When you're feeling a bit overwhelmed...

- You want to want to be more eco-friendly because you know it’s the right thing to do, but you don’t know what will actually have a positive impact on the environment versus what just feels good.
- With young children and a family, work responsibilities, and a home that are competing for your limited time and attention, you don't want yet another thing to add to your busy day.
- You want to use products that are more environmentally friendly, but how can you be sure what companies you can trust and if you can afford them?
I believe that switching to a more eco-friendly lifestyle can be enjoyable and even save you money.
It’s a journey, and there’s no right or wrong way to get there.
At Bev Goes Green, you’ll learn ways to create more eco-friendly habits for your home and family that won't break the bank!

I’m a mom of two little girls juggling carpools, playdates, a part-time job, a jewelry business, and this blog.
With limited time, I’m all about convenience and saving money, but I also recognize my girls are inheriting this world. I believe it’s my obligation to them and future generations to reduce the amount of waste my family creates.
I imagine a world where…
- we throw away one bag of garbage — or less! — per month
- we buy less stuff and mindfully dispose our homes of things that we don’t actually need
- we use products that are well-made and are meant to last instead of buying what’s cheap and disposable
- we spend our money on companies that align with our values
- our kids see us setting an example for them on how we treat the earth
Am I perfect? Heck no! Do I throw away things, drive even when I could walk or take a bus, and give my girls snack pouches? Yep.
But I’m making more of an effort to be a model for my children.
Every month I try to incorporate new habits. Sometimes it feels like it isn’t enough, but I truly believe everything we do adds up to have a major impact.
