EnviroMom.com launched in March 2007. It is a site for anyone who wants to live lightly on the planet. Whether you are just starting down the road to greener living or have been doing it for years, you'll find a supportive and respectful community of like-minded souls here. We subscribe to the 'baby-step' approach, which is the path we've both taken. Making lifestyle changes can't happen overnight, but it can happen over time with support and encouragement. That's what we want to provide. As we navigate these environmental waters ourselves, we hope that our readers will see that if two busy moms can do it, so can they.

About the co-founders: Heather Hawkins & Renee Limon

Heather and Renee are stay-at-home moms, best friends and neighbors who live in the Hillsdale neighborhood of SW Portland. They each have two children who happen to be the same ages (7 and 4) and attend the same schools. Renee and Heather both completed the Master Recycler course offered through Portland's regional government, which gave them a greater understanding of Reduce/Reuse/Recycle and how their choices and actions impact the natural environment. When they launched EnviroMom in March 2007, they formed their first GreenGroup -- a group of moms who meet monthly and exchange ideas on green living with children. They are not experts -- not by a long shot -- but they are trying to raise their kids to care about the environment and manage healthy households.
