Her Guide To Green started when I decided to make greener choices in my life. Although there is a plethora of information out there, I found that there was no centralized location where women, like myself, could go to find information on cleaning supplies, makeup, food, and more in one spot. As I came across tips and products, I wanted to share the information with the important, lovely women in my life, so that they too could make better decisions for themselves and Mother Earth.
I created Her Guide To Green to make it easy to take one step at a time, one product at a time, or one tip at a time. Every small step makes a difference, so it doesn’t matter how much, or how little you choose to do. So whether you decide to just turn the light off when you leave a room, or start composting in your apartment you are making our world a better place!
Every step you make inspires us! Share what you do to be green with us at contact@herguidetogreen.com.

Thank you for your efforts to create a resource for all of us women to become greener in our every day lives!
I like to think that I have been more conscience of my contribution to the green initiative. By doing this, my family recycles all cans and bottles, newspapers and all white paper. We also use recycled stationery and my daughter turned me onto a new dish washing liquid that is biodegradable. We only run our dishwasher when it is full, turn out all lights when we are not in a room, we use Dr. Bronner’s soap when we are at our boat, it is biodegradable and doesn’t hurt our bay waters. We do not bag our leaves and grass clippings, we mulch them back into our lawn and beds. We do not use bottled water, we use filtrated tap water, we do not use throw away cups, especially styrofoam, we rewash. We also use local produce as much as possible.
I also encourage coworkers to recycle at my company. At work we do all the above recycling and use a filtration system instead of expensive bottled water. At work we cut back significantly the printing on green bar paper and only print reports that are absolutely necessary using electronic reports as a way to save trees. We also use a pdf copier to cut back on making copies. I work at a newspaper and we also recycle all of our newsprint, we keep our carbon footprint very low.
I Swish clohtes on iSwish.co.nz
One of my green efforts is to swish clothes to avoid buying too much. I put good quality items back into circulation for others to enjoy while I get new clothes myself to enjoy without forking out lots of money. Everyone wins!
There is a new exciting website that is called iSwish.co.nz where you swish for FREE .
I have just gone through my spring wardrobe and tried on all my clothes – I will be using only about 20% of those items the rest I’ll swish for new ones.
Many of the items I didn’t even wear last season, wore impulse buys or just didn’t fit properly to start with. The good thing is that most of the items are still very good quality and fit to swish with others. – It makes my contribution to the waste fields much smaller and my wallet doesn’t get hit either…
Hope to swish with you at iSwish.CO.NZ soon!
Like you, my primary method of going green is by using my writing and my websites to try to encourage others.
