So what does ARSO mean? Here’s another eco-acronym that compliments “Reduce, Reuse, Recycle. ARSO is used by some in the environmental industry to help companies reduce and manage their carbon footprint. It stands for Avoid, Reduce, Substitute and Offset.
For example a business can:
AVOID buying a large SUV for deliveries or avoid using non-recycle copy paper.
REDUCE their purchases of overly packaged items.
SUBSTITUTE biking for driving to work or using more enviro-friendly office supplies or machines.
OFFSET their environmental impact by purchasing carbon credits.

I have a minor cough from a summer cold and was looking for something holistic to help me through while it runs its course. I tried this tea recipe that is not only natural but reliable for coughs. It contains thyme for chest congestion, honey to sooth the throat along with sage and vitamin-C-rich lemon.
Pour hot water over 2 teaspoons of organic lemon rinds, 1 teaspoon of sage and 1/2 teaspoon of thyme. Use either dried or fresh herbs. Add the juice of 1/2 lemon and a tablespoon of honey.
You can drink 2 or 3 cups a day for cough relief. I think it helped clear my sinuses too. A good shot of Irish Whiskey might help too:)
