Waste: uRth recycles and composts, and strives to reuse items instead of throwing away. Cleaning: use washable rags for cleaning, not paper towels.

Please use vinegar and baking soda to clean kitchen counters, bathtubs, showers, etc. Garden shower: the outlet from the washer and shower in the laundry bathroom is greywater, used to irrigate the garden in back. Use only biodegradable detergents, soaps, and shampoos in the laundry bathroom. Laundry: clotheslines are available for drying your laundry.

Food and shopping: it is a house priority to purchase in season, local, and organic food. uRth has reusable grocery bags for shopping use. Think carefully about packaging during food purchases. Try not to bring home takeout leftovers in polystyrene “clamshell” containers, which cannot be recycled.

Drinking water is available via the reverse osmosis water filtration system in the kitchen, and it is possible to carry water with you in reusable containers, eliminating the purchase of plastic water bottles.

Transportation: take public transit options (bus and train), carpool, bicycle, and walk to places you need to go. Maintenance: please use low or no VOC housepaint.
