Thanks for confirming I was right in thinking soy candles were the way to go.<br /><br />NotEasytobegreen - I think you are right. Companies need to start doing something to minimize their carbon footprint. Until the government steps in and threatens fines, I'm not sure that's going to happen with a lot.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17182023445485838169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6708773980860162137.post-33900609106995256072011-05-05T11:04:47.920-05:002011-05-05T11:04:47.920-05:00I got a bit behind with the daily CTWW, too.

Sadly, I'm not turning out to be much of a green thumb (seriously, how did I get aphids on inside herbs?), so I haven't gotten into planting trees. We try to minimize our use of electricity, since it's probably coal powered, and we don't use artificially fragranced things because of the cat. I have a feeling that the most effective things we could be doing to purify the air are petitioning the government to crack down on polluting industries and boycotting companies with poor environmental records. Must do more research...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6708773980860162137.post-54064446408216024242011-05-04T13:27:50.694-05:002011-05-04T13:27:50.694-05:00Hi!

I think a lot of people use them without a thought and I'm sure that they simply release toxins into the air. Regarding air fresheners ... I've had success with essential oils ... I put a drop or two on a lightbulb or put some on a cloth in the area or even soak a cotton ball and vacuum it up (it'll freshen the air as you vacuum). Yep ... soy candles are the ones that burn cleaner. <br /><br />Thanks!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18323775808390175925noreply@blogger.com
