See Green to Live Green! Blog about your top three eco-friendly tips for the chance to win cash!

Rating: 4.5 after 5 votes

Want to join the green movement, but aren’t sure how? Intimidated that you might need to turn your routine upside down to be more eco-friendly? Green living expert and mother of three, Beth Aldrich, encourages families to try little things to make a difference everyday and to look for products that work for them and the environment.

That’s why Beth’s teamed-up with Airwear® to invite other environmentally-conscious consumers to share their visions of a greener world. Airwear eyeglass lenses from Essilor are now made using environmentally conscious practices such as 100 percent recycled water, 100 percent recyclable packaging, and the company re-purposes unused materials in other industries. With these new, green practices Airwear is conserving millions of gallons of water and eliminating 570,000 pounds of plastic waste every year!

Going green can be as simple as buying eco-friendly products or shopping locally for produce – every little thing adds-up to make a sustainable impact on the environment as a whole. As Beth says, “How you treat yourself, your family and your home all add up to how we collectively take care of our planet.

CONTEST DETAILS:
Beth, Airwear and TwitterMoms want to know what you’re doing to green your routine!
