GREEN LIVING

Posted on at


Lisa Sharp – Retro Housewife Goes Green – Oklahoma doesn’t seem like the most obvious place to find a green activist, but it’s home to Lisa Sharp, whose visible passion is all things environmental. Her blog is part reading-a-letter-from-a-friend and part rad giveaways consisting of things us greenies truly love. Kelly Drennan (aka Ecofashionista) – Fashion Takes Action – When Kelly Drennan started her campaign, there weren’t any great resources for the sustainability movement in the fashion industry. She quickly changed all that by providing a fashionable view on greening up the industry, and lots of ideas, explanations, and community for us laywomen. Manda Aufochs Gillespie – The Green Mama – Manda’s blog posts are always so great to read, because she’s not a hysterical greeniac. She’s not the kind of person who flails and hollers about our impending doom because of antibiotic-filled meat. No, Manda’s Green Mama blog is full of practical and friendly advice for how to be a better ecophile. No judgement, just good green juju. Siel Ju – Green LA Girl – Siel is an environmental writer and an activist, and although her blog is called Green LA Girl, I think it’s applicable to any sagacious lady trying to navigate an urban landscape. She’s inventive and adventurous, trying new recipes and reporting on them, reading and reviewing books, and bringing honest dispatches from a woman trying to live mindfully. Beth Terry – My Plastic-free Life – Back in 2007, Beth set out on a mission to de-plasticize her life, mindfully and methodically. Now she’s down to a mere fraction of what the average American consumes in plastic products, and her blog is a thorough resource for testing and helping the rest of us find solid plastic alternatives. Karen Lee – Ecokaren – As a former Chiropractor, Karen has already made the connection between a healthy environment and a healthy body, so helping us all navigate the eco-friendly lifestyle is really just something she does out of benevolence. From recipes, to how-to’s, to giveaways, Karen makes being eco-friendly seem attainable.
