Some history

Okay, just to give some background on me and why I’m going green. Turns out it’s easy to go green when you grew up poor. My family was very big on turning off the lights to “save a buck”. We bought most everything secondhand and lived by the idea that you waste not, you want not. This is definitely still ingrained in me today. I love to go to garage sales, I’m a big wheeler dealer. I have always saved paper scraps, to my husbands chagrin (he thinks I’m a pack rat, which I’m not). I’m just mindful of wastefulness but never so much as since I had my baby. He is why I’m doing what I’m doing. Read my about the author page to find out more.

I’m Going Green and I’m Taking You With Me!

On this blog, I will be reviewing environmentally friendly (“green”) products, discussing changes that we can make, changes I have and will make. I will also be calling out companies whose practices are harming the environment. I will be contacting those companies regarding changes that need to be made and providing info so that you can do the same. My goal is to inform, empower and create change.
