Save Money and Help the Planet

November 5, 2008 By greenandcleanmom 2 Comments

Guest Post by Patricia Wooster http://www.projectorganiceating.com Let’s face it…..the economy is in bad….bad shape. The house I bought 2 years ago is worth 25% less today, my husband and I spend $300 a month more in gas, and the stock market is shrinking our retirement account daily. It’s time for us to re-evaluate our finances [...]

Giveaway has ended! Congrats to comment number 42! The BPA and plastic issue…it’s too much.

Listening. Some of us hear what others are saying but we don’t listen. Do you hear the wind and listen to the sound it makes? I usually don’t but listening to nature and the natural environment around us, it should be the same as listening to people. Not just hearing but listening. If I don’t [...]
