No Green Police Here



E-MEALZ EASY AND DELICIOUS DINNER RECIPES

Almost three years ago I felt as though I had no place where I fit in to talk about non-toxic cleaners, my worry and concern over pesticides and foods. I felt as though there was no middle and I had to be what some call a “deep” shade of green or nothing at all. Those that represent the so called, “green police” are the ones that make me feel isolated or judged and make me feel imprisoned by their beliefs. The fact of the matter is, most of us are light green and striving to do something, which is why I love the Social Studies Group’s new report for green marketing.  The Green Police video shown during the Super Bowl is very humorous (excellent marketing) and so true on many levels (sort of sad) but the fact of the matter is this: There are NO green police here!

Why I started Blogging

*To create a place where I fit in.

*To create a place where there can be all shades of green.

*I started blogging to create my own place to “fit in”.

*To belong and share my journey and struggles to go green.

*To seek inspiration and motivation from others (Green and Clean Mom Community)

I Could Not Have Imagined

*That hitting publish for the first time would turn into a business, adventure and passion.

*I was capable of giving up paper towels!

*I would ban fluorescent colored cleaners from my home.

*Some of my closest friends are friends I’ve met because I hit publish!

Why I Continue to Blog

*I believe that it connects me to others I would or could have never met.

*I know I’m helping others to make changes – even tiny ones!

*I love growing, learning and sharing with you.

If you blog, why did you start and continue? What challenges do you face on this green journey?

    Thanks for linking! I love this post; so many of us are on that journey. Personally, I need to be reminded that Rome was not built in a day. (Paper towels. Yikes. I want to, I really do…..)

    So thanks!

    I second Wendy's thanks for sharing the link to our report! And, any brand or organization should be very thankful there are women like you who are so dedicated to sharing your journey. I really do believe that women who are green-minded (from light to dark shades!) and happen to also be moms are the leading indicators of what sustainably-minded consumers (men, women, parents or not) are now expecting (if not demanding). Thanks again for your support – I look forward to monitoring the continuing powerful influence the Green Mom Eco-cosm will have on brands.

    Andrea,

    A pleasure and I look forward to touching base as well. I’ll email this weekend and we’ll figure something out!
