Slip and you get back up

Sometimes the biggest challenge to your green efforts can be the occasional slip up. It can be so easy to just forget your cloth shopping bags at home, or use disposable dishes at work because you don't want to fuss with washing dishes in the bathroom sink. I've been there! The stress of daily life can make it hard to deviate
from your routine. But instead of beating yourself up about it, just take a deep breath and try again.

It really helps when you can find a product or service that makes it easier to be green. My new passion is to support small businesses and tech start-ups that have unique and ground-breaking ideas that are eco-friendly. These kinds of innovations are our future. To support the next big thing, check out openideo.com, kickstarter.com, indiegogo.com, and peerbackers.com.


Check out these stories to fuel your passion for green living!
