SAVE $$ - and BE CLEANER and HEALTHIER -- STOP FLUSHING FORESTS and USE A BIDET



Popular globally, except in North America, bidets are healthier for your body, prevent hemorrhoids and UTIs - and are hands-free, so less spread of germs, and a blessing for those with physical limitations.

Stop using toilet paper, and fight deforestation and climate change. Why flush a forest ecosystem down the toilet? Better to bidet!  ßFunny video of first-time users.

Scientific American says we use 36.5 billion TP rolls each year, wasting 15 million trees, 473 billion gallons of water, 17.3 terawatts of electricity, and 253K tons of chlorine - plus packaging & shipping.

A non-electric toilet bidet attachment costs ~$40-$70 and installs in ~15 minutes. And it can save you thousands, as well as your valuable time, stocking up on toilet paper.

Medicare for All - Saves EVERYONE money, time & headaches


The U.S. is the ONLY developed country without some form of universal healthcare (everyone covered). No more navigating the broken system, and doctors can make decisions in our best interests that corporate insurance companies can't deny. Premiums are cheap. Obamacare was the first step toward Medicare for All. It has saved our country billions - our tax dollars. Spread the word.

Stay cool & save money in summer. A/C is expensive for you & the planet.

Cut 50% or more off your summer electric bill by using less or no A/C.  You can still keep cool. Use ceiling or room fans. Keep blinds down when the sun is out, and doors & windows shut to the hot air. Don't run the A/C or fans if you're not home. 


Also, using A/C increases outdoor temps - in your neighborhood, and via climate change from carbon emissions from extra energy to run the A/C. So using A/C creates the need for more A/C.

Cheapest "natural treatment" (& anti-aging) = LEAFY GREENS


Take the easy route: A Google search for "natural treatment" for ANYTHING will come down to mainly "leafy greens." And the darker green, the better. Better energy, vision, cholesterol, weight loss, blood pressure. Keep your intestines flowing, boost immunity & scrub your arteries. Improve memory; even skin & hair.

Raw leafy greens, especially from a local market, are an easy snack. AND eating low on the food chain helps the planet in many ways.

Great excuse to put off yard work - and boost your garden's production with more pollinators ! (Sierra Club re-post)





From:  Sierra Club Ohio Chapter · March 28 

[In the spring] PLEASE REFRAIN from cleaning up your gardens until the temperatures are constantly above 50 degrees! Many butterflies, bees, and other pollinators are currently overwintering in the dead leaves and hollowed out stems of last years plants. If you clean out your gardens too soon, you could be throwing away this years pollination critters!

Drinking tap water from a glass bottle makes you wealthier and healthier - and helps others survive


Save up to $1,000/year or more by skipping bottled water. Carry glass reusable bottles (vs the hazards of drinking from plastic), and use SAFER, cheaper tap water.  Big businesses many times have taken groundwater from small towns and farmers who need it, to make bottled water and pop.
