Smart Mama’s Green Guide Review and Giveaway

July 23, 2009 by Karissa  
Filed under Giveaways

THE SMART MAMA’S GREEN GUIDE delivers the information busy parents want and the tools to make informed, individual choices without the demand to go all-out green. Packed with practical tips on eliminating or reducing the hidden dangers of toxic chemicals that lurk everywhere, this book will empower readers to control what comes into their homes and make informed decisions instead of relying on government regulation of harmful chemicals.

Parents often feel overwhelmed and defenseless against a never-ending recall list of toys and baby products. Deciphering unpronounceable chemicals they encounter every day can be daunting if not impossible. With environmental exposures being closely linked to 70 percent of birth defects, new parents faced with the overwhelming responsibility for their babies’ health frequently turn to organic products. But they quickly find they don’t have the time to practice a completely green or natural lifestyle.

This book is so organiced and well prepared for someone feeling a little frantic about all the healthy, green, eco choices we are all faced with in today’s day and age. Although this is obviously geared towards mom’s and dad’s I think it really is a book for anyone trying to green up their home. It is so informative with chapters on pesticides, lead, kitchen and more!

It would make a great gift for a new mother, or for a mom that is looking for a new approach!

I have been given the chance to giveaway FIVE copies of this book! To enter, tell me one change you have made for your kids (or pets!), in the GREEN arena, or that you would need to make if you had kids.

    We have done lots of little things. Instead of most of the premade packaged foods for lunches we instead make it at home and put it in reusable containers. No more bottled water we use reusable water bottles as well. We recycle and we also walk or ride our bikes when we can instead of using the car

    First, thanks SO much for including pet parents as my fur babies are my kids! That said, I have done many green things for my pets. The two big ones are that I changed their clay cat litter over to pine litter and I also changed their diet over to all organic.
