Thank you so much to everyone who submitted articles for this month’s edition of the OGD Blog Carnival.

With Father’s Day just around the corner, these articles will be a great treat for many dads out there looking for tips and advice on how to be a better dad in a world turning green.

I am amazed by the explosive growth in this blog carnival in just our second edition.  Last month we had 4 published articles; this month we have 16 featured articles.

Several articles stuck out to me as excellent this month.  I particularly enjoyed not the jet set’s blog about Rain Barrels, vegoftheweek’s checklist of fruits and veggies ranked ordered from most dangerous to tolerable, if buying organic’s not always an option, and all of the articles in our “BEING A BETTER DAD” department are great, particularly Parenting Squad’s blog about Stay At Home Dads.

So without futher ado, I present this month’s slate:

Being a Better Dad

Sonja Stewart presents Last Man Standing posted at Parenting Squad.

Green Living

NtJS presents How To: Build a Low-Cost Rain Barrel posted at not the jet set, saying, “The lawn is typically daddy’s domain. Tired of paying the city for their over treated water just to have to deal with their watering schedules when the mid-summer shortages occur? Me too. In one weekend, you plan, build and install a residential rainwater collection system that will keep all your plants healthy and happy in those harsh times.”
