It’s NOT All About Green

We started this site out of our necessity.  Today's unstable economy, the high cost of energy, food, and transportation has driven us to produce a website that will help you save money while "going green."

“Going Green” is a term used primarily to understand what effect we, as human beings, have on the environment and global warming.  Our focus on this site will be slightly different. Our overall goal will be helping the average family save money by reducing costs! 

 

We believe that we need energy independence from other countries.  We need to be able to rely on ourselves and not have to pay the outrageous sums of money for oil.  Until energy independence happens we feel that we are still vulnerable to another economic crisis. 

 

We also think that making better choices for our own health related to keeping  synthetic chemicals and GMO’s out of our foods is important.  Ironically, most of our organic solutions are “green” and can save money.

 

Major points of interest for this site:

 

  • Saving Green-quick, easy inexpensive ideas to reduce energy costs and waste!
  • Organic Gardening-How to grow healthy food in your yard, whether you are a city dweller or suburbanite.  Saving money on your grocery bill and maintaining healthier food sources for you and your family.
  • The 4 R’s?- The usual mantra is Remake,  Reuse, and Recycle.  We also believe “Rethinking” should be added.  First, people should "rethink" what to do with unwanted items.  Save money rethinking new ways to utilize products and give it a new purpose before discarding.
  • Green Cleaning-Healthier, greener choices for cleaning that are more economical. How to make your own or what to look for when you buy
  • Hanna’s Garden-Birds, butterflies, gardening and games for children.                 

 

These areas were decided upon because of our need to find a better, more efficient way to maintain our lifestyle while decreasing our overall expenses. You can learn more about our personal story on “About Us”

 

How can we help?

We have been working toward educating ourselves and becoming more environmentally responsible to reduce our carbon footprint and we would like to share with others what we have learned. What are the best choices we can make that will be economical for us and safe for our planet, our fellow human beings and future generations? These same questions are the ones we will try and answer on this site.  As this website grows, we expect to open a forum for questions, comments, and success stories so that everyone may be involved with the growth of "going green" to a bigger and brighter future for many generations.

Visit often: We will be updating regularly as we research, implement, and find better, more efficient, economical ways of maintaining a healthy lifestyle! Also, check out the gardening section, which includes some great recipes for your organically grown garden vegetables! Feel free to send us your comments and suggestions.
