SLEEPING NAKED IS GREEN SEGMENT:
This fun, new weekly segment is sponsored by Essentia, The Only All Natural Memory Foam Mattress in the World!
Every week will discuss an entry from the hilarious and totally practical book, Sleeping Naked is Green by Vanessa Farquharson. Vanessa took a year to try something new and green every day and shares with readers the reality of the choices she made. There are some great ideas – some very simple, some rather intense. We will share some of her adventures in hopes of inspiring our listeners to try a few things to find their way on the road to reducing our carbon footprints.
