Clean Green Tips

Did you know that you can clean most of your home using just a few common items like baking soda and white vinegar?  Use a 50/50 mix of vinegar and water for a good disinfectant  and make a paste of baking soda and water for those areas that need a good scrubbing.  Best of all? Baking soda won’t scratch surfaces!  Use these and other easy tips for your spring cleaning.

Communikey 2012

Their website says it best:  “Communikey is a Boulder-based interdisciplinary organization dedicated to social, cultural and ecological innovation through creative process. We facilitate forward thinking cultural experiences that emphasize the intersection of sound, design and technology in artistic forms that are under-represented. Communikey forges a creative exchange across cultures, backgrounds, and mediums while fostering the development of the local arts community.”

I know I’m intrigued at what all that means!  Come on out April 25-29, 2012 to check it out for yourself.
