Erin Peters with her sons, left to right, Nicolus, 7, Rylan, 3, and Eli, 6, at their home in Raleigh, N.C., Thursday, Oct. 6, 2011. Erin lives in Raleigh with her husband and three sons. She had been buying products like 7th Generation cleaners but had to cut back because she couldn't afford them. Now she makes her own green cleaners at home. She also went from a homeowner to a home renter, and the family home is within walking distance of the husband's job so he can walk to work. They use the extra money saved on gas to buy green items like organic meat and veggies. (Chris Keane for The New York Times
