I’m Barbara Wagner, an MNA board member. I recently formed a committee to look at ways our neighborhood can become more environmentally friendly. If you’re interested in participating, email me at barbwire8@twc.com.
As part of this effort, I will periodically be posting “Green Tips” — information and advice about becoming more environmentally aware.
Here’s the first one:
Skip the Liquid Plumber and similar chemicals; cleaning gunk from your sink drains can be environmentally friendly — and inexpensive.
Here’s a three-ingredient recipe:
1/4 cup baking soda
1/4 cup vinegar
2 cups boiling water.
- Put the baking soda into the drain.
- Pour the vinegar into the drain.
- Pour the boiling water into the drain.
- Let it foam until the baking soda is dissolved.
Voilà! Your drain is fresh and clean without adding harsh chemicals to our waterways.
