I was just up on a pregnancy site reading entries from new mamas the world over. One theme was common among them all - the green thing is on the move. I was delighted to see so many women who, now faced with the future of their children's children, are thinking of the stability of our planet and societies. So cool. What was not cool was the guilt many admitted to having. Not like being a mother in itself is a cesspool of guilt, now we get to lob on our inadequacies as a planetary stewards with our less than perfect parenting skills. Sheeze.
I'm here to remind you that just by making conscious decisions you are on the road to a greener world. Check out an article I wrote on 5 easy and super cheap ways to save money while going green. http://coolerchoices.com/page10779.asp. In addition to those tips - pay attention to who you are buying from. Choose companies who employ green business practiced like offsetting their carbon footprint and supporting other green businesses. Buying a product from a company who donates portions of their sales to make a positive impact opposed to one that is just making a buck and possibly donating for the write off will make your green go farther (both monetary and environmentally). So take a breath and relax. You can totally do this.
You Go Green Girl!!!!
