ABOUT THIS BLOG

The purpose of this blog is to share information on "green living," which includes living in a healthy and nontoxic manner, as well as living in a way that is better for the environment.

Appropriate posts include questions about specific products or ingredients, where to find particular products, how to do or make something yourself, and any other aspect of living. You may also post anything on the subject you think would be of interest to readers, including data about health or environmental effects of products, products and websites you like and want to recommend, where to get good deals on purchasing green products, and the like. Please share your experience.

I personally will answer all the questions or invite other knowledgeable people to answer and I will review all the posts as they come in. I have created this blog so everyone can post and we can all learn from each other.
