I love to take the time to explore the stores and products I buy to make sure they have less harmful chemicals and other ingredients to not hurt the environment.

My favorite way to "go green" involves recycling with the whole family. Here, even the kids get in on the action, helping to separate the types of materials, putting them in the right containers and making sure they are taken tot he recycle plant and filed accordingly. Getting them interested now, helps the environment and their world for today, tomorrow and beyond!

I love finding new ways of cleaning around the house naturally and sharing those tips with my friends and family. Apple cider vinegar, lemons, salt and baking soda are staples around here. It feels great not working with so many chemicals.

For me, living green means a total adjustment to everything I do in my daily life. It started with containers directly in the kitchen for recycling, and being aware of where the containers, paper and other recyclable products go. It is taking food scraps and putting them in our compost for the garden in our yard, and that helps our going green as well, growing some of our own fruits and veggies. I also make sure to use my bike, or walk short distances, or carpool whenever I can during the day. At night, we are more aware of what lights are on in the house, and make an effort to keep the use of electronics and lights to a minimum need. Doing these things not only helps our budget, but it helps the environment, and that is how we try to make a difference.

My tip for living green is to recycle. It's so simple and easy to do, even the city provides you with containers to separate your trash. I do this every day and it doesn't take up a lot of time and it does make a difference!
