Thanks for posting all this great information in one place! Being new to your blog, this post gave me a chance to check out conversations I had missed, plus find really useful information. For example:

I have ordered reusable menstrual pads from Lola’s Loft on Etsy. I sympathize those who thought this idea was gross, but I think it’s really quite a natural way to experience your period and I’m glad to be trying them.

I loved your “Seven Evil Ways I Harm the Planet” post. I hadn’t realized that I was creating a stereotype of you in my head until I read this post. In fact, I almost didn’t read the post because I thought for sure your “sins” would be things like, “in 1976 I threw a recyclable can into the trash,” lol! Sorry, for making assumptions, and thanks for letting us know that really, you’re doing the same thing we’re all trying to do, take care of the earth as best we can. We all have our downfalls in this endeavor, and I think the fact that we can recognize and admit to these downfalls is the first step in turning them into strengths. I think people become discouraged from even starting to become more earth friendly because they know they can’t do it 100%. So it is good look at weaknesses as an opportunity for growth rather then a as barrier.

I appreciated the Seventh Generation dishwashing powder review post. My hubby and I are trying to find something that’s eco-friendly in the dishwasher. We’ve used Ecover and have found it to leave dirt and a film. I’ll try adding vinegar to the next wash and see if that helps.

I’ll use the eco-friendly kids rewards tips with my 14-year-old stepson, who is moving in with us in September to attend the high school his dad teaches at.

I got a lot of helpful info from the debate on coffee filters. I don’t drink it, but my hubby does everyday.

Great roundup, might be a good idea to do this on a regular basis if you don’t already!

Karen.
