Part of a series featuring green moms, the new Chief Eco Officers.

Sommer Poquette’s Green & Clean Mom blog, where “going green is sexy, sassy and fun,” is for the average mom doing her best to be some shade of green everyday.

How do you eco?

I try to help moms and companies go green. I offer suggestions, tips, product reviews and features to help people learn about how going green can be fun. I write from mom’s points of view but it applies to any person wanting to go eco. I lend marketing and consulting support to companies and individuals who want to go green My idea is to motivate, inspire, encourage and learn from one another.

Why did you go eco?

One day, I realized that every time I sprayed a cleaner my children were breathing toxic chemicals. I had a light bulb moment and never turned back. It started with going eco in my home and that led to being eco for the environment. My family is healthier and so is the environment. Researching, reading, trying new products and a desire to green my home in and out and be a role model for my children is what led me to what I do.

What’s your favorite eco tip?

Start somewhere, anywhere. Don’t overwhelm yourself but decide you’re going to do something today. Maybe it’s using reusable bags today. Then tomorrow you add something else. Everyone wins the race when people go eco and start somewhere.
