Get ready to celebrate - Green Style!
October 13, 2008 | Comments
I am really excited to share this with you all - trust me, it’s been hard work keeping my mouth shut about this one until today!
The Holidays are just around the corner - coming up way too fast in my opinion - but I’ve got a resource that will make the whole thing easier AND more environmentally friendly.
Celebrate Green! Creating Eco-Savvy Holidays, Celebrations & Traditions for the Whole Family is a great handbook for the holidays. Instead of getting caught up in the madness and chaos of creating the perfect Good Housekeeping Holiday (and spending the small fortune and generating the pile of waste that goes along with it), Celebrate Green! gives solid, practical advice for injecting real meaning into the Holidays while reducing waste at the same time.
With four kiddos to outfit in Halloween finery, I flipped instantly to the section on costumes . . . and were my eyes opened! I always knew I didn’t like the Halloween store fare - it’s expensive and yet feels cheap. But I had no idea it was manufactured with (among other things) lead and formaldehyde. Fun, huh? So instead I pitched some of the ideas from Celebrate Green! to my kids, and voila - they turned on their innate creativity and started coming up with great ways to create costumes from what we have at home or could create ourselves. This way, they get a double benefit. Not only do they get to dress up, but they get the fun of creating their costumes as well!
We’re having a blast with this book, and I look forward to incorporating many of the suggestions all year long! I enjoyed it so much I signed on to join the blog tour. Check out a few of the other blogs talking about this book:
