It’s amazing to me how much my attitude has changed in just the last few weeks about what it means to live my best life––my definition has expanded to include eating organic foods and wanting to “go green” in other areas of my life.

But I have so much still to learn!  I feel like every new thing I learn opens up six more questions.  For instance, I just recently learned that cotton is one of the biggest offenders when it comes to chemical pesticides and fertalizers––because it’s not a food crop, people dump all kinds of crap on it.

I know I can’t make all these changes at once, but sometimes it’s tough to know where to start.  That’s why I was excited to find Co-op America and their National Green Pages. There is so much information on this web site, I barely know where to begin––and I’m sure I’ve only scratched the surface––but the National Green Pages are “the nation’s only directory of screened and approved green businesses.”  Looking for an organic cotton t-shirt?  Now you know where to look.

Also?  I’m now dying to go to Co-op America’s Green Festival in Chicago at the end of April.   Anybody up for a road trip?
