In it's planning stages, SaveWithGreen started out
as a means to help conserve and save the earth. Since that
time, our understanding of what it means to "Go Green" has
evolved to encompass what we believe to be the "Green Way of
Life"...A holistic approach to living. With that in mind, we
set out to create a green living guide that not only
explains how to go green, but also makes "going
green" possible. This idea gave birth to our catch phrase,
"Save Money, Save the Earth, Save Yourself".
The "Save Money" part is important. Let's face it. Since the demand for green
products has been relatively low leading up to our
current times, the cost for green products has been
significantly higher than non-earth-friendly
products. We ourselves once shied away from certain
earth-friendly products because we simply could not
afford them! However, we soon realized that what we
truly could not afford losing was our precious
habitat here on Earth, not to mention our own
personal well being. We finally said enough was
enough, and we started doing research - lots and
lots of research! What we found out was that prices
for green products are coming down because the
demand is growing. Furthermore, what many people
fail to realize is that "going green" is a more
efficient way to live and ends up saving more
money in the long run.
The "Save the Earth" part is even more important. The threat of global warming has
sparked many individuals to start thinking along
"green" lines, and hence the current surge in
consciousness. Conserving and protecting the earth
has become a must in our current times.
The "Save Yourself" part is most important of all,
and goes hand-in-hand with saving the earth. This is
the basis of our Green Living Guide, which provides
a wealth of information on integrating all of the
principles of holistic and healthy living.
Being
committed to activism and unbiased research, we
pledge to always validate the information we share
on Savewithgreen.com for accuracy, and will never
recommend a green product if it does not meet our
high standards of sustainability and quality. In
regards to our green store and products directory,
we primarily look for companies that are organically
certified, fair trade certified and/or belong to
Co-op America. Above all, we look for businesses
that are committed to sustainability, social and
environmental activism and healthy lifestyles.
As for
our own business operations, our entire office and
computers use 100% wind powered electricity from the
Fenner Wind Farm in Madison County, New York
(Con-Edison) and 100% of our website hosting is
offset by energy certificates through Host Papa. And
whenever we do mailings, you can rest assured we use
100% post-consumer
recycled paper from Office Depot.
