Green gift products to make your Christmas giving (or own home) a little more earth friendly…

So, my last post had to do with Renton getting its garbage service set to be a little more recycle friendly, including adding kitchen scrap/food recycling.  I’m personally really excited about this development.  On top of that good news I also just learned some new things about a variety of...
