We change out air filters in the house quarterly. Being an accountant by trade this is an easy recurring time frame for me to remember.
That being said 12/31 was the end of the last quarter thus off to the home improvement big box store to retrieve air filters. Thinking along the way, "What a waste to just throw these filters out every time."
Lo and behold there are reusable air filters. They read my mind.
This filter is plastic and is comes with a plastic gird like sheet that filters the air. Now each quarter I'll rinse it off and put it right back. Best of all I don't have to keep remembering to go to the store to get them!
They cost about $20 each and we have 2 air returns in the house. So I figure in 5 qtrs I'll have recouped my investment and kept 10 air filters out of the landfill. We always spend too much when we go into those stores anyways. I don't think we have EVER left the store with just what we went in for. I digress.
See about putting the reusable air filters in your house too.

Thanks - didn't know about that! I think I will try these since I am always forgetting them at the store and also hate throwing them away - to bad Shaklee doesn't make a recycle one....
