I live in Indonesia, and I have to say that what you have done is great!!! It's really nice thing to know about people around the world trying to reduce waste and Go Green.. I wish everybody here in my country does the same. It's about organic food.. they are so expensive in here.. therefore you have to have loads of money to spend on that.. there are a lot of farmer's market though.. but they are not so comfortable to shop around, so many people in big cities like Capital Jakarta shop in big supermarket... Too bad for the farmers!! There've been Millions of Car bought everyday.. Traffic Jam everywhere.. As for me, I take public Transportation.. I hope there will be more people to save the earth.. Just wanna share my story.. I like your Blog :) Hey There Megan… I live in Indonesia, and I have to say that what you have done is great!!!

I am the business developer for OsoEco dot com. A web based social networking and sustainable product shopping site. We want to support the businesses who are making sustainable products and make it easier for people to find those products - wade through the green washing you mentioned and hear direct reports from people who rate and review the products. I know one challenge that I have faced in my own change process is the quality of certain sustainable products. I get extra upset if I pay more for say compostable garbage bags that start composting before I even take out the garbage. Yuck. Our site's full functionality isn't launched yet but please check us out - I'm sure others would be excited to read about your transition and in the future we will be looking for people with some experience and expertise to do product reviews etc. If you might be interested just let me know. All the best, Sherisa HI Megan,

This is something I've really felt the Lord impress on my heart, but I just don't know where to start, or where to draw the line (with expenses and how intense it will become in my life). Did your expenses go up b/c you were buying organic and eco-friendly items? That's honestly a big reason for me to be slow in this. I love in a not-so-green area of the country, so anything that is green can be very pricey, and we just can't afford that. Just wondering how much your expenses changed...

I am excited beyond words because our CEO will be on telling his story using safe, GREEN cleaners and then she has been using them and LOVES THEM too. I am so passionate about getting more people to make the switches in their homes. I love your ideas for SPring Cleaning. Hmmm oh my...maybe I might have to get into those hall closets. Ok. After all the Earth Day events that we're doing this weekend. Oprah is doing a show on Friday, April 20 ” Going Green 101″.

I have researched all the natural cleaning products and found Sun & Earth are the best, least expensive and found in the grocery stores. Sun & Earth manufactures in the U.S.A. and is a socially responsible company, meaning they belive in people, planet and profits.
