Our featured blog, this month, is Green Global Travel. Co-Founders, Bret & Mary, love to travel. Unlike many tourists, however, they are passionate about trips designed to protect nature and wildlife. They travel in ways which encourage sustainable practices and benefit local indigenous cultures. Readers will find fabulous photos and accounts of their trips to places such as Jordan, Brazil, Tonga, and Nepal. Closer to home they have explored the John Muir Trail in California, nature attractions in Kauai, and (one of my favorites) green restaurants in Asheville. They discuss Eco-friendly accommodations, activities, and even offer their thoughts on so-called environmental tours like swimming with the Dolphins (which, by the way, are bad for these amazing animals). Each post is well-written and offers readers information about how travel can be an important tool in protecting the environment. Green Global Travel is a terrific resource for those planning a trip, thrilling for those who wish to take a virtual vacation, and educational for those who want to preserve nature. I hope you'll stop by and visit ... I think you'll enjoy your stay!

Please meet Deborah and her fabulous blog, Urban Naturale. Do you love great recipes, practical tips on green living, and ideas for maintaining health? Perhaps you are looking for creative inspiration, while maintaining an Eco-friendly life ... or you enjoy do-it-yourself projects around the house. Urban Naturale offers this information and more. On Earth Day, Deborah shared 21 easy way to go green. Each suggestion, like #7 about combining shopping trips, has the added benefit of saving us money. One of my favorite sections is under the tab "Doing Good". Deborah takes green living a step further by making our actions not only count for the environment, but for others as well. For example, in a recent post entitled Help Mom “Chill” with Mother’s Day Gifts That Change Lives, readers are encouraged to buy Mother's Day gifts which are fair trade and Eco-friendly, and which are made by women who are struggling to support their families. Brilliant! In addition to great articles, one will find a couple of fun link-ups, Healthy, Happy, Green & Natural Party Blog Hop and Plant Based Potluck Party Link Up. Urban Naturale's content is timely and informative, but what makes this blog truly special is Deborah's enthusiasm and positive outlook. She helps readers feel joyful about walking gently on the earth.

I am not a parent. But, I've visited enough blogs to know that choosing safe, Eco-friendly products for children is often a real challenge. EcoFriendly Baby Products helps meet that challenge by offering clothing, toys, bottles, strollers, etc. which are safe for your child and the environment. Each item comes with an "Eco Cred" ... a list of reasons why the product is considered "green". The "Product Details" section offers information about how the item can be used, whether it's machine washable, what others have said about it, etc. It's a great site for those with children or those who buy gifts for children. Check out EcoFriendly Baby Products and, simply for visiting, you can get their free ebook about keeping your baby toxin-free. It might be about babies but the information is valuable for everyone!

This week, you may post 1 link. It can be your blog, a social network page, a site where you sell Eco-friendly products or services ... basically any site as long as it is Eco-friendly.
