Welcome to Going Green. This is the place to promote all your green, sustainable, environmental, seasonal, local, organic, fair trade, ethical etc posts ... basically any post that helps or inspires readers to preserve and improve our beautiful world. If you are not sure what posts would be good or need some ideas have a look here where you'll find all the details about the linky >>> Going Green Linky.
Plastic Free July ... for Ever!
Last month was Plastic Free July where we are asked to choose to refuse single-use plastic during July. Did you take part ... and more importantly will you carry on reducing your plastic use now and for ever?! I was really pleased to hear that it got a mention in Radio 4's You and Yours (A UK national radio consumer programme) although the response from both the supermarkets, the British Retail Consortium and the British Plastics Federation were depressing to say the least. I will add a separate blog about what was said as soon as I can find a few minutes and add it to the linky.
A quick apology
If you have used my Going Green Badge any time since the linky began I am afraid the image has been replaced with a horrible "ransom" image from Photobucket, who had hosted the image for me. They are now demanding that if any of the images they host are used on blogs etc then we must pay €399 PER YEAR for the service. For me that is for ONE image and quite unacceptable. So I have uploaded the Going Green image elsewhere and altered the badge in the July linky and henceforth. Please do change the new badge if you want to.
My picks from Going Green July 2017
Thank you to everyone who linked up last month and it is lovely to see so many bloggers adding green posts - together we can spread our message far and wide! These are my favourite picks for July:
- Using a safety razor from Skip the Bag ... because Katy has inspired me to use one and I have lived to tell the tale!
- Have you heard of recycled paint? from Stephanie at Life at 139A ... we are hoping to finally get our small extension finished this year so will certainly look into eco-paint options
- Adopt a dog (even if you end up with a Ding Dong) from The Hungry Mountaineer - we are half looking for another dog and all our previous dogs have been rescues.
Going Green is a subject I believe in with a passion I hope, that with your help, this little linky will go from strength to strength. Please link up to 3 posts, old or new and let's work together to spread the word that Going Green is both important but also easy. Please promote the linky on all your social media channels and amongst all your friends. Thank you 💚.
Before you link up may I just remind you of 3 of the "rules":
- Link up a maximum of THREE posts - any more will be deleted (sorry)
- Please can you include my badge (preferably) or a link back to A Green and Rosie Life.
- This is a blog link so in order for us all to benefit please comment on a minimum of three other blogs in the link up, ideally including the one in front of you, one my host posts and one other ... the more you comment the more others are likely to visit your blog.
If you share your posts using the hashtag #GoingGreenLinky and I will RT you etc. I will also add posts with suitabe vertical pins to my Going Green Linky board on Pinterest.
