September 8, 2011

As students return to school, as daylight begins to wane, a warm, safe, and comfortable place to live is on everyone's mind, especially the minds of pregnant women and parents.

Feminists for Life knows everyone needs a place to call home, and longtime American Feminist contributor Ruth Moynihan has some innovative recommendations for finding affordable "Housing, Furnishings & Utilities."

In addition to information about renting, buying, sharing, and fixing up housing, this article also includes a valuable reminder that many money-saving choices are also environmentally friendly practices. Buying items used, reusing what you have, and avoiding disposables is conservation--less waste in your budget and less waste in the environment. Oikos, a household or dwelling place, is the root of "eco" in both economy and ecology. What's good for your wallet and home can also be good for your community and planet!

Please forward this article and share these resources with your friends, family members, and coworkers--someone will definitely be able to use them.
