being green is fun!!


alright everyone, who wants to save the earth!!! wow...i know that is huge heavy statement that is totally overwhelming but it doesn't have to be. it is all about the little things we do each day that can help improve the way we live and help the planet that we love oh so much.  what if we broke down that idea to something much smaller or tangible, like say the redwoods or your front yard? what can i do to help preserve them and keep them here for generations to enjoy? this idea is always on my mind and i want to do my part in helping. as an everyday bike rider i am already on the right path but i know there are other ways that i can help by making better decisions. several ladies are participating in this new little venture and you can to!

so many things effect our environment, fashion, being a huge one, food & design. we aren't here to preach anything but to show how easy it can be to be a bit more aware of what we can do to help. from fashion diy's & helpful green tips, we are here to make it fun and hopefully make a habit of making greener choices for everyday living.

if you are interested in learning more read this amazing article on the fashion industry and how "fast fashion" effects us and our environment. hope you are all on board for this fun new adventure. each week one of us will be doing a post and we will all be sharing the link to each ladies blog so that you can check it out! give me a shout out on how you feel about this. we would all love to hear back from you!
here are some of the other amazing ladies going on this fun adventure:
Hello! I'm Sarah and I blog about art, travel and adventures over at A Lost Feather. I spend as much time as possible outside hiking, bike riding and walking my little fluffball, Boo Radley. Among my favorite places to explore are the Hudson River Valley, near my home in New York, and Yosemite National Park. The great outdoors has given me so much happiness and I think it's time to return the favor. I hope that by participating in this awesome project I'll learn a lot more about different ways to be green. I'm also super excited to share fun and pretty green-friendly diys.. I hope you'll stay tuned and get ready to be more green!

Hi, I'm Lo of Little Somethings by Little Lo Hood, a place where I share adventures, amazing fellow Etsy owners, and crafts. I think that being green means helping and preserving our environment. I know that we can do this by recycling paper and bottles but more recently I've come to understand that "green" can encompass fashion as well. I started this project to help inform people on the many ways in becoming more green because my home state is Vermont and I am in love with its beautiful natural landscape and would love to keep it that way. This project has also turned into such an exciting and fun project especially since I am working with some amazing ladies who have fantastic ideas. We will be coming up with different DIY's and tips on becoming a little more green and we hope that you all will enjoy and maybe learn a little in the process. I'm looking forward to sharing with you lovelies a dress DIY...I love it so much! Here is a sneak peek:

 Hiya! I’m Shannon and I run the little blog shannon*bear. It’s all about my life, adventures, handmade lovelies and photography. Most of my adventures are in the woods. I grew up in the Blue Ridge Mountains where things move slowly and the trees talk. My very first memories are rich with the forests of my area, of my woods. I've always loved nature; it lends me the inspiration I need to create pretty things! My Mr. & I are always looking for ways to go green so we can add to the growing movement to preserve Mother Earth - and even closer to home, our mountains. I’m really excited to share with you a few of the ways that we put our green foot forward! So come on over, check things out, and leave inspired!
