Welcome to the GreenCupboards Community!

Join the Green Journey Bloggers (Green Granny, Lois, Conaer, and Jane) as they embark on a quest to “become greener” over 16 weeks. Their simple, inexpensive, everyday ideas will be posted on their blog feeds on the GreenCupboards Community.

GreenCupboards' four phases of becoming greener:
  • Education: Writers will learn green terms, create their own personal definitions, and understand the meaning and value of “going green."
  • Immersion: Writers will utilize their respective communities to field opinions on going green (both expert & non) to develop a personal stance on green topics.
  • Creation: Writers will create useful information and/or lists based on information from the first two phases focused on creating useful tools and lists for going green.
  • Reflection: Writers will reflect on the “big picture” of their green journey(s) and how they have affected change in themselves and in their surroundings.
