I thought for Earth Day 2010, I’d highlight some of our previous reviews and posts having to do with living greener. If you’re looking for more ideas on how to live greener, check out my 15 easy tips for going green and saving money. I’d also like to recommend a couple of books for newbies (more experienced environmentalists will probably not get a lot out of these books, but they are nice to have as a reference):
- Do One Green Thing: Saving the Earth Through Simple, Everyday Choices
— this is a good book if you’re new to green living and aren’t sure where to start.
- Easy Green Living: The Ultimate Guide to Simple, Eco-Friendly Choices for You and Your Home
— this book introduced me to cleaning with essential oils. It has great tips, but you can also find these tips on the internet.
- If you live in Germany like me, I’d recommend 50 einfache Dinge, die Sie tun können, um die Welt zu retten und wie Sie dabei Geld sparen
, which gives lots of tips that are more geared towards life in Germany.
And now, here are some of our past posts:
- Book Review: Maybe One — on the case for having smaller family sizes
- Magic Nuudles — Toys made from cornstarch
- Green Toys — A San Fransisco-based eco-friendly toy company
- Eco-Paint — Eco-friendly fingerpaints
- Eco-dough is an Eco-do! — Eco-friendly play dough
- The Mooncup Reusable Menstrual Cup — a way to stop contributing tampons and pads to landfills
- Crayon Rocks rock our world! –easy to hold, edible, soy crayons
- Goldi pacifier — a pacifier made of pure, renewable rubber that is toxin-free
Do you have any tips you’d like to share?
