The Eco-Friendly Bathroom Is Something To Smile About
When it comes to personal hygiene - especially relating to zones below the belt - who isn't inclined to a little potty humor every now and then?

Today's family bathroom is still a place of retreat, and more importantly it is becoming a place of cleaner, greener living. Here are some eco-friendly adjustments you can make in your bathrooms to improve your home's decor and reduce its impact on the environment.
