Plastic a People Problem

Plastic in the world and oceans is a people problem, which means people like you can help solve it! It’s only together that we can protect our ocean from plastic pollution. Help Us Change the Tide of Plastic Pollution. Like most of you I’ve seen the pictures and looked on in HORROR at the videos. Mountains of plastic and aquatic life swimming towards their death in waters filled with all our plastic waste. Plastic pollution is killing our planet! It’s choking our oceans, po

March E-Green Tips

March 4th: Let’s start the month with some good news! Much of the plastic that ends up in our oceans is from those nasty rings that hold soda and beer cans. Saltwater Brewery in Florida has created a six-pack ring that FEEDS animals instead of killing them. They take barley and wheat left-overs from the brewing process and turned them into an edible, compostable, biodegradable product that holds together a six-pack but doesn’t harm birds or sea life if it ends up in the oce

PERMACULTURE 101

Many people may already be familiar with the term “Permaculture”.

Splendid Spring - Earth Day exibition

Spring Kingdom I'm heading for an unwalked place where spring’s not spoken of, where the border gardens and farm orchards cease. There I’ll get on my knees to uncover avatar kingdoms blooming in miniature underneath dried prairie grass. The wild buds of that place stake out their own air, their own strong light, and their rain. I'm headed where spring wants new words, or better, no words at all, where the streams and fields aren’t spoken for yet, and where what belongs still

Green Tips

This month we’ll look for ways to celebrate Earth Day (April 22) in your home and garden. Reduce paper use by using rags instead of paper towels and cloth napkins instead of paper ones. Buy post-consumer recycled paper goods whenever possible. Spring is an ideal time to pay attention to your compost bin or pile, or to start one! Warmer weather allows the contents in the bin to break down more easily. More info in next week’s Green Tips, or go to eartheasy.com. When cleani

"Green Tips".

GREEN TIPS MARCH 2017 Time to start thinking about spring cleaning? This month we’ll focus on non-toxic ways to do that from the eartheasy.com. This Month: Homemade Cleaning Solutions: 1. White Vinegar cuts grease, removes mildew, odors, and wax build-up. 2. Cornstarch can be used to clean windows and polish furniture. Rust Remover: Sprinkle a little salt on the rust, squeeze a lime over the salt until it is well soaked. Leave mixture for 2-3

GLOBE "Green Tip" - Feb. 2017

Littering hurts the environment and has even been known to cause traffic accidents. It endangers wildlife that try to swallow it; they can also become entangled. Decomposing litter can contaminate waterways. Please respect our Mother: avoid littering, recycle whatever you can, and pick up litter when you see it. Buy locally produced products - not only is it good for the local economy, it will save energy because products haven't traveled across the globe to get to you, s
