Going green for St.Patrick’s Day

In honor of St.Patrick’s day I wanted to bring you the top 10 list of some “green” products, ideas and projects.

5. The Green Guide

The Green Guide by National Geographic is your one stop shop for reviews on environmentally friendly products. They have reviews on everything from food containers to televisions. They rate products, explain labels and even have a green travel guide. Link: The Green Guide.

4. Green Roofs

This is a spectacular “Green Roof”. These roofs help insulate buildings, reducing the need for air conditioning. They also reduce storm water runoff and create a home for birds and small wildlife. Green roofs also last exponentially longer than average roof material. Read the whole article: Green Roofs

3. Re-Nesting

We all want to make our lives a little more green, but sometimes when it comes to our homes we think it will be too expensive or more work than it’s ultimately worth. Re-nest offers great advice for re-using old items in fashionable and eco-friendly ways. Visit their site here: Re-Nest 

3. Organic Gardening

Nothing tastes better than fruits, vegetables and herbs raised in your own garden. If you’re anything like me though, you’ll need a little extra help getting started. Whether you want to plant trees or house plants, organicgardening.com has a solution to your gardening problems. Visit their website here: Organic Gardening

1. Etsy

Reducing factory waste and buying hand-made can help reduce factory waste and support small business. You can also look pretty cool at the same time! Etsy is an online community for hand made goods of all kinds. Check them out: Etsy
