Welcome back to another Small Footprint Friday—a blog link-up party about sustainable living. Every Friday, we come together to support and encourage each other in living greener, healthier more sustainable lives.
By joining together and sharing our wisdom, we can turn the tide on our health and environmental crises, and create a better world for our children and grandchildren.
There are so many things we can learn from each other, like how to:
- save energy, water, trees, gas, and other resources;
- grow, preserve and store food;
- avoid toxins and heal ourselves naturally;
- make our own necessities;
- reduce our consumption, recycle our waste, and reuse what we have;
- redefine what makes life meaningful, prosperous and abundant…
How It Works
1. Share your posts that relate to “green” or sustainable living. There are some ideas above, but feel free to post anything related to keeping your family’s resource footprint small and sustainable. Posts from your archives are OK. Please enter the title and link to your POST (not your home page) in the Linky below.
2. In your post, please place a link back to THIS Small Footprint Fridays post (NOT to the home page). Linking back directly to this week’s link-up page helps build our community by sending your readers to all of the other posts shared.
Simply make a link at the end of your post that says something like, “Posted at Small Footprint Fridays” or right-click and save the badge below and use it to link back to this page. I reserve the right to delete those links that don’t adhere to this.
3. I’ll post the Small Footprint Fridays Link-Up on Thursday night around 8 p.m. (PST). Please come and join up then!
4. Please leave a comment, and help our sustainable living community grow by sharing Small Footprint Fridays with your friends on Facebook, Twitter or Pinterest! Plus, doing so will help your post get more visitors.
5. Most importantly, be sure to visit a few of the links that interest you. Learning from and encouraging each other is what this is all about, after all!
What Can’t I Post?
NO RECIPES, PLEASE, unless they are for food preservation or storage. There are tons of recipe link-ups out there. Small Footprint Fridays has a different focus.
Also, we want these links to be valuable to readers months—or even years—from now, so please don’t post giveaways, link-ups, Etsy shops or affiliate promotions.
I hate using the delete button; so please don’t make me.

Thank you so much for hosting this wonderful blog hop, Dawn!
Awhile ago I came across some fascinating information on some very traditional and meaningful ways in which we can celebrate the lives of our loved ones who have passed away in the comfort of our own homes, as well as bury them in a way that allows their bodies to return naturally into the earth. My post is called ‘Home Funerals and Green Burials,’ and it explains more about these very traditional, earth friendly practices, and provides links to a variety of resources where you can find more information about them.
This week I shared two posts: the personal experience of my husband’s recent 10 day water fast, and my own experience of a 5 day smoothie fast. Both contain great information on the benefits of fasting, plus 10 smoothie recipes!
Thanks for hosting the hop this week!!
Thank you for hosting!
