Technique: Most things in the kitchen can be cleaned with a basic mixture of vinegar, baking soda and lemons. For bigger jobs, choose natural, plant-based cleaning products. For trash, consider using newer biodegradable, recycled plastic bags. Tip: Buy as much food as you can locally. Most produce in the US travels an average of 1500 miles from farm to plate.
