Someone dropped this off in my little free library and I thought I’d give it a go. Some good information in there. Did you know you could reuse the wax bag inside your cereal box to bake your potato in the microwave? Because it is sturdier than other wax paper, it holds up better. Also, use vegetable oil to get pine sap off before washing your hands. Cucumber peels on an ant trail will keep them from coming in. And last thing I thought was interesting was to fill gallon jugs with water and black ink to absorb heat for your plants in the greenhouse. But that’s not all. This was full of information and good tips. Look for it in a used bookstore.

Although it is a "little bit" dated (published 1990!) , it still contains helpful advice about "Reducing, Re-using, Recycling"

I was born in the wrong decade! Heloise and I would have been good friends - she has plenty of ideas, many that are still feasible and many outdated. Some are useful and what sustainable earth-conscious humans are trying today!!
