Welcome

What is Slices of Green?

Slices of Green started out as a nice place to see plenty of luscious eco-objects for your home – from furniture to art to textiles to flowers to lighting and more. What can I say, I like pretty green goods. Then though, I realized this site didn’t really fit in with my actual ideals – which revolve around the premise that green living is for everyone, not just the filthy rich.

While I love gorgeous green goods, I like realistic prices too. Browsing blogs and sites for eco-goods, what I find, most often, are pieces that few green families can afford. There are reasons why green goods cost more that make real sense. However, what’s a normal, run-of-the-mill family to do if they’re dreaming of a green home, but don’t have a bottomless wallet to back up the lifestyle?

I certainly don’t have the rock-star wallet. I’m guessing most of you don’t either.

This blog is a place where real people (average, working folks) can get tips for greening their home on real-world salaries.

What you’ll find here…

Green goods for the home that don’t always break the bank.
Ideas about when to spend more on green home goods and when to cut back.
Tips for creating a greener, and still lovely home, but on a more average, less extravagant budget.

If you’re looking for general green living tips check out my family-minded eco-site Growing a Green Family.
