30 Days to Natural

Green Works, natural cleaners with ingredients that come from renewable resources, that are biodegradable and free of petrochemicalscreated, started the 30 Days to Natural website, which is devoted to providing practical tips for households at all stages of greenness. I would like to be more earth-friendly when I am using products to clean my home, and I am anxious to try the Green Works products!

Whether recycling additional items, using eco-friendly cleaners, or walking to the store once a week instead of driving, the 30 Days to Natural website offers suggestions to take just a few additional, easy steps every day. a great way to receive suggestions on becoming a greener family!

The 30 Days to Natural website offers mobile tips (daily tips sent to your mobile phone), e-mail tips, and a Kitchen Check List. All of these are great, and helpful reminders on what we can do to be a more natural household, that is more earth-friendly.

I think this site is a great tool with educating ourselves on how to make our world a cleaner place, and safer without the harsh chemicals.

The Responsibility Project

Having responsible kids is important to me. I hope that I can teach them the tools needed to be responsible! I have been introduced, thanks to MomCentral, to Liberty Mutual's new Responsibility Project, and I think that this is a good site for parents and kids to see ways that responsibility can be used.

The Responsibility Project -is a resource that can help parents talk with their kids about personal responsibility in a meaningful way. Liberty Mutual's has had recent commercials based on the concept of "pay-it-forward" - someone who sees another person participating in an act of kindness and is inspired to do the same for a stranger. Liberty Mutual received an overwhelming reaction from viewers moved by this simple idea, and in response created an entire website devoted to the idea of defining and discussing this elusive but important quality. The site includes resources such as short films, discussion guides, and a blog to help families teach and talk about personal responsibility.

There are several films to watch, and here is one that I thought was fun to talk with and watch with younger kids: Hot Seat film . Not really any words, but it gets a point across about being responsible, and taking an initiative to make things right. Some of it is funny. The Lighthouse was a good short film about neighbors helping those in need. Team work is a great thing for kids to learn!
I think that The Responsibility Project is a good site for parents and kids to check out. I hope that they come up with even more short films.
