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.

  1. 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!

  2. The only paper product I buy is toilet paper. I use rags for cleaning and wash them . Vinegar,peroxide and hot water work well for cleaning.

  3. LOL That was a funny video! Aside from cost (I know there are those out there that aren't that expensive), knowing what is and isn't green and having to read labels! Oh and knowing what our city will and won't recycle...they are really weird about it!

  4. My family's 2 biggest obstacles are probably time and money. It takes alot of time to stay on a green plan all of the time, but any little thing that you can do is never too small.

  5. 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.

  6. My biggest challenge in becoming more green is affording some of the green products, such as organic produce and cleaning supplies. I have a large family, and sometimes organic/green is just not feasible.

  7. 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.

  8. 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. 🙂

    Reply
  9. Our family hasn't had too much trouble being more green.... sometimes the organic food and items cost more, so that can pose a problem at times. I don't usually find coupons for a lot of organic/green items either.

    Reply
  10. 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!

  11. Money is my issue to going green. It seems like everything that is good for the environment costs more. For a single mom this is a very important thing.

    Reply
  12. My biggest problem with going green is the higher prices. It really isn't THAT much more so I should be able to rationalize but it's still hard when I live a bargain.

    Reply
  13. 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.

  14. The hardest thing for me is brining he bottles back to machine to get the nickels. It's a pain. In our state that is what you have to do.

    Reply
  15. I try to be green, but it's difficult to get family members to participate. I do use my own tote bags when shopping; FYI-Target offers a discount for every reusable bag you use when you shop there [wish other retailers would follow suit!!!! ].

    Reply
  16. Finding organic produce - the closest store for organic produce is 20 miles from my house. That kind of defeats the purpose.

    Reply
  17. My biggest obstacle is the price, and also the learning curve on what is truly green, and what is just advertised as being "green".

    Reply
  18. 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!!

    • Susan for cleaning check out the Shaklee Basic H2 not expensive $11 for the bottle and I'm only halfway through our bottle after 1 year, we use it a lot!

      Reply
  19. The extensive research involved in knowing if something is in fact really green or not is very daunting. If you are going to pay more then you really want to get what you are paying for.

    Reply
  20. sometimes being green doesnt cut it, meaning it doesnt make things disinfected or white/clean. ive used the combo of baking soda and vinegar for drains and clean bathrooms but end up resorting back to the regular harsh chemicals to finish the job

    Reply
  21. I can't think of any problems being green. We compost, recycle. Biggest problem I can think of is that I don't always remember to bring my reusable bags with me when shopping.

    Reply
  22. being green is difficult but its worth it. being a mom and knowing im doing something for mine and my sons future makes me feel better.
