Betina’s Green living Tips #3

Betina Foreman — Mon, 01 Mar 2010 02:31:54 +0000

Do you want to make a big impact on keeping our planet gree? Try implementing some of these suggestions in your daily routine. It’s a new year, make a resolution to incorporate one or more of these suggestions into your 2010 lifestyle.

•Ÿ Grow an organic garden in your backyard. Plant Marigoilds in every other row as a natural pesticide to keep your garden chemical free

•Ÿ Install gutters and a rain barrel to collect rainwater for your plants.

•Ÿ Build a compost pile. Feed it: lawn clippings, leaves, vegetable scraps and coffee grounds. Keep the vegtable scraps small and it will turn into compost more quickly. Turn it 3-4 times a year and it will create the best fertilizer for your garden.

•Ÿ Recycle old garden hoses by poking holes into them at intervals and then use them as soaker hoses for trees or your garden.

•Ÿ Construct a clothesline and retire your clothes dryer. This saves energy and the sheets and towels smell of fresh air instead of chemical softener sheets.

•Ÿ Carpool to school or work, or even ride your bike.

•Ÿ Plant a tree or two. If your yard is full offer your tree planting skills to an elderly neighbor.

•Ÿ Initiate a recycling program at work or school.

•Ÿ Volunteer with a local area clean up. The Austin Parks Foundation has clean up days several times a year. If you volunteer for a clean up they normally provide a T-shirt and lunch for all participants.

Betina’s Green Living Tips#2

Reduce what you consume. Now I don’t mean go on a diet, I mean reduce your households consumption. You can do this in a multitude of ways every day. The little things add up and have a real impact. Here are a few tips to reduce your homes trash and help make the planet a little greener!

•1. Buy items like dish soap, laundry soap, shampoo, and paper products in bulk. This reduces the amount of packaging you bring into your home.

•2. Buy products that are made from recycled materials. Paper towels are almost always available made with recycled paper.

•3. Instead of using disposable items like paper napkins, use cloth napkins and simply wash and reuse them. Cloth napkins will last for several years. Most coffee makers have a copper or gold filter option, which is a better option to using paper ones that are thrown out every day.

•4. Use rechargeable batteries and buy a battery charger.

•5. Shop local. When you spend your money with local retailers instead of big box chains, you save the local economy. Local shops that buy items like produce or art or clothing from local sources have a smaller footprint than big box chains that ship the same items made in China all over the USA to be sold.

•6. If you are getting multiple copies of mail order catalogs call them and ask to stop the paper catalogs. Shop online as an option to save the paper and postage spent on hardcopy catalogs.

•7. Paper or Plastic….? Neither! Buy cloth shopping bags or ones made from recycled soda bottles.

It’s a new year make a resolution to incorporate one or more of these suggestions into your 2010 routine.

If you are in the market for an Austin area home and are not presently working with a Realtor, please call me. I would be happy to help you through the process of buying or selling a home.

Ten Most Common Pet Poisons of 2009

Betina Foreman — Tue, 19 Jan 2010 15:24:34 +0000

As a pet owner for the last 25 years, I wanted to share the top ten pet poisons. Responsible pet owners need to be vigilant about keeping these items out of reach of their pets. Help keep your pet safe from these common items found around your home.

Cheers!

Betina Foreman-Austin TX Realtor

Via Kristin Johnston,Realtor,Waukesha County WI Real Estate (Remax Realty Center 414-254-6647):

Ten Most Common Pet Poisons of 2009

Is your pooch mad for people food? Does your kitty like to self-medicate? Sadly, not everything we love is good for us. In fact, many common household goods that we take for granted as harmless can poison our furry friends. In 2009, the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center in Urbana, IL, handled more than 140,000 cases of pets exposed to toxic household substances, including insecticides, cleaning supplies and prescription medications.

To help you keep your pet safe and sound in 2010, our experts have created a list of the 10 common poisons that most affected our furry friends last year. Here’s a sneak peek at their advice:

Top dishonors—once again—go to human medications, which accounted for the most calls to the ASPCA’s 24-hour poison control hotline in 2009. Pets often snatch pill vials from counters and nightstands or gobble up meds accidentally dropped on the floor. Remember to keep all medications, including pain remedies, antidepressants and decongestants, in a cabinet far away from pets’ prying paws.

Cats and dogs are often the unwitting victims of our efforts to battle flea infestations. The misapplication of spot-on flea and tick products can be especially problematic for our feline friends. Talk to your vet about choosing the right, species-specific flea treatment for your pet and never use products made for dogs on cats, and vice versa.

Some of the most delicious people food—including citrus, avocado and raisins—can be poisonous to pets. Chocolate ingestion accounted for nearly half of all people food-related cases in 2009, so be sure to keep cocoa hidden from your resourceful cat or dog.

Pet parents also need to remember to protect their cats and dogs from common household cleaners such as bleaches, detergents and disinfectants. These products, when inhaled by our furry friends, can cause serious gastrointestinal distress and irritation to the respiratory tract.

Household plants may keep your house green and your air clean, but some can cause serious gastrointestinal problems for companion animals who nibble on them. Check out our toxic plant list before your next visit to the nursery.

Here is the full list of 10 common poisons:

Top 10 Pet Poisons of 2009

With various dangers lurking in corners and cabinets, the home can be a minefield of poisons for our pets. In 2009, the ASPCA’s Animal Poison Control Center (APCC) in Urbana, IL, handled more than 140,000 cases of pets exposed to toxic substances, many of which included everyday household products. Don’t leave it up to Fido or Fluffy to keep themselves safe. Below is a list of the top 10 pet poisons that affected our furry friends in 2009.

Human Medications

For several years, human medications have been number one on the ASPCA’s list of common hazards, and 2009 was no exception. Last year, the ASPCA managed 45,816 calls involving prescription and over-the-counter drugs such as painkillers, cold medications, antidepressants and dietary supplements. Pets often snatch pill vials from counters and nightstands or gobble up medications accidentally dropped on the floor, so it’s essential to keep meds tucked away in hard-to-reach cabinets.

Insecticides

In our effort to battle home invasions by unwelcome pests, we often unwittingly put our furry friends at risk. In 2009, our toxicologists fielded 29,020 calls related to insecticides. One of the most common incidents involved the misuse of flea and tick products—such as applying the wrong topical treatment to the wrong species. Thus, it’s always important to talk to your pet’s veterinarian before beginning any flea and tick control program.

People Food

People food like grapes, raisins, avocado and products containing xylitol, like gum, can seriously disable our furry friends, and accounted for more than 17,453 cases in 2009. One of the worst offenders—chocolate—contains large amounts of methylxanthines, which, if ingested in significant amounts, can cause vomiting, diarrhea, panting, excessive thirst, urination, hyperactivity, and in severe cases, abnormal heart rhythm, tremors and seizures.

Plants

Common houseplants were the subject of 7,858 calls to APCC in 2009. Varieties such as azalea, rhododendron, sago palm, lilies, kalanchoe and schefflera are often found in homes and can be harmful to pets. Lilies are especially toxic to cats, and can cause life-threatening kidney failure even in small amounts.

Veterinary Medications

Even though veterinary medications are intended for pets, they’re often misapplied or improperly dispensed by well-meaning pet parents. In 2009, the ASPCA managed 7,680 cases involving animal-related preparations such as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, heartworm preventatives, de-wormers, antibiotics, vaccines and nutritional supplements.

Rodenticides

Last year, the ASPCA received 6,639 calls about pets who had accidentally ingested rat and mouse poisons. Many baits used to attract rodents contain inactive ingredients that are attractive to pets as well. Depending on the type of rodenticide, ingestions can lead to potentially life-threatening problems for pets including bleeding, seizures or kidney damage.

Household Cleaners

Everybody knows that household cleaning supplies can be toxic to adults and children, but few take precautions to protect their pets from common agents such as bleaches, detergents and disinfectants. Last year, the ASPCA received 4,143 calls related to household cleaners. These products, when inhaled by our furry friends, can cause serious gastrointestinal distress and irritation to the respiratory tract.

Heavy Metals

It’s not too much loud music that constitutes our next pet poison offender. Instead, it’s heavy metals such as lead, zinc and mercury, which accounted for 3,304 cases of pet poisonings in 2009. Lead is especially pernicious, and pets are exposed to it through many sources, including consumer products, paint chips, linoleum, and lead dust produced when surfaces in older homes are scraped or sanded.

Garden Products

It may keep your grass green, but certain types of fertilizer and garden products can cause problems for outdoor cats and dogs. Last year, the ASPCA fielded 2,329 calls related to fertilizer exposure, which can cause severe gastric upset and possibly gastrointestinal obstruction.

Chemical Hazards

In 2009, the ASPCA handled approximately 2,175 cases of pet exposure to chemical hazards. A category on the rise, chemical hazards—found in ethylene glycol antifreeze, paint thinner, drain cleaners and pool/spa chemicals—form a substantial danger to pets. Substances in this group can cause gastrointestinal upset, depression, respiratory difficulties and chemical burns.

Prevention is really key to avoiding accidental exposure, but if you suspect your pet has ingested something toxic, please contact your veterinarian or the Animal Poison Control Center’s 24-hour hotline at (888) 426-4435.

Betina Foreman — Thu, 07 Jan 2010 04:14:32 +0000

A new company called Bean Brand Foods just launched a great new healthy chip called Beanitos Bean Chips. The company was created by two brothers: Doug and Dave Foreman. This innovative chip is completely corn-free, made from whole beans and has a number of health benefits: high protien, high fiber, high in Omega 3’s, low glycemic, and gluten-free. The health benefits are wonderful, but the chips simply taste too good to be good for you. Beanitos hold up well for making nachos and are great for dipping in salsa, hummus or guacamole. They have two varieties: Black Bean and Pinto Bean with Flax Seeds, both are delicious!

You can find them in the following local Austin stores:

Avenue B Grocery-4403 Ave. B (Hyde Park)

Barton Food Mart- 1500 Spyglass (Barton Hills)

Barton Hills Market-1220 Barton Hills Drive (Barton Hills)

Bluebonnet Food Mart- 1701 Bluebonnet (Barton Hills)

They are also available online at Beanitos.com. In the spirit of being totally transparent and honest, you should note this is a shameless plug for my husband’s company. The thing is I love these chips and I am sure you will too!!
