This is GreenBeing Nancy.

Teaching my children to be self-reliant. How green can I go?

Let me try with these socks.

So worn out! What can I do with them?

Use them as duster.

…slip it on your hand.

Moisten it up a bit and…

Dirty! Wash it?

Not yet!

Turn back to front. You can still use it.

Wash it now?

2 more sides to use.

Turn it inside out!

Place moist sock on your leg.

See this yucky on the floor?

Not using hands! Not bending.

There! Its gone…

There is one more here…

Not a problem. Back’s not aching.

There its gone!

Reduce Waste

Make use of socks that

…are all worn out. …have lost a side.

…you have out grown.

Save water!

The material for socks are usually thick. So, it is great for cleaning stuff that you don’treally want to lay your hands on.

Wash only after it has been used from the out side and in. It is small and make washing easy for kids to handle.

Throw it when it is too dirty to wash.

Make Cleaning Fun

Here, Callie. Can you help me dust that out?

Have fun. Thank you.

Duster

So, before you throw…
