]]> 23066 2 45 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/1830/45.jpg Get a plant Get a plant. They don’t just look nice; according to a study by NASA, they actually clean the air of toxins like acetone and formaldehyde. And they reduce humidity, so you’ll have less mold and mildew.

]]> 23067 3 58 Tip The best plants to rid the air of chemicals include spider plants, rubber tree plants, English ivy, Boston ferns, peace lilies, and any kind of palm.

]]> 23068 4 72 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/1830/72.jpg Replace your showerhead Replace your showerhead. A typical showerhead drops about seven gallons of water every minute, while a low-flow one only gives off about half that.

]]> 23069 5 82 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/1830/82.jpg Check your toilet A single leaky toilet can waste up to 100 gallons of water a day! To see if yours is leaking, put a few drops of food coloring into the tank, wait 20 minutes, then check if the water in the bowl has changed color.

]]> 23070 6 95 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/1830/95.jpg Use natural products Use only all natural shampoos, soaps, and conditioners. Not only do they reduce the amount of toxic chemicals that get into your body, they prevent those chemicals from going down the drain and into the groundwater.

]]> 23071 7 108 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/1830/108.jpg Swap your toilet Replace your existing toilet with a low-flow model. While regular toilets can use as much as five to seven gallons of water per flush, new models use less than two.

]]> 23072 8 119 Tip Some cities give partial rebates for buying a low-flow toilet.

]]> 23074 9 124 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/1830/124.jpg Clean the natural way Instead of using toxic cleaners, make your own. White vinegar fights germs, soap scum, mold, mildew, and mineral deposits, while two parts baking soda and one part hot water is great for cleaning tile and grout. Now you’ve created a green sanctuary…
