Our book club selection for June was Girls Gone Green by Lynn Hirshfield. Many of you said you were planning to share this book with the young girls in your life, and a few of you also shared ways in which you've gone green! Check it out:

From Karen:

"I have been trying to be green for a long time...I bought a sewing machine on sale so I could make my own cloth, reusable bags...the cloth bags I have already made are so nice to use...so much better than plastic bags and more durable...I am always trying to find ways to be more green...waste not want not...that is my motto."

From Kat:

"I had Styrofoam banned from my school district when I was in the 6th grade. My daughter started a recycling program at her school that raises more and more money each year to help the school be more green. I even received a phone call today to help a local preschool start a green program there. I think it's great she [Lynn Hirshfield] did this book to get young girls, boys, etc. involved with becoming more green."

From Krystal:

"I read the book at my local library. It's definitely a book for young girls and it is inspiring to see them take charge and fight for what they believe in. Sometimes I wonder with the Internet, phones, video games and other distractions, if young people actually care what is going on around them. This book gives me hope that they do."

I'm so glad you all enjoyed Girls Gone Green, and if you haven't yet, I highly encourage you to give it to the kids in your life! I wish we could get this book into the hands of all young people, especially to inspire those who might not know about a green lifestyle. If your kids read this book, please have them post a comment!

Stay tuned for our July selection - I'll be posting it next week!

How have you 'gone green'?
