Since you guys already know how dangerous soap and other chemical cleaner could be, 1000 Green Steps of course are going to suggest you some natural cleaner that is simpler than they ever were.
Easy all-purpose cleaner: Mix one teaspoon liquid soap or borax per quart of warm water. Try a splash of lemon juice or white vinegar to help cut kitchen grease.
Spray starch: Dissolve one tablespoon cornstarch into a pint of water for an equal spray starch substitute. Pour it into a spray bottle and use on your laundry as needed.
Oven cleaner alternative: Combine two tablespoons liquid soap and two teaspoons borax in a spray bottle and top them off with warm water. Spray the mixture directly onto caked oven gunk and let it soak for about 20 minutes. Scour the oven bottom with steel wool, and the caked on food should come right off.

1000 Green Steps love unique design, especially when it comes to things related to food 
Well, now 1000 Green Steps come up with an idea of Riverside Design Group through their Plates With Purpose. Plates With Purpose is a series of specially designed glassware that is made out of post-industrial, pre-consumer recycled glass. A portion of the profits from their sales goes to non-profit groups.
Each piece is hand-cut, hand-coloured and shaped to give this one-off effect. They come in 11 different themes, to benefit 11 different charities.
The other plates are equally charming. Each theme is associated with a different charity. The butterfly is for Forbes Hospice, the elephant for the National Autism Association, the forget-me-not is the Alzheimer’s Association, the healing garden is the Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh of UPMC, the heart is for Habitat for Humanity of Greater Pittsburgh, the ladybug is for United Mitochondrial Disease Foundation, the stars are the Persad Center & Pittsburgh AIDS Task Force, the wheat— Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank and the sunflower–Pennsylvania Organization for Women in Early Recovery–Tree Design plate go to help the Court Appointed Special Advocates.

If each of us makes these green steps toward eco-responsibility, we’ll go a long way toward subduing global pollution. All it takes is making a habit of environmentally conscious actions like those green steps above. Once they are second nature, we can add more earth-friendly habits to our repertoires.
