Three R Thursday - 13 Of My Favorite Green Bloggers


There are lots of great green blogs out in the blogosphere. The following are some of my favorites and daily reads. I'm always finding inspiration from these women and look forward to reading about their latest challenges, finds or rants.

I'd love to add to my list. If you know of any green blogs I didn't mention (including your own), please let me know.

1.
Green Bean Dreams
Green Bean is a smart lady. I enjoy reading her posts, and I walk away a little smarter each time. She wrote a great post about
letting go that helped me gain a little perspective.

2.
OrganicMania
OrganicMania is your guide to making sense of healthy green living. She has done most of the leg work for you. I faithfully read all her posts pertaining to saving on
organic food.

3.
Mindful Momma
A thoughtfully written blog exploring what happens when we are more
mindful of the things we do.


4. Crunchy Domestic Goddess
She had me at the title of her blog. Amy is
passionate about natural childbirth, breastfeeding, cloth diapering, gentle discipline, recycling, green living, organic foods, informed health care decisions and other things considered crunchy/granola/earthy.

5.
GreenStyleMom
GreenStyleMom is down to earth and proves that eco-friendly living can be fun and stylish. Read about her co-housing experiences and check out what she does in her spare time.


6.
Crunchy Chicken
Crunchy is such a dedicated green blogger. It's hard to pin point a couple of things to highlight from her blog so I suggest you go over and read EVERYTHING. Okay, if everything is not realistic make sure you check out some of her challenges, book clubs and her
Goods 4 Girls program.

7.
Eco 'Burban
A witty blogger who is making practical steps towards going green in the suburbs one plastic bag at a time. Read about her
local summer challenge.

8.
Chile Chews
I'm new to Chile's blog and have been lurking for awhile. She has a great Quit Now Challenge going on now and recently held a Cut the Crap challenge to help motivate people to declutter their lives.


9.
Surely You Nest
MamaBird had mastered the combination of humor and green living. Read about the
green party she planned for her daughter's fifth birthday.

10.
Simple - Green - Frugal
I have learned a lot from SGF's blog. She is extremely practical and has great ideas for living a more simple, beautiful life. Be sure to read about her "
No Graze Days of Summer".

11. EnviroMom

EnviroMom is a great resource for green living. Even though it caters to locals in Portland, OR, I've found it very helpful and informative. Be sure to read about their
One Can a Month Challenge.

12. Fake Plastic Fish
Read the inspiring list of
plastic-free changes Beth has made. She is also leading the campaign for Clorox to take back and recycle Brita water filters.
