Hey Conscious Spenders!
It's been a loooooooooooong time since I posted...but I just got re-inspired by a really cool tip on an egg white blog (of all places!) that inspired me to post about non-toxic glue! Hope this is a handy tip!
From the Organic Egg White Blog powered by Eggology:
Egg Whites are Not Just for Eating!
Did you know that you can use egg whites as a glue substitute? Use it to glue paper or light cardboard in place of white glue.
So while you are buying natural, healthy food, you can re-purpose it for glue - how conscious is that! :)

16 Ways to Heal Your Home
Co-Op America sent an email today with great new links to help your home...
From Co-Op America:
"Did you know that here in the US, about 80,000 industrial chemicals are registered for use in all of the products we eat, touch‚ wear‚ and use to furnish our homes… but that fewer than 20 percent have been tested for their impact on human health and the environment?
These include ingredients in our food, household cleaners‚ and body care products. They include chemicals used on and in toys and furniture and clothing and bed linens.
Wouldn't it make more sense to prove a chemical is safe before running the risk of harming people who use the product‚ workers who make it, and the communities where the manufacturing facilities are located?
That’s the idea behind the Precautionary Principle. It turns right-side-up the upside-down way our society makes decisions about risk. The Precautionary Principle requires proof that products are safe‚ and errs on the side of caution."
Co-Op America added a Healthy Home Center to their website, pulling together the best "healthy home" articles from our green-living newsletter‚ Real Money‚ along with new tips and strategies from the spring issue of our Co-op America Quarterly magazine.
