  Gardens Inside / Outside.

We can help you start a garden any time of the year to grow super yummy herbs, vegetables and greens -- inside or outside. Gardens are vital, fun and good for the biosphere. Contact us for help with your garden today.

  Xeriscaping/ Landscaping.

We can help you power up your xeriscaping, landscaping and lawn to save water, reduce fertilizer pollution, protect rivers and our climate.

  Stylish & Stealthy Clothes Lines.

We can help you put up a sweet looking outside or inside clothesline that is far more ecological than using a clothes dryer. It takes 8 or more power plants to run US clothes dryers. [Ok ok... we can also install filters on conventional clothes dryers to re-route heat back into your house.]s

  Composting Inside / Outside.

We can help you setup a snazzy compost bin that helps protect the climate, produces fertilizer and is a fun home for earthworms and rolly pollies. Landfills create methane - a major greenhouse gas - when yard trimmings, fruit and vegetable food decompose.

  Organic & Local Food.

We can help you find groovy organic farmers to reduce the pesticides on your food, protect rivers and lakes, save wildlife and reduce global warming. We can connect you with a local Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) cooperative too.

  Conserve Water.

We can install toilet bowel flush control retrofits or low-flush toilets that are eco smart. Let's put in low-flow showerheads, low-flow faucet aerators, water filters and timers. We can fix those drip'rs too.

  Responsible Investing.

Regarding home finances, we dare to recommend a couple of investment funds that will put your money in companies that have an ecological commitment and respect for life.

Even better, we can recommend environmental non-profit organizations to contribute to or reserve assets for -- in exchange for tax perks. 		  .
 

  Refrigerator Coil Cleaning.

We can clean up those grimy, clogged refrigerator and freezer coils that can double or triple its energy use and create yucky in-home ozone. Clean refrigerator coils release heat wayyy betterrr.

  Eco Repairs, Upgrades & Remodels.

We can help you with a gaggle of home repairs. For big repairs and upgrades, we will introduce you to our favorite eco contractors and energy upgrade pros.

  Window/ Door/ Water Heater Insulation.

We can install clear plastic, foam stripping and caulking to insulate windows and doors to help keep your home cozy -- winter or summer -- and to save you money yearlong.

  Eco Home Tricks & Tips.

We can get those energy-efficient appliances, automatic timers, movement sensors, light switch dimmers and programmable thermostats going pronto. Let's do an energy audit of your abode that includes a structural energy efficiency scan. Sign up with our favorite renewable energy companies too.

Tips: Check oven and refrigerator gaskets. Avoid preheating ovens. Clothes dryers work best in warm rooms. Clear the lint filter and dry full loads. Clothes lines are the best. 'Energy Star' products can save $400/yr. Fluorescents can save $30/yr. Let's set your water heaters at 120-130F, refrigerator at 37F, freezer at 3F.

  Eco Car & Airline Talk.

We can help you offset your car and airline carbon footprint via inexpensive carbon credits. We can refer you to ecological car repair services, car upgrades, or help permanently retire an older polluting car.

Tips: Check tire air pressure, get regular tune-ups and change car oil to save 10%/yr. We can also help you find ways to drive less. U.S. cars comprise 1/5 of the world's greenhouse gas output.

  Eco Teams & Organizations.

We can also help you pick a ultra excellent environmental organization to support. Let's talk about The Sierra Club, The Nature Conservancy and other eco crucial non-profits. 		  .
