An Earth Day Book Giveaway at Our Little House

Tomorrow is Earth Day and Jodi Helmer, author of “The Green Year,” is back with an insight­ful inter­view and to give away one of her books.

She also shares two tips with us that weren’t included in the book.

I’ve fea­tured “The Green Year” here before. I’ve had the book since it was pub­lished in 2008 and still rou­tinely look through it to get more tips on small things we can do at Our Little House.

Enjoy the inter­view and make sure to leave a com­ment at the end of this post by noon CST, on Monday April 25 to reg­is­ter to win a copy of the book. You also need to leave your email address so I may con­tact you if you win. I will also announce the win­ner on Tuesday’s post.

Happy Earth Day!
