happy happy earth day, dear-hearts! you know it fills me with great happiness knowing that so many souls are focused on the health and well-being of our planet on this day (my other career is in environmental law, for those of you not yet in-the-know). earth-consciousness has certainly grown this year from where it was last year. this is so good. i hope it is more than just a passing fad and folks take this seriously from now on (please?).
take a moment, if you will, and tell me how you are celebrating earth day! {we will be eating a vegan feast by candle-light, sending out some positive vibes and powering down tonight.}
also, if you have taken steps to green your business, let us know in the comments! {i use recycled paper and vellum exclusively in my studio and have for the past year. i upcycle and re-use packaging whenever possible.}
what good things are you doing for the environment at home? are you carpooling? bussing? walking? biking? composting? tell me, dear friends. {we are looking to dig up our driveway to replace it with something that allows for groundwater infiltration, presently. we compost. we recycle. we bike & walk. you know all about it, so i'll keep this from sounding "soap-boxy."}
what are your favorite green businesses? {right now i'm LOVING Nimli, Stewart + Brown, Olio United, just to name a few.}
*** Feel the green, right down to your heart. Green is associated with the heart (anahata) chakra, by the by.

ReplyDeleteWe're celebrating Earth Day by going vegan for a week. For me it's really easy. I eat vegan 90% of the time. My husband however is vegetarian and he's already struggling. I'm hoping to show him this week so easy (and helpful to the planet) it is!
I spent the night drinking wine and eating pie by candlelight warmed by fireplace at a re-enactment of a nineteenth century tavern on the New Jersey side of the Hudson River. We were entertained by song, guitar, old-fashioned games, local folklore and history at The Kearny House (nearly 250 years old) under the cliffs of the Palisades. It was a wonderful Earth Day, a beautiful everyday.
