Some great resources for going green

I hope everyone had a great weekend! I am so exciting it is finally warming up again so I can get the kids outside and playing (and getting rid of all that excess energy ;).

Today I was thinking I would just share some of my favorite resources about new green products or ways of living more green. One of the resources is http://www.greenmommyguide.com/. Some great features of greenmommyguide.com includes a weekly win-it section where you get a chance to win a fabulous green gift from a fabulous green vendor. Posh Organic recently gave away a $50 Gift Voucher for the weekly win-it, and you can see many other great products that are given away each week! Some other great features of the site includes wonderful articles about different products that help protect our earth with products soft and gentle enough for our precious babies. This is one site definitely worth bookmarking!

Another resource I use is Kiwi Magazine. Not only do they have a magazine, but they have wonderful and fun information online at http://www.kiwimagonline.com/. Kiwi magazine does use recycled materials when making their magazine, and of course recycling the magazine after you are done with it is a must! There is great product information and articles, including eco-friendly crafts to do with the kids. Some great articles are also online and they have a blog and crafts section online as well.

This is just a couple of great resources I like to read and get new ideas for my own family. I am still not as completely green as I would like to be, but I keep implementing new ideas as we can afford it. For instance, we have had our vehicles for quite a few years now, and cannot afford a new one, but when we can, we plan on getting a hybrid if possible (I still need to do some research on cost to fix and stuff, I have heard it can be pretty expensive, but that can be for any car depending on what's wrong). Also, I cannot buy as much organic food as I would like right now, because of cost. But hopefully when I finish school, with both my husband and I working, we will be able to afford more things, and hopefully will be able to just grocery shop at the natural foods store.
