Go Green at Walmart

Check out what I found at Walmart for Sophia's lunch!!  I was so excited to find these! BPA free, machine washable, and easy to wipe down!  They were less than $8 for the set of 3!  These patterns are neutral so they will work in an adults lunch too!! Great for diaper bags, purses, and even coat pockets!!

What GREEN tips do you have when packing you lunch?

Go Green on St Patty's Day

Yesterday I came across a great way to go green and decrease junk mail while reading my Natural Health Magazine.

"Remove yourself from junk mail lists:  Go to the Direct Marketing Association's website (dmachoice.com) and register your address.  You'll end up with less to recycle -- and less opportunity to get bogged down by clutter!"

Thanks Natural Health Mag, I already registered my address and am looking forward to less mail to shred and recycle!

Do you have any other ways you are going to try to "green?"

Friday's Tip to Be Greener!

My dear friends over at Home Grown Families have inspired me to try to post more tips for my followers about being more GREEN!  Here is my first and favorite one to date! HA!! :) 

Did you know : The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency estimated last year that 840,000 tons of telephone directories went into the municipal waste stream in 2008.

I have an answer.....OPT OUT!!

Go to Yellow Pages Goes Green where you can quickly opt out of receiving the 5 bazillion page book!!!


And what about your neighbors you let that book sit on their porch for 5 months before it starts to disinegrate or the other neighbors who have never recycled a thing in their life??

SIGN THE YELLOW PAGE PETITION, AND HELP EVERYONE!! The petition is for an on demand system, where phone books will not be shipped unless you ask for one- kind of like recycling bins.

Who knew you could save up to 19,000,000 trees in just 5 minutes!! Amazing!

Thanks Melissa for such an inspiring post!  You better believe I already OPTED OUT for our Yellow Pages!  I think I have seriously received 2-3 copies over the past 8 months!

GO GREEN READERS!!!  GO GREEN!!!
