My mother used coffee grounds and egg shells for her roses. I use recyled rain water for my garden. Thanks for this chance.
As a Green Mama I recycle, recycle, reuse and reduce what we use as much as possible and I’m teaching the kids to act responsibly in the same ways!
my own mom gardens, is very frugal and thrifty, reuses everything, used only cloth diapers and recycles…cooks from scratch..can’t imagine how much more green she could be, LOL!
Grow our own fruit, veggies and herbs :)
My mantra: recycle, reuse, renew!
reusing things, using cfl bulbs, conserving water, etc.
My green mama is a big reuser. She washes and reuses ziplocs, and she always brings reusuable bags to the grocery store. She also tries to buy products that use minimal packaging.
please enter me thank you
my green mama loves to garden and she recycles
my green mama has an organic vegetable garden!
My Green Mama recycles and volunteers by picking up trash from the road.

My green mama brings her own reusable bags when grocery shopping,tends to her garden and also recycles when she can!
She shops with a reusable bag so the plastic ones don’t end up in the garbage.
She makes Mother Earth a greener place by recycling and saving energy
My wife Lorie constantly recycles (she is always yelling at me if I forget). She has made me switch all our light bulbs to energy efficient bulbs and we no longer use our dish washer, we (or should I say she has ME) do dishes by hand. We also use green cleaners around the house for cleaning in the kitchen & bathroom. She also reuses the bags from the grocery store for packing material when sending gifts to the grandchildren up north (we live in FL).
She is a remarkable woman, and I love her dearly!
I recycle.
My Green Mama has switched most of the light bulbs in her house to energy saving ones. She uses reusable grocery bags, recycles and composts and tries to conserve gas by driving much less. She also has an HE front loader washing machine and never uses the dry cycle on our dishwasher. Thank you for the opportunity to participate in this giveaway!
My mom recycles everything that the city accepts. She’s also recently started her own compost.
I recycle cans and bottles.
My green mama has a green thumb so she not only plants, composts, and all that goes with it but she is teaching my kids (her grandchildren) how to do the same ensuring that the next generation knows how to make the world a little better too!
