Congratulations Corinna on winning this week’s Green Books Giveaway:
We asked our readers to tell us “Who inspires you to be green?”
Here’s our winning contestants story:
My late grandmother inspires me to be green, because since before the 50’s, she was green before it was a fad. She would use her used tea bags in the garden. Wash and reuse, rewash and reuse, milk bags, containers etc. She always brought her own knit bags to the grocery store. Grew her own seasonal food. Raised her own chickens, pigs, and cows.

-Corinna.
