It always surprises new visitors to my home to learn that we never buy paper towels. I guess it’s just habit for most people to ask for them after washing their hands, but it’s literally been years since my husband or I have bought a roll. This didn’t happen overnight. Eliminating paper towels and napkins was definitely a process, but it was a necessary step toward reducing the amount of waste in our kitchen.
Our goal is eventually to have no waste at all leaving the kitchen, which tends to be the room where most of our household trash is produced. :: READ THE FULL POST
Last week, I told you about the challenge Seventh Generation had issued to myself and several other Walmart Moms: In four weeks, do what we can to make our homes greener. Last week, I talk about greener cleaning. This week, the topic is saving water.

A lot of things have changed for my family since January. When my daughter was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL), it felt like someone pulled the rug out from under us — like things would never be “normal” again. In part, we were right. The doctors and nurses charged with my daughter’s care warned us that we should expect to find a “new normal,” and that we eventually would find our footing, even if it took a while.
Without going into a whole lot of detail, suffice it to say that I’m a busy woman. With a daughter who stays at home with me and a blog and graphic design business to run, there’s not a lot of time left at the end of the day. And while going green is an incredibly important part of my life, and my livelihood, I admit even I am mildly annoyed by the fact that “green” is rarely synonymous with “convenient.” In fact, the two terms are nearly polar opposites. While I understand this disconnect is for my own good (because convenience generally = disposable), it still gets under my skin from time to time. So when I find a company that manages to successfully package Earth-friendliness and convenience together, I’m an easy sell. Sun & Earth did this for me. :: READ THE FULL POST

Green Your Decor was borne of frustration in my attempts to find eco-friendly housewares that were also beautiful, and inspiration to do something to reduce my own carbon footprint and help others do the same in a beautiful way.
