3 R Friday

Welcome to 3 R Friday

A weekly series of simple tips geared toward helping you darken your shade of green. Easily.

Reduce: Reduce your pedicure waste.

Take your own flip-flops, nail file and toe separator. Or save the ones the pedicurist gives you and bring them back with you next time. You may also want to take your own natural nail polish with you if your pedicurist does not carry natural polish.


Reuse: Reuse birthday candles.

After the birthday boy/girl blows out the candle, wash off the icing and save it. In my cupboard is a basket filled with numbered candles as well as candles in all shapes and colors. Whatever the occasion I am sure to have just the right candle. I have even let others borrow the candles. No need to buy new ones, I have plenty to share!


Recycle: Recycle #5 plastics (like yogurt cups, hummus tubs, sour cream containers)via the Preserve Gimme 5 program.

Hope you found these tips helpful. Feel free to share any tips you may have.

Have a Great Green Weekend!
