From Soccer Mom To Eco Warrior Mom

[BadBoy@TheWheel]

Great article about housewives joining the fray to help the environment, and starting the trends in their own homes.

LOL, but I do admire the concept that people are starting to be accountable and take action:clap

I agree about the soccer mom phrase, Petah.


But, I seriously can't say enough good and praise about this article and the subjects.

I've always tried to be conscious about energy, being wasteful and moreso lately with chemicals in my products and cleaners.

I'm definitely going to do some research on bio products. the only thing I couldn't replace would be bleach cleaner for the bathroom. Sorry, but lemon or lavendar scented toilets don't say "clean" to me! Bleach breaks down to salt and water, so I guess it woudn't be a problem

Years ago, I only did laundry at night, taking a suggestion from some friends, to save on the electric bill, which was phenomenal because of the motion lights on our property, having two garages and .....well etc...

I'm definitly put that one into practice again, AND riding the metro/bus when I can, too. I think my youngest would love that, anyway.

I can send you a link to a place that has wonderful products, and chlorine free products that do clean good, and have some good staying power.

Method

No they are not my companies....it's not spammers:24:

But we use those products exclusively at our house.

Oh yes, I've used Method hand soap before. Buuuut, that's about it. I see a huge display of it at Target.

I must check it out.

I'll look at the other site now. Thanks!

No problem, you can order direct from them, the laundry detergent is awesome, so is the hand soap of course.

Both of those companies have great stuff, hope it helps

Everybody should try eating the locally grown food if they can. It tastes so much better.
