upgrading the efficiency of your appliances, I can help you find the best green solution to save you money and help the environment.

COMPOSTING

     

“The average New York City household discards two pounds of organic waste each day
—adding up to more than one million tons of organic material a year!” 
That’s a waste of food and money! Who can afford that?!

Recycle your food and garden trimmings, reduce your contribution to the city garbage load
And, make non-toxic, nutrient-rich compost to feed your plants and yard!  

I’m a Certified Master Composter, providing on site & remote management of indoor worm-bins and outdoor compost systems.

RECYCLING

Its not just a great way to get rid of clutter, recycling helps conserve the large amounts of energy

it takes to produce and transport new items; it also keeps usable items out of the garbage and

allows someone else the benefit of a bargain find!

Set up a functional recycling system

appropriate for your home, office or school.

SPACE DETOX

A sustainable lifestyle is a non-toxic one!

The products we normally use are filled with chemicals that pollute our bodies and the planet.

Remove these harmful chemicals from your space, switch to natural products.

          TREE CARE

                

           Our air purifying friends need help too; Damaged from hazards such as vehicles, people and pets, trees are tackled with issues like broken limbs, compacted soil & pests, reducing their ability to provide us with clean oxygen.

I’m a certified Citizen Pruner providing planning, planting
and ongoing maintenance for your established site.
