HANDMADE BROOMS

June 24, 2008 11:00 AM

Using water to hose down driveways and streets has a number of problems associated with it. It's a big no-no for water conservation, plus it sends urban runoff contaminated with pollutants (pet waste, pesticides, and trash) into our waterways and out to sea.

And, since leaf blowers, the common alternative, are noisy, emitting, allergy-aggravating machines, the old-fashioned broom is the very best answer. Yes, it takes a little more work, but gentle exercise done regularly is what keeps us fit as fiddles into old age.

Made from 100% renewable sorghum grass and non-toxic dyes, this one is made Fair Trade in Thailand. (It comes with a little whisk broom and dust pan.)
