Other Hints For Greener Living:

Mother JonesSeptember/October 1997 Issue


  • SWEEPING CHANGES

    • Keep heat or air-conditioning from escaping by installing a door sweep. They cost about $5 at the hardware store and, with the energy savings, pay for themselves in no time.

  • SOFTER SOFTENER

    • There’s a chemical-free way to chase static cling away: Just add 1 cup of vinegar or 1/4 cup of baking soda during the final rinse cycle.

    NOW IS NO TIME TO QUIT

    It's been a tough several weeks for those who care about the truth: Congress, the FBI, and the judiciary are seemingly more concerned with providing cover for a foregone conclusion than with uncovering facts.

    But we also saw something incredibly powerful: that truth-tellers don't quit, and that speaking up is contagious. I hope you'll read why, even now, we believe the truth will prevail—and why we aren't giving up on our goal of raising $30,000 in new monthly donations this fall, even though there's a long way to go to get there. Please help close the gap with a tax-deductible donation today.
