     Eco Tune-Ups For Home, Work And Life
Below are some of the GreenTweaks services we offer to
help you help the planet and save you money.
 .
 
 
ECO DRYING YOUR CLOTHES
 
We can help you get an outside clothesline that looks good and is far more ecological than using the dryer. Setting up an dryer filter to recycle its heat into the house is great too.

 
COMPOSTING INSIDE / OUTSIDE
 
Landfills create more methane - a major greenhouse gas - when yard trimmings, fruit and vegetable food decompose. We can set a compost bin that protects the climate, helps landfills and produces fertilizer.

 
GARDENS INSIDE / OUTSIDE
 
We can help you start a garden any time of the year to grow herbs, vegetables and greens -- inside or outside. It's fun, fresh and our planet loves it. Contact us for help with your gardens today.

 
XERISCAPING/ LANDSCAPING
 
We can help you with xeriscaping, landscaping and lawn to save water, reduce fertilizer pollution, protect rivers and our climate.

 
ORGANIC & LOCAL FOOD
 
We can help you find local 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 Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) cooperative too.

 
CONSERVE WATER
 
We can help you install a low-flow showerheads, low-flow faucet aerators and repair leaks. A family of four can save 20,000 gal/yr. Ultra-low-flush toilet or a toilet displacement device are good too. About 40 percent of home water gets 'flushed'. Let's fix those drippy faucets too. A 'dripper' can waste 20+ gal/ day. A leaky toilet 200 gal/ day.



 
INVEST RESONSIBLY
 
We can help you find investment counselors to invest your funds with companies that reflect your social and ecological values. Also check out Coop America's Guide as well.
  .
 
  REFRIGERATOR COIL CLEANING  
Dirty refrigerator coils can double or triple energy use and create more in-home ozone. We can clean those coils for you to help your refrigerator breathe.

 
ECO REPAIRS, UPGRADES AND REMODELS
 
We offer some home repair services -- for the small stuff you need help with. For big repairs and upgrades that we can't do, we can refer you to reputable eco contractors, energy upgrade professionals, eco repair people in your area.

 
WINDOW/ DOOR INSULATION
 
Let us install some caulking, foam or clear plastic to insulate windows and doors to keep you home a nice temperature -- winter or summer -- and to help mother Earth and save $$.

 
MORE ECO HOME HELP AND TIPS
 
Installing energy-efficient products and appliances is critical. We can help you find 'Energy Star' products that can save $400/yr. Fluorescents can save $30/yr. Plus, let's get automatic timers, sensors or dimmers on your light switches. Winter thermostat to 68 day and 55 night. Water heaters to 120-140. Refrigerator at 37, freezer at 3.

Check oven gaskets. Avoid preheating. Clothe dryers work best in warm areas. Clear the lint filter and dry full loads. Dry clothing outside. Get energy audits. Sign up for renewable energy.

  ECO CAR TALK  
Eco car repair services and car upgrades are also good. We can help you permanently retire your older polluting car too. 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 also can help you pick a great eco organization to support. We can tell you about The Sierra Club, The Nature Conservancy, and some other very important local environmental organizations.
