CONTEST IS OFFICIALLY OVER! WINNER WILL BE ANNOUNCED ON TUESDAY AUGUST 12! THANK YOU!!!! 355 entries!! WOW!!
Happy Tuesday! Time for Tuesday's Green tip and a Green give away!
We have visited this room of the house before, the laundry room. When I first posted about this room I had just purchased Charlie's Soap and had only used a few times. Now that I have been using it for some time now I have grown to LOVE this product! This stuff takes out EVERYTHING! Seriously! From grease to grass stains to poop! Yes poop. This stuff would come in handy for those of you who cloth diaper!
I purchased the Liquid soap in a gallon and all you need is an ounce. That is a lot of loads of laundry! I purchased their pump that dispenses an ounce so no measuring! Our clothes look wonderful and THE BEST PART...it is natural. I also purchased their All purpose Cleaner and have grown to love it as well. It cuts grease like no other and took grass stains out of school uniform pants that had been sitting like that all summer! Nothing. else. worked.
Now for the contest.....some Charlie's Soap of your own! One lucky winner will receive 2 bags of Laundry Powder, 2 small bottles of Laundry Liquid and 2 sprayers of All Purpose Cleaner. That is a $75.00 value! That is 192 loads of laundry!! Winner will be picked by random at 11:00 PM CST on Monday August 11th and winner will be announced on Tuesday Green Tip blog on August 12th.
Here are the contest rules:
Leave me a comment for one entry. For an additional entry tell me your favorite green tip in a seperate comment. Contest open to all! If you do not have a blog send me an email!
Good luck and thank you Charlie's Soap!

«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 355 of 355I wouldn't call this my FAVORITE green tip but it's by far my biggest contribution to the green movement. I make all of my own cleaning products. Please save me some time and effort and let me win these products! Thanks for the great contest!
Great giveaway, thanks so much!
My green tip is to use reusable shopping bags. pretty easy. thanks again!

This sounds really neat - thanks!
My favorite green tip is to swith to LED light bulbs.
He hang clothes outside to dry.
thanks for great contest...really would love to win!
My green tip (and thanks for extra entry!)...get 2 timers in the bathroom for showers. Have the first one set for 5 minutes so the person taking the shower has a 'heads up' that they have to wrap it up and the second one for a few minutes later, to end the shower, and using hot water...the trick is to get your family into the habit of setting them...but they WILL once they get into the right habits. THANKS
my green tip..call your power company and have them come out to see how you can save energy...free service

I would like to try these great products. I'm always looking for a better and greener way to clean.
I recycle as much as I can and have learned to make nice art projects from discarded items. I found an old furnance grate and cleaned it up, painted it and made a prety piece of "art" to hang on my fence.
We donate all items that we no longer to local charities.
Still learning on ways to do better.
My green tip is to pay bill online, we also carpool and use reusable bags for grocery shopping!
I would LOVE to try this!!!!
My (very favorite) green tip is to join a CSA!!! And the added bonus is that the vegetables and fruits are AMAZING!!
Sounds great. Never heard of it before now.
Green tip- Use the energy saving light bulbs.
Am I supposed to leave a green tip? Instead of throwing boxes away, I use ALOT of them, cut up to draw or paint on, or we use the cardboard for book covers, because my kids draw about 100 pictures a day. They love when you make a book out of their stuff.
P.S. Need help with laundry, send the soap!
i would love to win this. we cloth diaper and i heard this stuff is great for that!
thanks

here's a quick green tip for another entry:
we reuse onion bags as scrubbers in the kitchen. put a couple of the net bags inside each other until you get a little ball. then scrub away. we even use them to clean out baby bottles. it works really well!

Thanks for the contest!
Always looking for a new GREEN product. Would love to try this.
I recycle plastic bags from grocery shopping. I use them for our garage sales and as trash bags (rather buying trash bags from the store).

Thanks, my green thing is eating a vegan diet.
I'm planning on cloth diapering our next baby, and in my research I've read that this soap is recommended for washing cloth diapers, so I'd love to win.
beccachristensen at hotmail dot com
We don't eat out very often, but when we do I bring our own food containers for leftovers. Saves us from the nasty chemicals in foam takeout containers, and less waste too!
beccachristensen at hotmail dot com
Sounds like great stuff! Thanks for the giveaway!
This looks like a great product!
My green tip is to take advantage of the warm weather and dry your clothes outside instead of in the dryer.
What a fantastic giveaway! With 3 young children all under the age of 10 we do a lot of laundry in our house! And, to hear Charlie's Soap removes all kinds of dirt and stains is perfect for us! I also like the fact that the detergent is natural, that is so important to me and the safety and health of my family!

Okay, here's my "Green" Tip! If someone else already posted this I apologize, I tried to make sure I read all the tips so I didn't duplicate! This Green Tip is for anyone who frequents Starbucks or any Coffee Shop - Bring your own Coffee Cup or Mug when you go to get your daily burst of Java! If everyone did this, we would cut down on millions of disposable styrofoam and paper coffee cups being thrown away everyday! I already keep my coffee mug in my car so I am prepared for each and every visit I make to any coffee shop - no more disposable cups for me!
joannaonthelake[at]gmail.com
I freecycle. I give usuable stuff I no longer want to other freecyclers, thun keeping it out of landfills. For a list of groups in your area, try www.freecycle.org

I would love to try this.
This sounds awesome - I would love to try it out on cloth diapers myself!
My favorite green tip: purchase a strip outlet that has an on and off switch to plug in your TV, Wii, etc. Just turn it on and off when you are using these items instead of leaving everything plugged straight into the wall, and your electric bill will be a little less!
I would love to try this soap!
I'd love to have my two boys try this soap.
My green tip is Turn off your screen saver. Did you know the EPA has estimated that using a computer's "sleep mode" reduces its energy consumption by 60 to 70 percent and, on a large scale, ultimately could save enough electricity each year to power Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine, cut electric bills by $2 billion, and reduce carbon dioxide emissions by the equivalent of five million cars? A screen saver that displays moving images causes your monitor to consume as much electricity as it does in active use. A blank screen saver is only slightly better but that reduces energy consumption by a small amount.
The best screen saver is also the best energy saver: turn off your monitor when you're not using it. The next best idea is to use your computer's power management feature to automatically shut the monitor down when it is not in use.
Despite the rumors, leaving your computer on overnight is in fact less efficient that shutting it down and booting it up the next day. Turning off your computer will decrease the amount of energy it uses, reduces its mechanical stress, prolong its life.
My son's skin is so sensitive, so I would love to try this laundry soap.

Favorite Green Tip: If you have trouble with teenagers leaving lights on like I do, put the lights on timers, then you will be sure that they go off.

To be green, first you must eat lots of veggies. LOL. Seriously, just recycle and be mindful of the materials you buy.

Being green is best left to Oscar the Grouch or Kermit the Frog. JK!! Really, it's about reusing what you can!
NAUnick15@aol.com
Thanks for the giveaway! Sounds like a great product that I would like to try out!
I've only started learning about going green so my green tip is just
very basic:
hang your towels up to reuse!
"Works great on grease, blood, mildew stains, pine sap, grass, red clay, mustard and poop"! This sure would be handy around here!
lokeelanee (at)netzero(dot)com
My green tip would be to take or use only what you need! Reduce waste!

I could always use laundry soap! I was washing Frog's school uniform just last night and noticed that she had apparently rolled in the mud with it on. Go dh! solta(at)hotmaildotcom

I donate my plastic grocery bags to the Hospital thrift shop.When brushing my teeth, I only run the water when I rinse.I have a large barrel outside to collect rainwater that I use to water my garden.If I have to water my lawn, I only water in the morning so that it does not evaporate in the heat of the day.If my milk has passed the expiration date, I pour it in my potted house plants - they love it :-)
