Did you know that April is Earth Month?
Are you looking to “Green It Yourself” and make eco-friendly upgrades to your house?
My family and I replaced all of our lightbulbs in our house with Energy Saving Lightbulbs. They will last up to 5 years!
If you’re looking for ideas you can check out Green Works “Green It Yourself Facebook Application“.
They have a ton of ideas from reducing chemicals in your kitchen to clearing your kid’s room of allergens!
You can also view fun webisodes featuring HGTV carpenter and green-living expert Carter Oosterhouse! (Trust me, you won’t mind watching these episodes! 😉 )
Follow his helpful tips and instructions and complete your own “g.i.y” projects! While you’re doing it you get the chance to win fun prizes!
Browse through Carter’s how-to’s, recommended tools, and watch him in action as you learn how to make your home a healthy, clean and green place. You can also join the green-over conversation by sharing your top tips and to-do’s for greening up your own home.
Each “g.i.y” video focuses on a different room in the home, including; the Family Room and Kids’ Room (Available now!) , Bathroom and Kitchen (available in the next couple weeks!).
I loved watching the webisode for the Kid’s Room. My favorite so far is how to “Green” your laundry!
Make sure to enter the sweepstakes! It will go through May 12th and you have to win some awesome “Green” Prize Packs!
You can also sign up for the Green Works newsletter where you will get news, tips and a coupon!
Guess what?
One lucky winner is going to win a mini Green Works Prize Pack which includes:
Green Works® Natural Glass & Surface Cleaner cuts through filmy residue, and is safe on multiple surfaces throughout the kitchen and bathroom including glass, mirrors, appliances and stainless steel.
Green Works® Natural Bathroom Cleaner works on tough stains like soap scum, hard water, and rust, and is safe on multiple bathroom surfaces, including counters, sinks, tubs, tiles and shower doors.

I am immersed in the green movement – I run Insteading.com, which is a site dedicated to sustainability and self-sufficiency, my professional writing work at CrunchyWriter.com is focused on helping companies “green” their marketing efforts, and of course I’m raising a pack of little treehuggers!

Besides recycling, we try to reuse items where we can, donate items that we no longer need but aren’t ready to be recycled, I’ve added reusable metal water bottles to our cabinets to cut down on the number of plastic bottles we go through in our house, bring our own bags shopping, and we use as many green cleaners as we can. My next step will be replacing our “doggy pick up bags” that are just plastic with biodegradable pick up bags.

We buy secondhand pretty much everything that is reasonable to buy secondhand (e.g., clothes, household goods, not underpants ^_^). It keeps items out of the landfill and saves production/shipping materials/energy.
