Earth Month is in full swing, anywhere and everywhere you look. And of course, there are contests, prizes, giveaways, etc. to  Brita and Filter For Good wants you to throw your two green cents in with a question and a meme - “How will you FilterForGood this Earth Month?” Your answers to that question can win you some great prizes!

Blake Killian, one of my fellow bloggers over at FilterForGood, tagged me in this meme. So, how will I FilterForGood? Ok, here goes -

*Gardening! My kids have been gardening fools this year, both at home and school. I’d love to continue this, and even try to step it up by growing veggies we can eat and share.

*Bringing green to my daughter’s schools - next week, I’ll be helping the Kindergarten classes with their Earth Day sculptures made from recycled materials parents were asked to bring in. I’d like to take things further in the coming school year with even more eco-educational opportunities, activities and green conservation efforts in our community!

*Going local - there are two new farmer’s markets in our area, hooray! I’m going to be very conscious about where I buy my produce, as well as encourage friends to do the same.

*Read green - I’m truly amazed, and proud, of all the eco-literature being published. This year, I’m going to build my green library beyond home and parenting guides, and read more about economic and social practices around the world.

*Give back - Although times are tough, we always try to give back a little bit to charities big and small. I hope we can continue these efforts in the future!

Now that you’ve read my ideas, how about yours? The rules are simple for this meme. If you’re tagged, post five things you plan to do for the environment this Earth Month on your blog. At the end of your list, tag five of your favorite blogs, and include a link back to this post using the hyperlinked text “FilterForGood Blog Meme Contest.” Let them know they’ve been tagged by leaving a comment on their blogs, or on their Twitter accounts (using the hash tag #FFGBlogMeme). Also, be sure to include these rules at the bottom of your post.

I’m tagging Adam Berg from Earth Promise; Sommer from Green and Clean Mom; my favorite local greenie, Tara Burner; Beth at Petite Planet; and, Micaela the Mindful Momma.

Here’s an added bonus! At the end of Earth Month, FilterForGood will choose a few lucky bloggers who posted their five things to win some Brita gift packs to help you go green! Be sure you link back to the original meme post [http://www.filterforgood.com/blog/?p=1407] to enter the contest! Good luck, and Happy Earth Day!
