I participated in a campaign on behalf of Mom Central Consulting for Green Works. I received a product sample to facilitate my review and promotional item as a thank you for participating.
I guess it started when I had my second child. I started to really think about how we recycled and what we could to do to better at it. I started thinking about how we cleaned and how we could clean more natural. One of my earliest giveaways was a green cleaner. I loved how it worked and I vowed to start cleaning more green. And living more green. I stopped buying paper napkins and made my own. I stopped using as many paper towels and use washcloths instead.
We recycle everything we are allowed to recycle. Our recycle container outweighs our trash can. We started teaching our children young what they can and can not recycle. Here is a picture of my daughter at 2 dinog her part and taking out the recycling bins.
I love that my children know how to recycle and reuse items. My daughter has never known to grab a paper towel to wipe up a mess, she grabs a towel that we will wash and re-use. For the holidays and birthdays I use recycled boxes from the mail. I’d rather use them to wrap gifts in then buy boxes. I also save the brown paper that comes in shipping boxes and I press it out, sometimes iron it and then stamp it to make a lovely gift.
One thing that we use to do and don’t is composting. I had made my own bin out of a Rubbermaid bin but that didn’t work as well as I would have liked. I do want to get a bin that I can turn. I know I can get one for around $100.
I love knowing that the cleaners I use are not harmful to my children and family. Green Works is one of my favorites! I feel comfortable with my daughter cleaning the shower or the glass windows. I know that she is not breathing in harmful chemicals. And she has fun cleaning!

So how can you play?
* Make sure to follow @greenworksclean on Pinterest and create one board titled GreenWorks Games.
* Then look for one of the GreenWorks Games. They have a word search, word unscramble or complete a word. Once you find a word, search Pinterest for that word and choose a photo that fits and makes sense to you! Natural will have a different meaning to many people. Pin the photo to your board with the “word” and #greenworksgames
See an example here: http://bit.ly/1f82jss
* Additional information on how to play can be found here: http://bit.ly/19f0N1u
Please pin a minimum of five images to your board.
