Green Tip for the Week
|
|
A Wholesome Night's Sleep.
Next time you need to buy a new mattress, look for one filled with natural materials such as cotton, coir, or coconut fiber. They conduct body moisture much more effectively than sweaty synthetic mattresses, don't sag in the middle, and can be produced with a fraction of the environmental impact of fabrics such as nylon.
(Reprinted from: 1001 Ways to Save the Earth, by Joanna Yarrow)
