Graciously Green: Saving the Planet in Style

Like to do your ecological part, but just don’t think hemp wedding dresses are the way to go? Itinerant Tightwad and Wise Bread blogger Myscha Theriault knows you you feel. Her recent article on zero waste lunches gives a strong nod to the executives in the blogosphere who need take along solutions for their briefcase as well as their backpack. The piece shows how to set up your own kit that is streamlined enough to take to work in your business gear every day. She’s also put together a few other resources with a graciously green theme. The topics?

• Six simple strategies for green gifting.
• Four green gifts that keep on giving.
• When going green is classy.
• Buying local for a travel picnic somewhere fabulous. Think Pisa or Petra.

Another resource Myscha recommends is Sophie Uliano’s book Gorgeously Green, a thorough resource for women wanting to transition to ecologically responsible products without sacrificing style. For those involved in education, she’s also put together several articles for going green in the classroom you might want to check out. In the meantime, have a graciously green day!
