WalMart Earth Month Giveaway Package
Over the past few years I have made a much more concerted effort to “go green” in my daily lifestyle. Going green doesn’t mean you have to do a complete 180 and sell your car to start walking everywhere! You can do simple things each day to make your life more green and leave a much smaller imprint on the environment. I have started bringing reusable bags to the grocery store, buying organic and local products when I can, and using non-toxic, eco-friendly cleaning products. Before I was a mom, these things were important to me, but once I held my sweet baby girl in my arms, I realized how much more I wanted for her life, and how important it was to protect everything around us so that it would be here for her, and for her children. It might be cliche and cheesy, but hey, I never said I wasn’t those things! (I am most certainly both!)
I especially feel good about my decision to feed Little AG only organic milk, foods, and produce whenever possible. I am glad that I know exactly what she is getting, and I never have to worry about fillers or unnecessary additives. I also try to use only organic skincare and body products on her delicate skin (do you know that the things you put on your skin gets partially absorbed into your blood stream?) so that I can protect her however possible. I also shop for organic clothing, and yes, you CAN get stylish organic clothing!
WalMart is also celebrating Earth Month, and as one of their newest Eleven Moms, I’m so excited to bring you this special Earth Day Giveaway! This awesome package is valued at $130, and includes Tide Coldwater (helps you to save money on your energy bill!), A Brita Water Filter Pitcher, a Little Green Machine by Bissel, White Cloud’s “Green” Paper Towels, and a supply of Clorox’s Greenworks Eco-Frienly cleaning supplies!

I have been replacing light bulbs in our home, and have made a more conscious effort to unplug plugs when the items are not being used.
we use our own reusable shopping bags at the stores.
I am replacing my appliances with energy efficient models.
I recycle as much as I can and I car pool when possible.
I use GreenWorks products, they’re terrific!
We are recycling fools, and I would like to try work composting!!!
I recycle and use a stainless steel water bottle. We’ve also switch to reusable bags.
I’ve got all the members of my family composting all our kitchen scraps and garden waste. Not only does it cut down on our garbage, but it makes the best fertilizer for our garden! Thanks for the giveaway.
Sunlight during the day instead of lights just draw back the curtains… totes for all shopping..recycle
I’ve stopped buying napkins and paper towels. We use cleaning rags and cloth napkins now. I also use reusable shopping totes.
one way that i try going green is that try really hard to take a quick shower and when i brush my teeth i shut the water so it doesn’t just run. i really feel guilty wasting water. thanks
I’m trying to go “green” by using less plastic bags, I bring my own reuseable bags!
I subscribe via email.
Since I’ll soon be moving into my own place, this gift basket of green products will really help me to get started the right way! I try to buy recycled materials as often as possible, and lately I’ve started trying to buy eco-friendly cleaning products as well, although there isn’t enough variety in “green” products to be able to replace many of your old standbys.
We only buy gently used clothing at thrift stores, and donate to charities when things are no longer useful to us in our daily life. We also recycle and repurpose everything you can thing of.
I’m growing my own fruit, veggies and herbs
We recycle everything we can and I’ve replaced all our light bulbs with the low energy ones and we’ve been using more green cleaning products. This spring we are planting a veggie garden, so we can have fresh vegetables this summer. That’s a great giveaway for earth month, lots of really nice items, to help someone go green.
using cfl bulbs, conserving water and electricity, reusing things, etc.
I bought reusable shopping bags and use them at the grocery store, drug store, and at the library for toting books home
I use paper bags.
I am going to purchase reusable grocery totes, I’m using energy saving light bulbs, I’m also recycling clothing – some is sold, some goes to Goodwill, and others to my niece for her new baby.

i do the 3 R’s, reduce reuse and recycle. i try to do little things everyday to help. i treat every single day like it’s earth day since it’s a very important issue.
I have switched most of the light bulbs in my house to energy saving ones. I use reusable grocery bags, recycle and compost and try to conserve gas by driving much less. We also have an HE front loader washing machine and never use the dry cycle on our dishwasher. Thank you for the opportunity to participate in this giveaway!
We recycle cans and bottles.
I subscribed to your blog.
I’m being more proactive about recycling my water bottles.
