Spring cleaning presents us with an opportunity to get rid of old junk, dust away cobwebs, and turn our homes (which probably feel a bit stifled after heavy winter use) into clean and clear palaces for the summer.

But despite all its advantages, spring cleaning is not normally associated with eco-friendliness. In fact, if anything, the process of removing old junk from your home is likely to be environmentally wasteful to some degree: most of the old food, clothes, and junk we throw out with inevitably end up in a landfill.

Yet there are ways to make your spring cleaning a green-friendly affair – or, at the very least, to make it more green-conscious.

Here are three ways for accomplishing this:

-Donate your trash. The saying “one man’s trash is another man’s treasure” applies well to spring cleaning. Instead of using junk hauling to bring all unwanted items from your home to the local trash depository, you can instead recycle those items and reduce landfill space by donating anything possible to charity.

-Plan for next year. For many of us, a large part of spring cleaning consists of going through our freezer and throwing out old food that expired months ago. While throwing out food is environmentally-wasteful, the true waste occurred when we let that product expire in the first place. On this note, when cleaning this spring, take note of the type of items – food or otherwise – that you find yourself throwing out. Then, make a note to yourself promising greater responsibility in these areas in the coming year.

-Teach your kids. Spring cleaning offers a great opportunity to teach your kids about recycling, reducing, and reusing. Once you’ve determined all the clothes, food products, or other items that you no longer need, go through this list with your kids and have them help determine what to do next. What can be recycled? Where can we reduce our consumption in the coming year? Is there anything that can be reduced?

Following these tips can help make your cleaning project a greener one this spring. While spring cleaning and eco-friendliness do not naturally go together, with a little effort and ingenuity almost anything can be made more green-conscious than it already is – cleaning included.

• Musicians drive most of the time especially if they have tours. Instead of spending much money on regular fuel these musicians/bands use vegetable oil to run their vehicles. Some even collect and filter the used vegetable oil from their favorite restaurants.
• Eco-friendly musicians power the batteries of his gadgets with the help of solar panels. They save a lot in electricity because they use the natural source.
• CDs are handprinted on recycled cardboards and they do not use plastic.
• Guitar picks are made of bio-compostable and eco-friendly materials. These guitar picks offer the same strength and durability as the standard guitar picks.

As you listen to your favorite bands/musician sing over the  mxl microphones, it is best to know if they are one of the very few eco-friendly musicians that we have. If so, help them spread their advocacy towards saving and preserving mother Earth.

To create your own rustic antler chandelier, you begin by assessing the antlers that you are going to use. There are artificial and replicated antlers but it is best that you go for natural pieces. There are kits available that will help and guide you to create your own antler chandelier. If you already have one, you can deconstruct it and check how it was done. Make sure that the wires and electricity are properly installed. You can use modeling clay to level the bulbs. Once done, and you need to put it on an electrical source, it is better to seek help of a professional.

Joco Paulo Lammoglia who is a Brazilian based inventor came up with the idea of an air mask that works like axis ht. Why? It can boost the energy and charge iPhone and other iOS devices without the need for electricity. The mask will convert your breath into electricity and all you have to do is to wear the air mask on your face and connect it to your iPhone. Just breathe as usual and your iPhone gets charged. You can wear the air mask while doing your usual daily activities and even while sleeping.

Soil preparation is vital before you start growing. Whether you do it in advance with a compost heap or do it just before you begin planting doesn’t matter too much, but as long as it’s done, you’re fine.  The soil needs to be halfway between clay-heavy and sandy, with enough room for water to permeate it. Anything that’s either too sandy or has too much clay won’t do it, whereas plain dirt needs plenty of nutrients for you to grow a tomato plant.

To grow them, begin by doing so indoors, be it in your kitchen or in a greenhouse. Do this between March and mid-April, when frost outdoors is still prevalent. Give them plenty of sunlight and water, and keep them warm.

From late April onwards, you can transfer them outdoors. Dig a hole in your soil of around six inches or so, and plant them in it. This will allow for greater access to the soil’s nutrients. It’s also worth putting a cage over each plant, as they will lean onto the cages, keeping them fairly upright. If you want to prevent them from being attacked by weeds, perhaps growing them in a raised bed could be the solution, as they are widely believed to grow better that way.

As for maintenance, if your plants have plenty of greenery but few tomatoes, it’s worth clipping some of the leaves to allow the tomatoes to grow better. Also, it’s worth checking them daily once they appear fully-grown, as they ripen very quickly.
