We asked our readers for eco tips from kids to enter a recent contest we had to give away some kid shopping bags.
And here are the really savvy and sweet Eco Tips from Kids:
We don’t throw garbage on the Earth and we pick up litter. We have a compost instead of putting it in […]
I know it’s not a real tree. I’m just feeling hopeful for the planet; what with spring arriving and all.
Honestly, wasn’t Shel Silverstein just way ahead of his time. I mean The Giving Tree was written in 1964. 64 people! That’s incredible. It’s so forward thinking; covering consumption and the need for things. The ability […]
Many of us are welcoming spring today, so I thought it would be nice to go over some nature loving, tree hugging, eco-friendly ideas that will carry the entire family through the better part of spring and into summer.

There are all kinds of cool treasure hunts you can try. For Cedar’s fourth birthday we created a nature treasure hunt. The kids loved it, and it got them all outside and out of my house :)
I drew pictures of things you can find outside - if drawing is not your thing, you can cut […]
Taraluna is such a cool little online shop. I’ve been pretty much enamored with them since purchasing some fair trade wind chimes as a gift for someone last year.
They send me customer e-mails about new products. And of course I had to go over and check out their great new chocolate Easter bunnies.
They have milk […]
