Green Living Tips

Posted in Going Green

Reader's Note: I have been trying to post this for several days. For some unknown reason I have been locked out of posting here. It is MY computer/ISP server, it appears, because this is not the only community site I have submitted to and had this problem; all the while I can post on my private blog. GRRR! At any rate, this is much abbreviated from the original post, but it has all the links that I KNOW you will enjoy!

I have been busy digging in for green living tips and ideas. Something about Spring inspires me to re-focus and expand my family's green efforts. In my research I have come across lots of great sites that have bunches of information!

This first one is WONDERFUL! Life Tips' Green Living Tips is TOPS! I am much intrigued with their tips on beauty, home, food, and produce. The 10 Simple Steps to Living Green, is my current pondering! DON'T miss this site in your quest for living more greenly.

Normally, I don't recommend iVillage sites. Whenever I vist their sites, I feel as though I am floundering for information in a sea over populated with ads. iVillage's iGo Green is one you should visit, though.This site is no different, really, but I have been enjoying their articles, to the point that it was worth my hour or so of floundering.

Now, here's one I am so enjoying! The Daily Green. This site is more focused on food and gardening than anything else. It has some info about the latest news in the going green movement. I am really enjoying the Green Cuisine section! DRAWBACK..LOTS of ads kind of like iVillage.

Green Living Ideas is another great resource for researching ideas and options for living green. Right now I am studying the info about lawn care. This site has a LOT, so take it small bits.

National Geographic has a site called The Green Guide. I stumbled upon this quite by mistake. It is a little more "official" than other sites I have found, which made me a bit leary. But I started looking at some reviews of products and quite enjoyed it. It's definitely worth a look.

Well, I these are all teh sites I had written down on my notebook, so I hope you dig in and enjoy the study as much as I am! This is the perfect time to get your "goinr green" juices flowing.

These are my thoughts.
