The Green Restaurant Association (GRA) began in 1990 to help restaurants convert their establishments into eco - friendly and sustainable businesses. Members must agree to follow a set of environmental guidelines including the use of green power, sustainable food, chlorine free paper products and recycling and composting programs. Although there are only about 200 members right now, I thought it was a neat idea. There aren't any GRA approved restaurants in our area (Santa Rosa) yet but there may be in the future. If you are ever traveling out of the area, it may be fun to see if one of these eco - restaurants is near your vacation destination and try it out.

Welcome Visitors!

If you're reading for the first time, it may feel a bit like you've just walked into a conversation that has been going on for awhile.

So to catch you up...

Jennifer started this blog because she was going through the process of becoming more conscious of her lifestyle choices and had decided to "go green". As she talked to her friends she quickly realized that she was not the only one interested in making changes. The blog was born. We used this as a place to discuss things we've tried and to support each other in the journey.
