NURTURE GREENING

If the idea of GOING GREEN seems a little bit daunting at first, take baby steps:

DO: Buy Organic Fruits & Veggies, especially the ones you munch on frequently. Organic foods are more and more easily available in your local grocery stores.

DON'T: Continue to shell out the Big Bucks for designer denims. Here's why, as presented by Starre Vartan in The Eco Chick Guide to Life: How to Be Fabulously Green "The darker the jeans, the more dye is used. Rivers and streams that were once clear are also turned blue when the jeans are washed after they are dyed and the toxic indigo is dumped into waterways."

DO: Read Starre Vartan's The Eco Chick Guide to Life: How to Be Fabulously Green I could not belive all the things I did not know, see above quote.

DO: Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle. Even if you start small by opting for Glassware instead of paper plates, cups, etc you will be making a big difference.

DON'T: Get discouraged before you begin. There is tons of information on GOING GREEN out there, start finding GREEN tips that work for you. Once you get started GREENING you will continue to come across info that motivates you to take more steps towards living a Greener Life.

With the GREENEST of all holidays approaching, my question to you is besides sporting the green color scheme for St. Patrick's Day. . .

What are you doing to GO GREEN in your life?
