Real Mama, Inc. was in operation as a non-profit from 2005-2012 during a time when being green was not the norm. Our goal was to inform and educate people, especially families, about the environment. After eight years, we have decided to pursue other avenues of advocacy and personal endeavors. When Real Mama was established, information tailored to families about making green choices was lacking; we feel that we helped fill that gap. Now being green is more mainstream.
Real Mama’s website will remain accessible with our archive of articles, which can be searched. We will continue to post Facebook and Twitter updates on current events, but will no longer post new articles or accept tax-deductible contributions.
Real Mama’s unbleached organic cotton reusable produce bags are still available for sale.
Thank you for your interest and support. Remember: Healthy Planet, Healthy Families.
