Weekly Pink Goes Green Tip

Every Sunday at our Chapter meetings, our Pink Goes Green chair gives us a weekly tip.  These tips are to make us more aware and to help us become more sustainable.  Here is this weeks tip...

You can use some of your common bathroom materials in more ways than one.  Try cotton swabs.

Cotton swabs are convenient for cleaning out your ears and nose, but they are also useful for touching up those makeup mistakes, especially when you have a mascara mess.  Don't forget that Halloween is coming up, and you can use the cotton to apply greasepaint for your scary face.

You can also use the cotton swab as a miniature paint brush to fix a nick and scratch on your walls or cabinets.  They work well with both paint and wood stain.  For silver flatware and tea sets, shine them up properly with the cotton, because it will be easier to get in those cracks.

Even when it comes to your electronics, cotton swabs are helpful.  In addition to sanitizing your cell phone, you can also clean out the battery well- This is enable your phone to charge longer.

So instead of using big paper towels or a ton of tissues just a little cotton swab because they are recyclable too!
