Green Mama Giveaway (closed)

Another book on the long list of Books I Want to Read When Another Hour or Two is Added to the Day- Green Mama by Tracey Bianchi. (It's not fair to make you all wait 3 or 4 years until I get around to reading it all before I get this giveaway going, so..) I really wish I could recycle every scrap of.. everything. And drive an electric car. Or one fueled with recycled cooking oil. I hate disposable water bottles. And utensils. And cups, plates, bowls. But I am far from where I'd like to be in terms of my green-ness. So.. this book.. is going to be great. For me. And you too. No matter how yellow, green, or blue you are.
"Printed on 100% recycled paper, Green Mama: The Guilt-Free Guide to Helping You and Your Kids Save the Planet by Tracy Bianchi, helps busy moms, who don’t know where to begin, become green mamas. Bianchi’s easy-going guide spares readers from a green guilt-trip and unrealistic expectations. She encourages readers to make small changes that set a wise example for their kids, but if some advice doesn’t fit a family’s dynamics, Bianchi will be the first to rethink the strategy. Green Mama is full of practical tips and easy changes, but some sustainable initiatives she offers take a bit more thought and sacrifice. The guide builds readers’ green confidence and allows them to gradually become a darker shade of green – until they earn the title of Green Mama."

  3. Homemade cleaners are easy to make & work good. We've recycled for a long time now, since I was little. I started using bags from home a few years ago. I try really hard to be green. However, sometimes you have to look into being green. For example, some "green" dishwashing soaps don't work as well, so you are doing dishes twice. That is wasting water.

  11. My green tip is an easy one- don't buy something if you don't have to. Look for something around your house that you can use, repurpose, etc. Also, I try to buy used whenever possible, saves money, saves on waste.
