Your mom has taught you many lessons throughout your life and now it's your turn! Have fun with her while going green! I bet she'll love these ideas because what your mom wants the most is your time (well at least that's what my mom wants the most!).

Our top 5 ideas:
1. Begin Mother's Day with a fresh start at the farmers' market! You can get some delish organic fruits and veggies that are cheaper than your supermarket, and your food only traveled a few miles rather than hundreds (if not thousands) to get to you. You're also supporting your local farmers!
2. Get her a composting bin and start one together! She will not only save hundreds of pounds of scraps from going to landfills but she will also save a lot of money and will make her own fertilizer! How proud could you be of her?!
3. Show her how to cancel junk mail! Spend a few minutes on the net and save several hours in the future. (links above)
4. After lunch go for a hike with her. Going for a hike in a nearby park instead of a 45-minute workout on a treadmill will save nearly 2 pounds of the main greenhouse gas. It also helps you work out many more muscles compared to the flat treadmill, not to mention you’ll be breathing fresher air!
5. Every mom loves to pamper herself, by giving her a natural and organic skin care treatment you're pampering her safely! (link above)

Happy Mother's Day!
