I am "Eco" Meg, a 40-something, married mom of two. Formerly a financial services professional, I have been a stay at home mom since my first child was born. After spending most of my life in big cities, I now live in what might be characterized as the countryside. This has been a bit of an adjustment!
I’m not a professional writer, I’m not a lifelong environmentalist, I’m not outdoorsy (though I’m beginning to surprise myself), and I don't consider myself very crunchy. I’ve been camping only once and hated it and I’m a recovering germophobe. Sure, my favorite color is green, but what qualifies me to blog about going green?
ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.
Except that it’s become a strong passion for me since my first child entered my life over five years ago. I don’t think I’m being dramatic by saying I’ve been transformed by my concern for my children. I now pay more attention to our diet, to the health and efficiency of our immediate environment, and to the impact we have on the world.
I chronicle here my adventures in going green. It’s a way for me to keep track of the things I’ve tried and learn from others how to do things better. And maybe I can inspire others to join me on this journey toward a healthier life - or at least provide some laughs!
Thanks for reading!
