Column: Our thoughts on home or garden topics
on Dec 01, 09 at 05:12 PM Diane Quinn, our super-green Cleaning Stew, has created a beautiful and very useful zone on exactly that topic, green cleaning. Here is the introduction to her Green Clean Your Home Zone:
See that photo of beautiful, unpolluted Ireland on the left? Going Green is as normal to the Irish as chasing rainbows. It's not news to them that there are few home topics more important than finding green, more natural solutions to everyday cleaning problems.
With trendy green hooplah spreading across America, people want to know effective, natural alternatives to the manufactured products they've become accustomed to using. They want green choices that REALLY work!
I've gathered a number of factual and engaging green cleaning articles from the Cleaning sub channel. If you see any titles that |

For decades now, the Aurora Community Garden has been a place for members from the village and surrounding areas to use their green thumbs and grow all manner of fruits, vegetables and even flowers. However, a smaller membership and other challenges in recent years have meant that the land hasn’t met its full potential. Last weekend, a group of volunteers organized by Boy Scout Geoffrey P. Hintz ...

Hummingbirds' jet-like speed, fussy chatter and aerial acrobatics can entertain us for hours. Encourage these dynamic little birds to your garden by providing clean water and layers of dense shrubs, like Eleagnus, for nesting sites.

Survey says...
What's all this about stewarding? What is a steward?
 Stewards are writers' and readers' guides around Helium. Their "contact this writer" buttons always work, and if they don't know, they will find an answer to your questions.
They have amassed articles in their chosen subject, and many others, and are willing to share that knowledge with any who would seek it.
Imbibed in the spirit of giving, stewards help readers find material, writers find their voice and everyone find Helium.
Conduits in the information chain, stewards bring Helium news to the public eye. They twitter and stumble upon most everything, even if they digg it, too.
Real world knowledge comes from their hands on experiences. Stewards open windows.
Quality is the steward mantra. In their own writing, in the writing of their mentees, on the Helium site, they strive to bring the best information to the fore through writing, rating and education.
Many stewards inhabit the forums. They are the writer's pipeline into Helium. By suggesting titles, opening debates and listening to the writers, stewards find ways to bring knowledge to everyone.
Stewards learn. They keep their minds open to opposing opinion, marketing strategy, hot topics, demands for content and new ways to educate themselves, all while finding new ways to help Heliumites the world over.
If you need a hand, a steward will be there.
If you would like to lend a hand, become a steward. Read Barbara Whitlock's article on the Steward Program. Contact me for more details.
Meet all the Helium Stewards.
We are all here for you.
