Even apartment dwellers can do their part to help the environment. Unlike larger homes, few apartments have unlimited space for large recycling bins. Then there’s the problem of lugging them down to the curb!
This unique container is ideal for use in not only in apartments, but in dorms, marinas, campgrounds, and just about anywhere that space is limited. It is designed to be mounted on the inside of a cupboard door or closet and fits conveniently in small spaces.
The Apartment Recycling ‘Bag’ only requires one hand to carry it, leaving the other hand free to hold a railing or a child’s hand. The user friendly design and the size make this container convenient for carrying by seniors and children.

I know, Christmas was a month ago but I really miss the fragrant smell of our Christmas tree. There’s just something about those pine needles….
If you are like me, get your daily fix with these Balsam Fir incense logs. Since 1931, this all-natural incense will give off the same relaxing aroma of the warm, woodsy scent of the forest.
It sure beats keeping that Christmas tree up all year…

Ready, set, throw! Who doesn’t love a good snowball fight? Now you can be the King (or Queen) of the hill with the SnoFling! This innovative snow thrower allows you to make and pitch those snowballs further without even getting your mitts wet.
Originally invented in the ‘70s, on the Johnny Carson Show, the SnoFling sold over 5,500,000 units in three winter seasons. It now has a tether so it can be hung from the wrist and used while snowboarding, skiing and snowmobiling as well as a built-in horn for signaling and for sporting events.
And let’s face it… anything that helps you get through the cold winter months and makes you laugh and play is worth its weight in snow!

Here’s some information that should give us all pause for thought: Studies by the Health and Welfare Canada and Harvard University have shown that between 40 and 50% of homes in North America have moisture and mold problems serious enough to significantly increase respiratory symptoms among occupants. Particularly susceptible are pregnant women, infants, the elderly, and those with pre-existing health conditions.
Although many products claim to kill mold, they tend to be toxic and yet another health risk.
We love a great product called Concrobium that is 100% natural and contains no bleach, ammonia, alcohol or other harmful chemicals, making it safe for your family and for the environment. It is suitable for small household mold clean-ups or a large-scale mold infestation. Concrobium encapsulates and kills mold, prevents new mold growth and eliminates musty, moldy odors.

Buried in snow?
The Roof Razor Snow Rake is a quality tool that helps remove the dangerous accumulation of snow from your roof.
Unlike those cumbersome shovels, this user friendly tool is simple to use. Gravity does all the work! Stand on the ground and push the razor head upward into the snow. It slices into the build-up, causing the snow to collapse upon itself. Just watch the snow simply slide down the chute and off your roof.
According to the company, it is so effortless to use, that anyone from teens to seniors can easily and safely operate it -all it takes is just a quick push to bring down approximately six cubic feet of snow. In fact, the MinnSNOWta Roof Razor was used in the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City and performed effortlessly on all types of roofs - vinyl, membrane, flat and domed.
And, the Roof Razor was designed, built, and tested in Minnesota. Those people know snow and cold!

Are you longing for a kinder, gentler, greener world? As the old saying goes, everything begins at home. Odds are, if you live in a North American household, the air inside is more toxic than the air outside - even if you live in the most polluted of cities. You regularly handle the filthiest object in your home - the kitchen sponge, and put the same chemicals on your face that are used in brake fluid and antifreeze.
Worried?
Learn to live a clean, healthy, more economical way with Ellen Sandbeck’s Organic Housekeeping Book. Ellen will teach you how to maintain every part of your home - from living rooms to septic tanks, kitchen floors to bathroom sinks, using safe and simple cleansers. It’s a definite must-read!
