Going green with the DH and kids?
November 30, 2009 by admin
Filed under Green Cleaning Tips
Living in a house with 4 young kids, my husband and I always try and set the right example for our young ones. This year, our kids being aged 8, down to 3, we decided to make some family resolutions, or goals if you will. We decided this weekend, since it will be bad weather to go anywhere, to take a few hours out of Saturday or Sunday and sort through everyones clothes, shoes and toys. Everything that is in good shape but will not be used in our house anymore for whatever reason will be given to the Salvation Army. We also decided to support a child from World Vision for $35.00 a month. And finally, we have decided to GO GREEN! I would like to start using eco-friendly cleaning products, and buying more organic foods. Of course we can’t be sure that anything these days is 100% organic but I figure I’m better off buying what they claim to be as ‘organic’ then what is sprayed with preservatives and various other chemicals. My question to you is, what kind of eco- friendly cleaning products should I use. Also, are their any other ideas/tips to share regarding the whole ‘going green’ theme with young children?
Much appreciated, happy new year!
Sounds like you are on the right track.
Rather than focusing on organic foods, I suggest you start with as many local foods as possible.
As for cleaning products, I think that would be a great thing for you and your kids to search online – there are lots of sites devoted to this.

You could have great family time making up some of the recipes.
And tons of other resources (Google is our friend….)
