I posted all about this event at Blisstree Green, so if you want, go check it out. In this post there’s info on …read more

I recently posted about Disneynature’s Earth – a great new movie opening on Earth Day 2009. However, being me, I left out one very important point about this flick.

Disneynature is celebrating the release of their premiere film, Earth, by planting a tree in honor of every moviegoer who sees the film in its opening week. This is just one more cool reason why you and the whole family should go see the movie Earth. Besides being a family-friendly nature film, a good time, and a reason to justify overly calorie laden popcorn, it’s great that your outing will help to …read more

Hope everyone is having a nice Earth Day… I’ve been collecting some cool earth-minded family posts over the last week, so I could share them today.

I tried to pick posts that can help you live every single day greener. Earth Day is fine and dandy, and I’m pleased that so many celebrate on this one day, but it’s not enough. Use these posts to get into a mind set that every day is Earth Day. We can’t save the world in one day, that’s impossible.
From the emails I get telling me that I’m nuts for even considering the dangers of …read more
