Green Tip for the Week

Full Steam Ahead 
If you need to replace your washing machine, look into steam technology.  Steam machines use 30-40% less water and 20% less energy than conventional machines, can operate without detergent, and leave clothes clean and wrinkle-free. (Reprinted from: 1001 Ways To Save the Earth, by Joanna Yarrow)
