Did you know you can polish your shoes with a banana peel?

I mean, do you even really need to know anything else? That is the best eco tip I have ever heard but we are over-the-moon excited about blogger Sweet Maddie's book "All You Need  is Less" and you may never buy anything else after getting this book. It is really fun, packed full of wisdom and Maddie herself is a riot. How often do you find yourself laughing out loud when reading about composting? I bet not NEARLY enough.

In closing, I will just add that you must stay away from those scary "fresh smelling" dryer sheets. They are coated with lard? Oh, and that smell is 100% chemicals!
