Several months ago a group of very cool women decided to gather and be a collective voice on topics related to green.
Green Mom’s Carnival was born.
In its infancy I personally knew only a few of these ladies, yet as this group has bonded and grown, I have come to know many of them much more and find myself incredibly privileged to be blogging together.
They are a true inspiration, a force of female green, a sector not to be messed with.
They foster informed choice, change and saving the planet. One mom at a time.
As I have gathered these posts and read each and every one of them I am deeply touched by their thoughtful and heartfelt musings about this month’s topic
Now readers, before you completely balk at the volume of commentary here…
Pause.
Get yourself a cup of tea and settle in.
This is like sitting in your favorite chair with a really great book
Read, ponder, learn, hit the back button and read some more.
Don’t forget to chime into the conversation. Nothing compliments a blogger more than a comment.
Look forward to a rich, thoughtful and truly wonderful expressions of gratitude and our favorite greennesses.
P.S. If you like a particular point of view please consider adding any of all of these sites to your favorites. Better yet subscribe! Feel free to share this collective expression with those you know.

Karen, you did such a wonderful job of summarizing the carnival! Thank you, thank you! Now if in the “chaos of my everyday life” I only had time for tea….maybe when I’m watching the election results come in!
