After overcoming a few technical challenges, we're very pleased to announce the launch of 30 Days to a Greener You, Green Options' e-course on greening the good life.

From the beginning, we've wanted Green Options to serve as a hub for "green newbies" — those people who are excited about the potential to live a more eco-friendly lifestyle, but who also aren't completely sure where to start. There's a lot of information out there, and trying to filter through it all can be daunting.

30 Days to a Greener You helps you do just that by presenting daily lessons and actions you can take that will help you lighten your environmental impact while still living a comfortable lifestyle. We start with the "low-hanging fruit" of easily-implemented changes, and progress to bigger decisions for you to consider. Throughout, we point you to authoritative information, and guide you through the process of integrating it into your life. By the end, you should not only feel better about your relationship with the natural environment, but also understand practices you can implement that should save you money in the long term.

We're pretty excited about 30 Days — we hope you are, too, and that you share it with family and friends looking for ways to "green the good life."

You can subscribe to the course in the box on top of the right sidebar on this page. Please send any questions or concerns to 30days@greenoptions.com.

Our own Kelli Best-Oliver asks:

Spring gardening is happening! Anyone have sustainable gardening tips?

We're sure you do, so give them to Kelli in the forum.

One thing I'm going to do this year (though not until April): plant buffalo grass in the back yard. It's a native prarie grass that's incredibly drought resistant, and requires little watering, fertilizing, etc. I'm not doing it until later because it's a summer growth grass…

OK, I've started… your turn! Of course, you can always check out our Lawn & Garden information in the Green Life Guide.
