You will be relieved to find that it's not just another blog packed with clichés. At first it may appear slightly dull and understated, but don't let its simplicity turn you off because as you begin to read it, what you will learn is unique, useful and refreshing. The first line in the greeting indicates that the writers are renters (obviously) who can never seem to own their own property. I can truly relate to that.

Browse around and you'll be fascinated by the versatile collection of food recipes, reviews, tips and diary entries which are insightful. Who knew you could still pursue gardening if your backyard was limited to concrete and your landlord won't let you dig a hole? Half of the appeal of GreenRenters is the authors’ knowledge and the other half in its pictures. The blog is not too text heave and posts are accompanies by some mouth watering photographs. A bit different, a bit simple but all the same delightful. This blog invites you into a place where being green is a whole lot better than being any other colour.

I was thrilled that there were individuals as devout and motivated as these two, who were not only concerned about convenience, but emanated a belief to protect the environment. Preserving natural resources is a priority even if that means they are restricted from luxuries. There should be more blogs which have the intention to inspire us to act, and make more ethical and thoughtful choices about how we live. Whether you rent, have your own home or still live with your parent (like me!), taking some time to read this blog may enlighten your views on leading a sound existence. The GreenRenters blog is a step closer to shaping an ideal world in the comfort of your own rented home. You don't even need to blog, the work’s already done for you.
