Green Livin How Did You Go Green?


Green Living Habits, Hacks and How to Tips


If there's one thing the Internet is great for, it's pooling the collective wisdom of the masses. And if there's one thing we want to do at Green Livin, it's bring all that information together. Since Living Green means a lot of different things to a many different people, and since there are many different elements to the Green living lifestyle, we're asking readers to leave comments on what they have done to Live Green .

Do you flush your toilets with rainwater run off? Make your own biodiesel by recycling used cooking grease? Do you bring your own containers for takeout? Maybe you've just begun carrying a earth friendly shopping bag or have a garden to grow your own food. From simple to the extreme, we want to hear your comments, so we can share those with everyone. With enough comments I will do a post on the ways people are Living Green.


We're looking for all your tips! For example I have listed a few categories:


Green Living Habits

Things that you do to reduce your impact on the environment, like composting, recycling, or shopping at a thrift store.


Green Living Hacks

Have you made conversions to your house, vehicle, appliances, or other possessions to increase sustainability? If you've created a rain water collector, made your own solar water heater, I want to hear about it.


Green Living How To

Do you naturally lead your friends down the path of Green Living? Whether you're the average American, bicycle repairman, an eco-living expert, or an organic fiend, channel your inner teacher, and help bring your how-to tips to the world.


Ready, Set, Go Green !

Of course, lots of tips will fit into more than one category, don't worry about that. Here is one from myself, Green Livin founder Stephen Harrell. I have personally created my own wildlife habitat. Big or small, I want to hear your comments about what you are doing to help make a difference.


Instructions for Sharing your Tips:

Make a short and simple video 60 seconds long or less, and upload it to any video hosting site - Youtube, Flickr, etc.

Title your video with Green Livin Green Tips: (provide a short explanation of your tip). For example "Green Livin Green Tips: How-to Make your own cleaning supplies".
