Hi all! I hope everyone had a great week! While we were so happy to spend Rosh Hashana with family out of town, it’s great to be home and back on track with teensygreen.
On to some exciting news! I’m so thrilled to be a part of a new - the Mommy Go Green Blog Tour! The wonderful-ness that is Green & Clean Mom has organized this ingenious method of getting the word out about new eco-products we think you’ll all love! The best part is, there’s a great giveaway included.
The first MGG Blog Tour and giveaway is hosted by ecoBrain, a wonderful e-book library that provides “Green Books for Green Living”. ecoBrain has brought hundreds of green titles in one place, saving thousands of trees by simply reading books on your computer instead of purchasing them. ecoBrain features the latest green titles as well as classic books, including titles on the environment, sustainability, health and wellness, local green, virtually everything and anything that involves green living. Your first reaction may have been the same as mine - it’s tough for me to read books on my computer, so how can ebooks benefit me? But after checking out the site, I can honestly say I’m hooked on ecoBrain. There’s so much to I’ve already downloaded - cookbooks, gardening and nature guides, activities for my kids - and many more on my “to read” list. Many of the titles offer samples pages to preview, and if you sign up from now through November 1st (it’s free to sign up), you’ll receive a $5 credit towards your first ebook!
Onto the giveaway! ecoBrain and publisher New Society want you to win the ebook Radical Simplicity. Great title, right? Think about it - you may be recycling, composting, growing your own veggies and buying natural products. But, are you ready to take a step further? Is it possible, even “radical,” to truly live “simply” in this crazy day and age? Written by John Merkel, a former military engineer who quit his job after the Exxon Valdez disaster to pursue a balanced, more sustainable life, Radical Simplicity is part workbook, part memoir, and part pure inspiration. It provides practical tools to guide you through seemingly impossible changes, to not only help you reduce your ecological footprint, but help you truly get in touch with Mother Earth.
This giveaway will run for one week, through Sunday, October 12th at midnight, PST. Please leave a comment here with an answer to this question - what ecoBrain ebook peaks your interest the most? Good luck and happy reading!
