Our Green Living

At heart, most of us know our individual actions do have an effect on the environment. We’d like to change, to help, but consuming responsibly can be incredibly expensive. The price of organic food is outrageous, recycling is confusing at best and have you seen the price of an environmentally safe laundry detergent that actually works? Who can afford it? Not to mention all the misleading claims about “natural” products. How do you sort through all the hype, find out what really works and manage to afford ecologically responsible purchases?

Well, here’s where I hope to help out a bit. Frugal and ecological living is my passion and I’d love to share the tips I’ve picked up while figuring out how to live my life responsibly and frugally while still enjoying modern conveniences.

What We Write About

Organic Farming

Thirty years ago, using the term “organic gardening” would probably conjure images of hippies with headbands growing marijuana in the closet of a college dormitory.

Nowadays, however, organic gardening isn’t just an understood pastime or hobby. For the sake of our environment, it is becoming a necessity.

Whether you’re converting to organics from synthetic gardening, a beginning gardener learning organics from scratch, or a seasoned organic gardener – congratulations. You are taking important steps toward improving our planet. After all, if we don’t do it, who will?
