Greening One Purchase at a Time

BeGreenMinded.com is all about incremental green changes in your life so what better time to start planning a few small changes than right before the New Year? Today I’m going to show you a great place for you to go when you are ready to make one of those small changes in your purchasing habits.

Make a resolution to purchase a greener alternative when you need to buy a new bottle of cleaners, cosmetics, or any other product.

As eco-friendly products have come to the marketplace in full force over the last few years, you may be wondering which ones work well and what ingredients to look for. Fear not, the Green Guide is here to help. Among a wealth of websites that certify, test, and advocate for products, the Green Guide’s Product Guide (operated by National Geographic) educates readers about materials, additives and chemicals in products to help consumers make educated decisions.

Thinking of purchasing more than just cleaners or cosmetics? Green Guide is also a great place to learn more about paper goods, food, bedding, and even clothing. For those seeking a place to start greening elements of their life, it’s a great resource. Use it as a starting guide to begin your transformation.

I am a professional environmental advocate in Washington, DC who gets giddy over new environmentally-friendly products. I love to travel and am always looking for new ways to reduce my own carbon footprint. I also enjoy politics and collect political and campaign swag!
