I have a vegetable garden
I, a green mama use solar to heat my home and pool to make Mother Earth a greener place.
My mom recycles everything and reuses just about anything she can, plasic zip lock baggies, tin foil..
I’m a Creature of Comfort Mama and would love these pajamas. I like the robe on their site too.
I recyle as much as I can and give away things I no longer need to others in need. I try and use both sides of the paper from the printer for making grocery list, coloring paper, notes, etc. I also grow a veggie garden and share with the neighbors.
Thank you for the very nice giveaway.
We just made a compost bin! I also use a clothesline.

Recycling and not using pesticides.
We just started composting, using recycleable grocery bags and unplugging things we don;t use often. Thanks for the chance.
She taught me to take care of your body you only get one-so treat it well. Eat good foods, get both physically and mental exercise and always remember your emotions affect your health as well.

I recycle fanatically, I use reusable bags ALL the time, I use the curly light bulbs, make my own green cleaners, organize my errands to use the least amount of gas, and do all my laundry at one time to save dryer energy.
My mom plants her own garden and has recycled for years
Yes we recycle and use natual cleaners
Our ‘green mama’ is the household director/CEO of the “REUSE IT OR LOSE IT” theme we came up with to promote our collective eco-friendly efforts as a family. ;)
My mom rides her bike to run errands!
My mom recycles everything and has a compost.
I added you to my website justinkilledawesome.com
We recycle religiously and have always carried our own bags, even before it was fashionable! My next goal is to learn how to can, so I can preserve my garden’s bounty without leaning on a freezer.
My green mama gardens and fertilizes with compost she gathers from her kitchen scraps. Thanks!
My mother has passed, so I’m going to write about my daughter (who’s mom to my granddaughters). DD has been practicing Earth Day Every Day for many years now. She recycles, reuses, composts, gardens, and generally does everything she can to be ecologically aware and supportive.
My mom is using reusable shopping bags and she recycles
My green mama is the ultimate recycler. She’s not much of a consumer. She’s very good at using things until there’s nothing left of them. I think it’s because she grew up during the Great Depression.
My mom’s been a recyclera & composter since the 80s!
We are growing our own vegetables.
My Mom loves growing her own vegetables and she also composts! Thanks!
She has a great garden!
We donate all old clothing,books,furniture to a local charity. Currently use green works cleaning products. Take our own bags to shop with. Try to conserve gas by walking to do local errands/shopping.
My mom has always been green. She gardens, hangs her clothes out to dry and cleans with vinegar and baking soda.

My mother has been doing green for a very long time, she grew up when times were very hard and they learned to save, reuse, and compost for their own food to grow to feed them.
My mother fed 7 children on a paupers income.
Happy Mothers Day to All
My green mama uses a programmable thermostat!
Thanks
She shops w/ a reusable bag and eliminates the waste of more plastic ones.. those things are the bane of her (and my!) existence!!
My mom gardens and is a big recycler!
I love their outdoor clothes line dryer. I don’t own a dryer, and always hang my clothes out to dry, and in the winter I use wooden racks for drying. I use my own totes for groceries, recycle plastics and papers and have start a compost pile.
I use natural products and also organic foods.
my green mama brings her own reusable bags when she goes shopping…and she has now extended that to the mall as well as the grocery store.
Visited Gaiam and liked the “give back” tee! My mama uses reusable shopping totes to help save the earth!
great giveaway
my mother always taught me to respect nature & that has instilled in me greater love for the earth than anything else!
my green mom composts
My green mama takes her own bags to the grocery store and she tries to buy only recycled and biodegradable products. She has really been an inspiration to me and my sisters!
we recycle plastics and papers.
Every since becoming a momma, I have been switching my lifestyle choices for the sake of my new babe. We use cloth diapers, make our own baby food, recycle (almost everything), compost, use non toxic cleaning products & body products, and carry reusable bags everywhere. I heard a quote about “borrowing the earth from our children” and it really rings true. :)
She recycles everything possible, its amazing.
My green mom unplugs all unused appliances, and recycle’s cans. The lounge set is lovely.
we recycle, wrapped our water heater and put it on a timer, put in a garden and compost pile
My mama Recycle, reuse and re-purpose things at her tender age of 81.
