Seventh Generation Giveaway

When I think back almost two decades since I had my first child a lot has changed. I was younger and the world around us was just starting to think about how we can be more environmentally friendly. People were starting to recycle and there was talk about other green options. When it came to buying items for the home or for my family there really were no options. Things have really changed since then. 


Now we have options. Almost everything we do has a green version. Every home has recycle bins. Lots of families use energy efficiant appliances, buy products made from recycled items and often think about our carbon footprint.  It is so easy and more affordable than ever to make these choices. For my family I shop locally when it comes to produce, meat and many other items. Locally shopping means less packaging, less travel and less effects on the environment. When I have the option to purchase items for my home i always am looking for the green version.I think about the world my children will be parents in and how my decisions today can and will impact this. I teach my children to be aware of unnecessary waste and together as a family we are often out cleaning up our community. A few years ago my oldest son had to complete a science project for school. He chose to build a wind powered generator. This project was featured in our community and he even won an award.  Where we live now we see wind mills and solar panels every where and he is proud as am I that his project was so similar.
The first time I heard of environmentally friendly disposable diapers I was blown away. I personally never was a fan of cloth diapers. The concept is great and they look really cute, but they were just not for me. Now having the option in a disposable diaper is great. My little one only wears diapers to bed these days as she is potty trained during the day. It is not going to be long before she is done with them at night as well.  I am happy to be able to use a a "green" diaper in the meantime :)
