As I have written before, I am slowly but surely trying to convert my family into green living by making small changes — buying organic and/or local products whenever possible, recycling everything that can be recycled as well as buying recycled products when available, and using energy-star appliances and energy-saving light bulbs. My small step that I started today is unplugging my desktop computer when I shut it down. It's not a huge thing — a minor inconvenience — but it will save a little bit of energy and all those little bits add up.
Another product that I haven't used yet, but which I learned about in the July/August issue of Body and Soul Magazine are environmentally friendly paints. Sherwin Williams has a "Harmony" brand and Benjamin Moore features "Eco Spec." AFM Safecoat was designed especially for people with chemical sensitivity.
