Green Ways to Deal with Hazardous Materials in Your Home

Posted on December 2, 2013 by admin

Your home is your castle and probably the place where your family spends more time than anywhere else. Because of this, you obviously want to make sure that this special piece of property is as clean and environmentally friendly as possible at least for strictly practical reasons.

One major part of that idea involves identifying and getting rid of any toxic or harmful substances in and around your house as soon as you can. Thus, if that’s what you’d like to do, here are some effective and simple tips for pulling it off in a way that keeps both your loved ones and your local environment safe.

Don’t Stock Them to Begin With

The single easiest way to deal with hazardous materials in your house is by simply minimizing how many of them you have there in the first place. As materials technology in consumer products and building materials advances enormously and also evolves thanks to environmental regulations, more and more of the things we buy for our homes have a much more green friendly alternative to them, some by obligatory law that forces manufacturers to substitute.

Just as paint no longer contains lead and home insulation no longer contains asbestos, many of the cleaning chemicals and other materials you can put into your home have their much less dangerous alternatives. Investigate these, buy them instead of their more harmful counterparts and you’ll steadily reduce the need to even think about hazardous materials disposal.

Renovate and Clean Out an Old Home

If you live inside an old house or apartment, there’s a more than decent chance that it still contains some of the old fashioned dangerous building materials that are now banned in most places. This might especially be the case if you live somewhere where such bans aren’t yet in effect.

To fix this, renovate your home as soon as you can afford to; get rid of old paint on the walls, have a hazmat team pull out old insulation (especially if it contains asbestos) and, most common, find any old chemicals and trash that are stored where you live and take them to a certified recycling center. Your family will be healthier for it.

Soil Remediation

Soil remediation is a process that carries somewhat more effort and expense than your usual type of green cleaning strategy and in essence revolves around hiring certified professionals to come onto your property and clean your soil through a variety of procedures. These can include: complete removal of the contaminated parts (in worst case scenarios), soil aeration for the destruction of volatile organic compounds, bioaugmentation of soil, biostimulation and ground water treatment via filters that remove poisonous substances.

What soil remediation and environmental remediation in general do is clean the ground and water around or under your home so that they no longer contain harmful substances. It’s an especially good strategy to put this process to work on a piece of property where you’re planning on building a home.

Companies that offer these services are located all over the country but to name one example of what sort of service provider you should be looking for, take a look at RW Collins Soil Remediation and Excavation. They operate in the Chicago area but similar services are almost certainly available in your region.

Transport to a Designated, Qualified Depot

If you’ve handled the stripping out, removal and collection of assorted hazardous materials in your property on your own, your best bet for a clean, green and mostly hassle free solution is to take them all to a certified recycling/disposal depot in your area. These kinds of places usually charge for taking your home’s toxic materials off your hands but in some cases they will also take certain materials for free as part of an incentive program.

Find out where depots like these are located in your city or municipality and easily get rid of your hazardous garbage by handing it off to them.

Composting (but after Careful Research)

Composting hazardous materials is a very tricky proposition that does not at all apply in most cases and especially when we’re discussing chemical compounds, volatile organic compounds or inorganic toxic substances.

However, in certain rare cases, certain types of hazardous organic trash can be composted down into useful end products through decomposition right on your own property. If this is at all possible (and you should always carefully check to make sure it is) then it’s one possible inexpensive green solution for disposal.

Save Energy at Home Part 5: Electronics by Brunswick Plantation Living

Posted on November 25, 2013 by Kevin

Brunswick Plantation and Golf Resort, a coastal Carolina gated community, has been a proud Energy Star partner since 2010 via its Commercial Division. We want to help people save energy at home, period.

If you are considering purchasing a new home, an Energy Star certified home is the best choice for your family, the environment, and your wallet. If you are interested in saving energy on the home you living in now….read on.

Electronics are Everywhere:

In fact, electronic devices account for about 15 percent of home power usage today. The Consumer Electronics Association says the average American home has two mobile phones, three TV’s, one digital camera, and two DVD players or recorders, amidst other devices. They say an average American home has a total of 24 consumer electronic devices!

What Can You Do to Save?:

Most electronic devices use small amounts of power even when they are turned off. Things like DVD players, kitchen appliances, stereos, computers, and TVs that almost everyone has are like electric vampires.

In Fact, around three-quarters of the power used by home electronic devices is used while the devices are turned off! Avoid this wasted energy and money by unplugging the devices or using a power strip and switching it off when not in use.

Here are some quick ideas to curb electric usage with common electronic devices.

Computers

Ever heard that screen savers curb energy use in computer monitors? This is a myth and the better way to save energy at home is to turn the monitor off.
If using a laptop, save energy at home by plugging it into a power strip that can be turned off manually or automatically. This will keep it from using energy while off but plugged in.
Use your energy-saving settings on your computer to shut down the monitor and hard drives when not in use for 10 minutes or more. And of course turning the device off completely when not in use is the best.

Televisions, DVD Players

Many new TV’s and DVD players have standby modes now which can be used when not in use…but still use power. Plug these devices into power strips that can be turned off. Take advantage of a switched receptacle to make this easier. Also, there are new plug-in devices available that sever the power line so to speak to eliminate the power drain.

Battery Chargers

Research indicates that using rechargeable batteries for devices such as wireless phones and other small devices is less expensive than single use batteries. To live green you should dispose of batteries properly as they can be hazardous to the environment.
The biggest waste with battery chargers is when they are left plugged in and the battery is fully charged. Be mindful of how long it takes to charge your devices. Set an alarm reminder on your smart phone to assist. This will save money and save the life of the battery as overcharging reduces battery life.

We hope these simple insights and tips will help you save energy at home. As with many great accomplishments, small steps on a daily basis result in large improvements over time.

Toys for Tots

U.S. Marine Corps Reserve “Toys for Tots” Program

”Toys for Tots” boxes are located in the Brunswick House @ Brunswick Plantation and Golf Resort, as well as various places throughout Calabash and other near-by communities in the Carolinas. It is an international program sponsored by the Marine Corps Reserves.

Begun as early as 1947 by Major Bill Hendricks, USMCR in Los Angeles, California, it expanded into a nationwide community action project in 1948. That year Walt Disney designed the now famous “Toys for Tots train logo & created the national “Toys for Tots” Poster!

Mission: The Mission of the US Marine Corps Reserve “Toys for Tots” is to collect new unwrapped toys during the months of Oct., Nov., and Dec. each year , and distribute those toys as Christmas gifts to less fortunate children in the community in which the campaign is conducted.

Goal: The primary goal of the”Toys for Tots” is to deliver, through a new toy for Christmas, a “Message of Hope” to less fortunate youngsters that will assist them in becoming responsible, productive, patriotic citizens.

Objectives: To help less fortunate children throughout the United States experience the “Joy of Christmas”; To play an active role in the development of one of our nation’s most valuable resources – Our Children; to unite members of local communities in a common cause.

The Marines State that: Today’s Children are Tomorrow’s Leaders…Civic, Business, & Social. Alarmingly, approximately 13 million American children live in poverty. “Toys for Tots” is one vehicle for addressing the issue of poverty among children.

DYK…Upon conclusion of the 2012 campaign, “Toys for Tots” had distributed nearly 16.8 million toys to more than 7 million children!

Please contribute a toy to the “Toys for Tots” program this year. Your “Joy of Giving” will help a child experience the “Joy of Christmas”! Good for All! Merry Christmas!

Pet Tips: Are you feeding your cat properly? by Brunswick Plantation Living

Posted on November 18, 2013 by Kevin

We love our pets here a Brunswick Plantation & Golf Resort, a gated coastal carolina community, and offer up these Pet Tips. Are you feeding your cat properly?

We all know diet can be tricky. After all we often eat too little or too much or have too little or much sugars, fats, and nutrients in our human diets. This begs the question are you feeding your cat properly?

Mistake #1 Too Much Food

Over-feeding is likely the most common issue in feeding your cat. In fact, the most common nutritional disease in cats is obesity.

While maybe that chubby kitty is cute, obesity can produce diabetes, urinary tract disease, and arthritis.

Of course you most likely aren’t over-feeding on purpose. However, you need to consider the activity level of your cat. Are they lying around on the couch all the time or are they chasing squirrels in the yard?

To maintain a healthy, normal weight experts recommend from 24 – 35 calories per day per pound. Consult with your vet to determine whether your cat is already overweight.

Mistake #2 Feeding Only Dry Food

Another big mistake is using only dry food. In fact feeding only dry food could lead to urinary tract problems. This stems from the fact that cats need more liquids in their food than say dogs as they are evolved to get moisture there and don’t drink water from bowls enough to remain healthy.

Mistake #3: Offering Too Little Water

Water is essential to all life including cats. In fact an adult cat’s body is between 60-70% water by weight. Illness or death can result from water deficiencies. Wet foods can help with this issue but you should also have several sources of water throughout the house for your cat. Notice where they spend a lot of time and locate fresh water there. Also, some cats prefer running water and have a distaste for chlorine in the tap water.

Here is a tip to help get your cat to stay hydrated: fill a bowl of fresh water but crush catnip leaves under the water flow as you fill the bowl. Your cat will love it!

Mistake #4 : Adding Garlic for Tapeworms

One of the biggest myths is that garlic can prevent parasitic infestations like tapeworms. Also, if too much garlic is ingested a cat’s red blood cells can be killed.

If you think your cat may have tapeworms then see the vet who will likely prescribe an oral medication. Don’t try to treat with over the counter or other herbal remedies.

Mistake #5: Going Vegetarian or Vegan

Cats have evolved as obligate carnivores and therefore must eat primarily meat and animal organs to be healthy. Many nutrients and amino acids necessary to be healthy are only found in meats. Trying to meet these needs synthetically can be a very tedious and high risk task.

Mistake #6 : Creating Nutrient Deficiencies

Homemade does not equal healthy. If you fail to balance the meat with proper amounts of calcium health problems can occur. In addition, a cat diet too high in liver, tuna, or liver oil can result in bone and joint pain, dry skin, and brittle bones. Also, too much fish in the diet can cause brain damage, muscle weakness, and seizures.

We hope you found these tips helpful. We know that having a healthy pet to enjoy the world can be a big part of A Better Way of Life. Learn more about living at Brunswick Plantation & Golf Resort HERE.

Golf News From the Pro 11.13 at Brunswick Plantation

Posted on November 14, 2013 by admin

Hello to All,

Welcome to Golf News From the Pro 11.13. November is here and the first thing I think of is the holiday season. Fall has arrived and our course is in superb condition. As a reminder when driving carts in low areas please use caution. Without winter rye grass water has no place to be absorbed, so low areas may not look wet but will leave a bad tire rut if driven over.

The NGA Professional tour played here at Brunswick Plantation Golf & Resort November 12, 13, 14. Many of these youngsters are the future of the PGA tour. I hope you had a chance to come out and watch them play.

We have fall outerwear that just arrived in our pro-shop. Please come and check out the selections. Items like men’s and women’s full zip fleece jackets, windbreakers, sleeveless and more. The Pro-shop staff would like to wish all Members and property owners have a great golfing month.

Rob Vaughan and his golf course maintenance staff have worked very hard to keep our facility in excellent shape this season. As we come into the winter months Rob will be initiating our winter dye program. He and his staff have been testing and refining for several years now. I expect our first application to be applied late December.

Something to Ponder

Since we have implemented the dye program golfers are not asked to stay on cart paths for the first two to three weeks in October. Your green complexes are much drier because we don’t have to water the grass overnight. You are getting at least ten to twenty yards of roll on our firm and fast fairways! Your greens are much smoother and faster.

Greens for the Winter

We will be going to a three hole location on each green complex starting December 1. Myself and Rob will pick these areas and make them as fair as we can. Each green will have three cups, and the ones not being used will have a rubber cover over them and will not interfere with your putting. This method will help rob with old cup growth which we do not get in the winter. Our goal is to reduce the number of cup locations and this method will do that.

Tee-time Schedule Change

A reminder to all Members and property owners that our tee schedule changes December 1, 2013. The Pro Shop will open at 8 am and close at 5 pm. Our first starting time will be 8:50 am. The later start helps with cold mornings in case of frost.

Thank you,

Shawn Hicken

Head Golf Professional

Membership Director

Pro-shop Manager

Home and Garden Fall Decorating Tips by Brunswick Plantation Living

Posted on November 11, 2013 by Kevin

Here at Brunswick Plantation & Golf Resort, a gated Coastal Carolina community, we enjoy helping our new neighbors create the home they dream of. After they’ve moved in we help them continue to realize that dream by offering up these Home & Garden Fall Decorating Tips.

Natural Tablescape

Create a rustic look with a touch of elegance by using timeless silverware and thin stem-ware along side white plates. Add seasonal color with bold orange napkins.

Etch Your Pumpkins

Get clever by etching your address or name into your pumpkins. Stack different types of heirloom and traditional pumpkins on your front steps.

Fall Foliage Arrangement

The secret to arranging leaves is by grouping size and color variations…just like flowers.

Photo: Laurey W. Glenn

Shed New Light on Canning Jars

Get a chic rustic and industrial look by using glass jars with chord kit and dimmer and hanging these fixtures at different heights.

Photo: Laurey W. Glenn

Make Custom Candleholders

Create a cute and novel candle holder in minutes. Just scoop out a 1″ diameter hole in min pumpkins and pop in votive candles.

Mix Colors

Orange and yellow pumpkins really stand out when paired with greens and yellows.

Top a Table

Plant an assortment of succulents on a bed of bricks in a tray. Fill in the gaps with Scotch or Irish moss. Top the bricks with pumpkins.

Use Playful Place Cards

These leaf place card attached to a little felted acorns double as a fun party favor. Scatter loose felted acorns—or real ones—up and down the table to enhance a natural theme.

Take the Party Outside

Enjoy your Thanksgiving dinner outside in the South’s mild clime. Your guests will be surprised with a perfect set table in the garden, yard, or patio.

Party Perfect Sideboard

Want to make a beautiful and functional sideboard? Use Simple fall arrangements alongside festive plates and serving wares.

Photo: Laurey W. Glenn

Fall Table Setting

Have a fall party in style without over spending. Try recycling some house hold items like that extra-large jug and get branches with leaves from the yard for a festive centerpiece.

Photo: Erica George Dines

Use Humble Materials

Pair quality with simplicity like this kraft paper place mat alongside grain sack napkins. A burlap runner and elegant silver and stem-ware complete this humble yet high-end look.

Photo: Erica George Dines

Bring the Indoors Outside

Meld the outdoors and indoors together by using upholstered chairs around a picnic table.
