Earth Day 2008

Earth Day 2008 is Tuesday, April 22nd, and it's getting a lot of press this year as America's environmental awareness continues to grow. Just think how quickly buzzwords like "carbon-neutral," "biodiesel," and "EcoMoms" are entering our daily vocabulary. To honor this special day, here's a Lighter Side-style tribute to green living (we've always been cheerleaders for "natural" gas).

Is the only green you see in your kitchen the mold growing on your produce? Gross! Instead of seeing that food go to waste, try using a food-saving produce bag. Green Bags™ keep your fruits and vegetables fresh 10 times longer than regular methods of storage. Plus, they are reusable and use a 100% non-toxic and all-natural mineral to prolong the life of your produce.
Kids (and adults) learn green lingo as they play this fun and unique Earthopoly game. Players learn about the environment as they travel the board collecting carbon credits to trade for clean air. What's really neat is how earth-friendly the game itself is. It's made with recyclable paper and soy-based ink, the tokens are organic and even the plastic shrink-wrap used in the packing is completely biodegradable!

Toss on a cute tee (like our Conserve Energy T-shirt) and help raise eco-awareness. I've found that getting my husband to think greener is easier when I appeal to his funny bone. Which is why I gave him the Give A Toot, Don't Pollute tee as an early Earth Day gift. He's already assured me he won't have any problems giving a toot!
