household elf
Household Elf is a badge devoted to keeping a home clean and green. Ideas include:
• Create a checklist of ways to save energy around a building. Send the girls on a walk around whatever place you hold your meetings in to check off everything your building does right.
• Decorate reusable bags to take to the grocery store in substitution of the wasteful plastic variety.
• Do the Toilet Test to see how much water is wasted by a nearby lavatory facility! Put a few drops of food coloring into the toilet tank. Allow to sit for fifteen minutes--make sure no one uses the toilet during that time! Then look at the toilet bowl. Is the water colored? If yes, then the toilet tank leaks!
