Great Resource I started out as a reader or Green and Clean Mom and have also worked with Sommer as a small business owner.
Sommer provides a down-to-earth voice for new and not-so-new greenies. I've enjoyed following her journey. In addition to providing a mom's perspective into trying out "shades of green," she...

Fishy goodness for cats and dogs My cats and dogs love Cat Man Doo Bonito Flakes. I love that they're good for both cats and dogs. The treats are 100% dried Bonito fish, with no additives, preservatives, coloring, etc.
Now, I must admit, I don't think they smell very pretty. It's not too overwhelming and it's not like the smell...

Dogs go crazy for these! I see a lot of dogs on any given day-- whether it's my own clients, neighbors, or at the dog park. I've never seen a dog turn down a Plato treat! One of my neighbors has a dog that's pretty fussy with food and treats, but now he whines when I see him because I had the Salmon strips on me the last...

Leaves a weird greasy film on my skin I've been trying various natural and nearly natural skin products over the years. I've also tried roughly one million unnatural ones in my lifetime. I have acne and I'm well into my adult years. I have yet to find anything that really makes a difference.
This cleanser is definitely NOT for me. I...

Great Shampoo and Conditioner Ok. Get ready for too much information...
I haven't had a haircut for over a year and a half! I tried to schedule three different appointments. I had to cancel twice and once they had to cancel. So here I am, a year and a half later, with really long hair. However, a couple weeks ago my neighbor...

Healthy treats for dogs. My dog LOVES Sam's Yams. They come in "Bichon Fries" for small dogs, Regular sized Veggie "Rawhide," and Big Boyz.
When I first gave her one, she sniffed it and seemed a bit confused. She left it for awhile and then came back and sniffed it again. A few minutes later, I picked it up and gave it to...

Healthy dog treats! Wet Noses has great dog treats. So far I've found that even picky dogs (one of my friend's and a couple of my client's dogs fall in this category) love the Peanut Butter and Molasses treats, which I believe is their original recipe.
Also of note, none of their products are involved with the...

Natural Dog and Cat Food It took a lot of research and a lot of sifting through shifty emails from pet food companies to find dry dog and cat food that does not include ingredients from China. Companies that I thought would be able to give me a straight answer could not do so. One company that I was really pulling for...

Feel good poo pickup! I love these dog bags! In addition to the eco-friendliness that makes me oh-so-happy, they are sturdy. I've never had a rip or tear. They even feel nice to the touch.
Also, they meet all standards for biodegradable and compostable. There are a LOT of bags on the market that claim to be...

No improvement. I hate to write bad reviews of what seem to be great earth friendly ideas, but this product did not work for us.
There was still water flowing through the drain, but not very quickly. After about 10 seconds, it was pooling in the tub. We tried this product and did not see any improvement at all...
loving my green cats and dog!

Mommy. Not totally green, but she's damn thrifty. We used to call conservation "I can't afford it."
