I’ve been swamped this week and got behind on my blog. However, I promised our listeners that I would post the resources mentioned during my guest appearance today on the live BlogTalkRadio show hosted by Animal Talk Naturally. For those who missed the show, you can listen anytime by clicking on the link above or on the blog title.
Before I list the resources, I’ll tell you what we talked about. This show ran for an hour, so I’m not going to try to do an full recap.
- What’s so important about living green?
- How does this directly affect our pets?
- What resources do you recommend for beginners?
- Where can we purchase healthy products for our homes and pets?
- Would you share your top five tips that will help us start living green?
- Can you list four or five benefits of living green?
- We hear people complain that living green is expensive. You say it can save money. Can you tell our audience how you came to that conclusion?
- Where can listeners get more information?
