It’s easy to switch to green cleaning products when you’re moving into a new home. Going green with natural household products means spending less, cutting down on harsh chemicals inside your home, and putting less harsh chemicals down the drain and into your local water supply. Here are some green household tips for your Fall River home.

Club soda

Instead of Drano, pour baking soda down the drain, then follow up with white vinegar. Let the foam bubble up and soak for a minute, then pour boiling water down the drain to rinse.

Instead of window cleaner, mix 1 gallon of water with 3 tablespoons of white vinegar into a spray bottle.

Instead of a toilet bowl cleaner, sprinkle baking soda on the bowl and rinse with vinegar, then scrub with a toilet brush.

For a spot remover, use club soda.

Instead of wood polish, squeeze 1 lemon into 1 teaspoon olive oil and 1 teaspoon water. Apply a thin coat of this to the furniture, let sit for 5 minutes, and buff off with a soft cloth.

Even though it’s summer, Fall River schools are buzzing with activity! At Fall River’s B.M.C. Durfee High School, a group of 60 students ages 7 to 14 are participating in a summer course called FRED-TV. Within the school’s television studio, the students can be found working on such projects as a commercial, comedy skit, short movie, and a music video.

The program is an expansion of a successful FRED-TV summer camp that was offered a few summers back. Several of the students look forward to participating in the FRED-TV class when they begin high school at Durfee in the future.

The city of Fall River has turned to the individuals that are affected most by school policies — the students themselves. Thirteen students have been selected from B.M.C Durfee and Diman Regional Vocational Technical high schools to participate in this new student involvement program. Seven of the students will be distributed across four different school committees, with six to act as alternates. The students are encouraged to speak at meetings, though they will have no voting power.

To the students, Mayor of Fall River Will Flanagan stated “Ask as many questions as possible and learn as much as you can. Get involved as much as you can.”

The program is reciprocal in that it will allow a group of students to experience everyday municipal government, and it will provide fresh insight to those that regularly participate in the meetings.

The launch of the program has spurred even more interest in student involvement. Because the city boards are currently full, program organizers are seeking other organizations and agencies who would like to invite students to participate. A recent Bishop Connolly High School graduate was recently invited to the Community Development Recreation board.
