Welcome to the Green Resolution Giveaway Hop, hosted by Happy Mothering, Easy Green Mom and Brittleby’s Corner through the Green Moms Network! This great group of green blogs wants to help you make resolutions to live a more eco-friendly and healthy life this year! At the bottom of this post is a list of other blogs offering great prizes and a super grand prize that you can enter by clicking on those links and following the directions.
Self-Counsel Press has decided to expand into Green living, and to celebrate, they are giving away a set of the first three books in their green reference series right here on our blog! These books are Greening Your Home: Successful Eco-Renovation Strategies, Greening Your Office: Strategies That Work, and Greening Your Boat: A Successful Year-Round Plan. We have all three to give away, and you can read our review of the of the Greening Your Home book here. Since neither of us has actively owned a boat in over 25 years, we really didn’t feel qualified to review the Greening Your Boat book – but you can still win it!

This year I will be making my own homemade cleaners and using more essential oils.
Instead of wrapping paper, I am going to knit a cover for smaller items.
We’re cutting down on the amount of packaging we consume!
We are always trying to use less water, electricity
I’d like to use less electricity and water. Also, I want to get healthier myself by going to spin classes.
I am planning to garden a lot more this year and I want to set rain barrels on my house as well.
I plan on using less water in my showers.
I am going to use less water in my garden by changing how I place the hoses.
I am hoping that our family recycles everything we possibly can. We now have three recycling bins, one for bottles and cans, one for newspapers, and one for cardboard. We no longer buy water or anything else in plastic bottle because we each have bottles that we can take our water or whatever beverage we want with us. We also make sure we never go shopping without our own bag so that we do us any plastic bags from the grocery or department stores.
I plan to set up a humanure composting toilet.
We are already doing laundry detergent, sheets, hair and beauty products, clothing, household items.
I’d like to switch some of our toxic kitchen cleaning supplies to greener options!
I’ve been slowly transitioning to LED bulbs in my house… those dang things sure are expensive, but it’s insane how much light they put out compared to how little electricity they use! Plus they last like 10 years or more. Can’t beat that.
