Best Way to Be Cleaner and Greener: Host a Green Cleaning Party. This is a fun event where you and your friends learn how to make nontoxic cleaners from common ingredients such as vinegar, baking soda and essential oils. No need to worry if it gets messy during the party, as you'll have all the products and tools you need to clean up. And, you can encourage your friends to do the work by letting them think they are trying out the products. The Women's Voices for the Earth, a national organization that engages women to advocate healthy-living environments, offers "green cleaning party kits," which are the 21st-century equivalent to planning a Tupperware party.
