What is Green?
What does it mean to be green? I asked my three year old Henry and he told me it was a color. Duh. A color with many shades. I looked out the window and our grass is deep green from the rain but the leaves are changing and the green is dull. Can't we all be some shade of green?
I don't profess to do everything "green". I try to make everyday choices that I feel are safe for me, my children and for the environment. I recycle and try to not be wasteful with electricity. I unplug items that are not in use. I turn my SUV off when I'm not in it. Yes, an SUV! See, I'm not 100% Green but I am a shade. I live where we get a lot of snow and so I need a SUV. I write this to show people that you can do something and be some shade of green.
Everybody can do something. You don't have to do everything and you shouldn't try or you'll go crazy and be a zillion shades of who knows what color! Instead make choices that are good for you and your family and that make sense. Teach your little ones through examples. In my home my biggest "green" task is using everything non-toxic and natural. Cleaning products, personal care products, home care products and nutrition products. I green my home and my body as much as possible. To see how I do it check out some of my links below.

I just discovered at our local health food store a reusable shopping bag!
I have been on the look out for one. For only $5.00 it comes in cool colors, holds 20lbs of groceries plus folds up in it self with a carabiner to attach to your purse or fits in your pocket or purse.
The name brand is Chico Bag.
I recently discovered some grocery stores give credit for bringing your own bags too (like 1 cent per bag). I guess my $5.00 will take a while to recover but in the long run less plastic for the enviroment and my little shade of green!
I would love it if my local grocery store would give me credit for bringing in my own bags. I have to say the bagger usually seems annoyed with me when I bring canvas bags.
