Green Tip of the Day

Clearing the Air

Most fragrance products, including ones labeled “all natural,” contain dangerous chemicals such as benzene, formaldehyde, and phthalates. For a green alternative:
  • Burn beeswax candlesticks or candles that are lightly scented without the use of chemical additives.
  • Make potpourri out of dried flowers, cinnamon sticks, and essential oils
  • Bundle sage or lavender and dry it, then hang it in any room or in the kitchen pantry.
  • Collect fallen pine bows and pine cones and use as a tabletop centerpiece.
