EmmeMoms On The Verge Of Green
Emme is a New Jersey mom on the Verge of Green! Share her funny and relevant life experiences, as she highlights the importance of recycling in a fast-paced and often ego-centric world.

Emme reflects on the joys and hardships of balancing her hectic family life with living and promoting a more green existence in her home and community. Friends have fondly called her thrifty and frugal, yet she prefers being known as "resourceful!" Emme stepped up her green efforts in 2007 when she was diagnosed with Stage 2 Hodgkin's lymphatic cancer. Out went all conventional household cleaners, filters were placed on all water sources in her home, green juicing became a daily routine, and Emme embraced a more self-sustainable lifestyle with her family including more carpooling, bus rides and bike riding.

Good intentions aside, it requires daily effort to keep green living a priority. Emme's hilarious real life quandary of living green will leave you questioning how you can personally embrace a greener lifestyle and how to use your voice to make changes happen. You will connect, commiserate and learn from her life lessons while relating to her recycling efforts as the ever growing pile of glass jars, twine, used wrapping paper and hand me downs leaves her screaming, "enough is enough!" (But just for a second!)
