We swear by Goody barrettes-the flat, small, colored ones that have become increasingly scarce at drugstores nationwide (if you stumble upon a ten-pack, buy in bulk). Our general love for the brand was only amplified when we discovered its new Eco Movement brushes, which are arriving at Walmart stores just in time for Earth Month. Comprising two different shapes-a large cushion paddle and an oval paddle-the tools are made from natural bamboo and boast patented ComforTip wood bristles that won't snag or pull. You'll appreciate them for their simple, sustainable design-and the gentle scalp massage you get with every swipe.

You've banished bottled water from your fridge and vowed to hit the lights whenever you leave the room. Now that you're in the green groove, it's time to add a little eco-spice to your love life. Here, the hottest ideas for getting it on - for the good of the planet. While you're feeling green check out these 10 easy (and cheap) ways to save the planet.

Invite a Shower Buddy
Bathing with your guy is a lot more fun than doing it alone, and it's also a steamy way to save water and money. To slash the bill even more, install an eco-friendly showerhead. Most standard designs waste up to 5 gallons of water per minute, but Niagara Conservation's Earth Massage showerheads come in models that use only 1 1/2 gallons in that amount of time yet dispense a flow that we swear feels just as strong.

Slip Between Eco-Sheets
Bamboo is one of the earth's most renewable resources, and despite its rough texture in the wild, when it's used in bed linens, it has a silky, slinky feel that's really

I'll be the first to admit that I am less than a tree-hugger. Sure, I love the environment but living in the Bay Area where granola is the norm I know I have plenty of room for improvement. Yes, I have the reusable shopping bags but sadly seem to forget them at home 90% of the time. I was inspired by the Yahoo! Mother Board this month as they talked about how they incorporate green living into their homes.

All of the women have great ideas. Teach Mama suggests sneaking in some learning while you and your family tend to the garden. Tippy Toes and Tantrums brought my attention Snack Taxi bags which are cute little reusable sandwich bags that can help eliminate my overuse of the Ziploc bag. I love that It's All About Balance's children are "the fiercest advocates in our family when it comes to being green…Wherever we are, they ask if there's a recycling bin for their papers or plastic bottles, and make sure the lights are off before we leave the house. Clothes that they've outgrown go in bags to give to Goodwill."

While I may not be the shining example of green motherhood, I look up to those women who make such a concerted effort in their homes. I can relate to MamaLaw as she talks about how last year she wondered "whether busy moms could really be "green," because it just seemed like such an impossible feat at the time."

It's Earth Month, and that means lots and lots of information coming at you about how to live with a lighter environmental footprint. Of course, with all of the media focus on sustainability over the past couple of years, you may figure there's not much left for you to learn. Maybe… or maybe not! Take this quiz to see how much you do know… and what you can still learn about the green life.

1.) You're shopping for ingredients to take to a potluck a neighbor is hosting, and want to choose the most Earth-friendly options. Which of the following labels has strict definitions attached to it, and is certified by a third party?
A. Vegan
B. Antibiotic-Free
C. Organic
D. Natural

2.) A friend suggests that the two of you chip in and purchase a CSA (community-supported agriculture) membership for the coming year. You think hard, and try to remember what a CSA is. Is it
A. A farmers market in the neighborhood?
B. A food cooperative?
C. An urban or community

We're still having nightmares about the photo essay published in Time magazine last January depicting Guiyu, a city in China overrun with old electronics. (Is that my old cell phone in the pile?)

The shocker is that 80% of the electronics come in to Guiyu from overseas to be recycled. Workers process about 1.5 million pounds of electronics a year, breaking down old computers, cell phones, and other devices to access the tiny amounts of metals within the wiring. "Recycling" so much e-waste has taken a heavy toll. The city's water has become black with pollution from dumping waste. Children suffer from one of the highest rates of lead poisoning in the world, and the women of Guiyu experience a high number of miscarriages. Properly and safely recycling electronics is expensive in the United States and other First World countries, which is why so many devices end up in China or India, where regulations are much more lax. Human beings and the environment shoulder the cost instead.

SANDRA BULLOCK

Bullock's acting skills are award-worthy-and so are her beauty products. After a makeup artist used Decléor Aroma Night Regenerating Cream on her for a photo shoot, the star requested her own jar. It's no wonder Bullock's smitten: Besides being eco-friendly the paraben-free moisturizer makes skin supple and helps foundation go on silky-smooth.
