There's green parenting advice pretty much everywhere you click in the blogosphere these days, but here in Portland it's been taken a step further - natch! So if you're interested in doing more than just reading about being green, check out the newly formed Portland Green Parenting group. It's a membership group ($10 to join) with a private forum to share info, take classes (yup, you too can brew kombucha and make your own green cleaning products!), buy bulk food, do the potluck thing, and more.
Looks like a cool opportunity to create community and be a whole lot greener, right here at home. Not just in the blogospehre! Here's how they describe themselves:
Portland Green Parenting formed in October 2007 after Rebecca and her family relocated to Portland, Oregon. Today, we are a community of over 100 families in the greater Portland area who have come together to grow as parents and educate ourselves on how to raise happier, healthier children who care for our environment and each other while making new friends and having fun!
Anyone already a member? Got feedback to share?
I have been a member of Portland Green Parenting for several months now and I love it! It is a great opportunity for my son to attend activities with other kids and it has been a lifesafer for me to connect with other moms who parent in similar ways as I do. The forum is so inspirational and educational. There is a great community in the PGP group that you just don't find in many other online or in-person parenting groups.
