We are all about saving trees, but if you’d like to spread the good-n-green word by posting an Ideal Bite tip in a public place, we encourage you do so on recycled paper. Thanks and Happy Biting!

If 10,000 SF Biters fix one leaky faucet, in a week we'll save enough water to fill four Olympic-sized swimming pools.

Linoleum was originally a brand name, but it became so common that it was adopted as a generic term (like "Kleenex" or "Xerox").

Remodel Role Model - Home Improvement Week

The Bite:

Wanna look at your kitchen with admiration rather than disgust? First, try doing the dishes, then consider dropping in on Berkeley's Ecohome Improvement warehouse. Peeps are onhand to walk you through an eco-friendly remodel, whether you need to pinpoint designers or get to the nitty gritty of choosing a replacement for that linoleum floor that's rolling up at the corners. And on Apr. 19, there's more: Grab free organic vino and snacks, and enter to win how-to books or coupons at the unveiling of its new design studio. The studio's examples of countertop and flooring options (for any room in your house) - plus its low- and no-VOC paint bar - help you envision your easy-on-the-earth makeover, and you'll get 10% off purchases all day long. You'll be ready for a remodel you can look up to - not away from.

Wanna Try?

Ecohome Improvement's Earth Day celebration; Apr. 19, 12-5 p.m.; 2619 San Pablo Ave. at Carleton St., Berkeley (510-644-3500).
