Another List of Tips from Kiwi Magazine
This came in the same email newsletter.
After it’s use as a baby food or spaghetti sauce container, what can you do with a glass jar? Here, four great ideas:
* Use the jars to grow your own sprouts at home
* Store items like oats or dried beans that are purchased from your market’s bulk section
* Make homemade salad dressing by shaking it up in the jars and storing them for later use
* Kids can cover jars in papier-mâché, then paint them to create an original container for pencils, markers, or crayons.

Tips from Kiwi Magazine
These tips came in an email newsletter I got from Kiwi Magazine:
Between car washes, pools, air conditioners, and fans, it can be hard to conserve water and energy during the summer. These tips will help you make the most of these precious resources:
* Run the dishwasher and washing machine in the morning or evening, so your air-conditioner won’t have to work extra hard to compensate for the heat of these appliances.
* When washing your car or letting your kids play in the sprinkler, do it in a place where the lawn needs watering anyway, rather than on the driveway or sidewalk.
* Ceiling fans are a great way to cool down, but remember that fans cool you, not the room, so turn them off every time you leave. (Click here for more tips on staying cool while going green.)
* Cover your pool when you’re not using it so the water won’t evaporate as quickly. Also, turn the heater off or down to prevent rapid evaporation (the warmer the water is, the quicker it will evaporate).
