While you are hopping on your social media channels to connect with others in celebration of Social Media Day, we wanted to remind you how social media can (and should!) be used to share our passion for living an eco-friendly lifestyle and help us connect–and get inspiration from–others in our green living communities. If your social media feeds are not feeding your eco-friendly soul, here are some folks you may want to add:
