Powered by Mom Blog is THRILLED to share this guest giveaway!

One lucky person will win a Green Works Products Gift Basket!

Thanks Mamacita La Cuponera for sharing this with us!

US Only

Clorox-Green-Works-1

Have you ever wondered whether or not you are green or maybe you’re getting close to being green or a certain shade of green? Many times when they hear this word we think that maybe we should be using products that are more eco-friendly. After all, caring for the environment is something important, something essential, because the environment provides us the very air we breathe.

We don’t have to take extreme measures to be greener, do what you can when you can and if you take a step here and there you will find it adds up and you’re greener than you think! After all we’re human, we make mistakes and we can only do the best we can do. I think that if everyone just a made little bit of effort it would make a big difference, small steps can help. We’re fairly green in our house but I admit we’re not 100% of the time, I forget, I make mistakes but I’m still proud of all that I do.

Clorox-Green-Works-2

 

Do what you can and here’s a great start look at some eco-friendly cleaning products. If you win this awesome giveaway that will get you started! Enter on the rafflecopter below and good luck!!

I’m Michelle aka Powered by Mom. I’m married with one daughter, my hubby was my high school sweetheart, our two dogs Nyx and Cleo and our cat Oliver. As you can see we’re a family of animal lovers. We love to travel when we can, try different food and activities all over the world and enjoy being together. My passions are writing, travelling, creating new recipes, encouraging people to adopt not shop and just to enjoy life while we can.

As an animal lover I also volunteer with a rescue organization called Three Little Pitties All Breed Rescue. I'm part of the cat program Three Little Kitties Saving Kitties which tries to save as many cats as possible in Houston, Texas which has a huge overpopulation fo cats and they euthanize far too many cats (and dogs) we want to change that.

    My biggest problem to becoming greener is some of the products cost a little more, but I now HAVE TO become “greener” because my cat is allergic to the “other” harsher products with nasty chemicals in them!

    I personally have found that trying to go green or even “organic” to be so much more expensive. Sadly, I have a really tight budget and spending even a few extra dollars here or there could mean not buying needed foods. While I do recycle I notice that many of the people in my neighborhood do not or only recycle a small amount. It is only my husband and me and I recycle about 1/2 of what we use and fill a large trash bin (recycle bin). How is it that some of these people who have kids only recycle a small amount? I don’t know. It infuriates me. I’ve gone to bringing and making my own bags to the market just to save that .5 per bag. In my house we use a lot of vinegar. I love it for cleaning with and use it in the wash as a natural softener. No, my clothes don’t smell like a salad when they come out. They smell……clean. Vinegar is cheap and goes a long way and is so versatile. Ok, I’m rambling on and will stop here even though I know I could keep on going. Thank you for the giveaway.

    Affordability- Some things are very easy to be green in; cleaning the house, recycling, etc. But when it comes to food and body products it becomes extremely expensive and maked it hard to stay on the green track.

    Our biggest problem with going green has been that our apartment complex doesn’t have easily accessible recycling. Thankfully our city passed a law that plastic bags will no longer be available starting March 1st. Everyone will be forced to use the reusable cloth bags. 🙂

    The biggest obstacle for me has to be the HUGE array of products calling themselves “green” but the only green thing about them is the flowery scent 🙂 I’ve pared down the vast majority of the chemicals coming into our house… vinegar and baking soda tend to be pretty fantastic for most things…but nothing beats green works for cleaning a tile floor!

    I have a ton of problems with going green. From trying to get my family to go green to the area I live in. I live in a rural area and trying to recycle here is nearly impossible. Making responsible choices when shopping isn’t easy either. There aren’t many places to shop and those places don’t seem very concerned with it either. I however do my best. I try to keep in mind what choices I make will do to the environment.

    My biggest problem is availability. We live in a very small town not anywhere near a large city and if you want something green you have to drive for hours to find it. Then when I find it, it is too costly or it takes magnifying glasses to read it and make sure it is actually green! We need better availability, less cost and easier verification!!
