101 Tips for Living Green in Springfield

Hello all! I am the Springfield Moms Going Green Series Editor and am looking for your help! This Spring I would like to do a story on 101 Tips for Living Green in Springfield. What are you doing in your homes or workplaces to "Go Green?" We will be putting up a Going Green section to the forum soon but until then please post your tips here or email me at jen.dillman@insightbb.com. Everyone who offers a suggestion will be entered into our monthly prize drawing. Also, please check out the Going Green page http://www.springfieldmoms.org/resources/going_green.htm if you have not recently. We are constantly updating it and adding new things. If you have an idea for this page, let me know!

Thank you, and I can't wait to hear all your great ideas.

I found this great website that sells eco-friendly stationery and art supplies ... and ordered the color-your-own Valentines for an upcoming playgroup. They have TONS of options for holidays or everyday use ... just wanted to pass this along!
Also - I ordered the cards on Friday night ... and they arrived in Monday's mail - even though they were shipped from Portland!

Just found this neat looking book that I am going to look into more....
