It's Easy Being Green Tip!
A number of foods including garlic, onions, shallots, potatoes and tomatoes should never be refrigerated because the cold will cause sprouting, loss of flavor, or conversion of their starch to sugar. Garlic, onions, shallots and potatoes should all be stored in a cool dark place; tomatoes should be stored at room temperature.

Mom always said “Save the Paper!” At Christmas and on birthdays, we are often left with mounds of wrapping paper and boxes. If you unwrap presents carefully, the paper can be used again. Once again, going green saves you money.
