Going Back To School Green

This month, the Green Mom’s Carnival topic is Back to School.

August is traditionally the Back to School month where students stock up on what they’ll need for the school year. What usually comes to mind when you think “Back to School”? I immediately think supplies. Backpacks, pencils, pens, erasers, cases, notebooks, calculators, folders…etc. The list can get pretty lengthy! It’s no wonder parents go broke over school supplies each year. That’s not even including clothing or lunch money (both for splurge and for making).

I can remember, when I started high school my mom would give each of us $100 (3 of us = $300). With that money we had to buy our clothes and supplies. She always made our lunches and sometimes would leave two dollars on the days we didn’t have a lunch.

With the $100 dollars, I was smart. I had to make it last. The only way to do this was to shop second-hand. I’d fill up an entire cart of vintage clothes at “The American Way” and felt like I had an entirely new wardrobe when I walked out. It was a good feeling.

Head’s UP!

The other day I blogged about kicking the bottled water habit! In that post I mentioned a promotion that 7-11 is having regarding their .99 cent SLURPEE straws.

It has come to my attention from at The Smart Mama herself: the straws were tested with the XRF gun and found to be made out of ALUMINUM ALLOY!

DEAL BREAKER!!! I apologize for any inconvenience! Thanks for understanding. 

Also, for all you cloth diapering mama’s or mama’s thinking about fluffing your baby’s bottom…

There’s a new site- or “new to me site” I just learned about- www.clothdiapering.com

Check them out! They have a ton of info on cloth diapering and bit on potty learning.

Stay tuned for posts on my cloth diapering experience and how EC’ing with the boys is going…

Buy a Book, Plant a Tree: Earth Tales!

{ATTN: GIVEAWAY AT THE END OF THIS POST}

I LOVE eco friendly books and books that children can learn about other cultures. Reading to my son is an important part of my day and I especially love books that are nature related. One that opens the mind for them to explore and dream about later…

Earth Tales offers a look into the beautiful anthology of folktales in different cultures around the world. Your child will learn how different cultures live in harmony with the rhythms and patterns of nature. The book is filled with eye capturing illustrations. Earth Tales engages future eco kids with fun activities that accompany each story, such as, making a mini water garden or building a willow den, It’s a fun and bright colored.

Earth Tales is an educational book and is recommended for “Read Together” between the ages of 4-8 and “Read Alone” between the ages of 6-10. It would make a great addition to any teacher’s classroom or children’s collection. The stories are all beautifully written and the entire book has easy eco-tips for young readers to learn about.  

Seven countries are explored in Earth Tales and it is a perfect book for the curious mind. It opens the imagination with all the vibrant colors on every page. My favorite folktale was from India “Amrita’s Tree”. I won’t go into story details but you’ll want to become a “Chipko” after reading such a lovely story. Your child will learn to appreciate other cultures and the planet through this influencial hardcover book. Discover how the rest of the world is “Living Green”!

In honor of Earth Day, which is April 22, 2009- Barefoot Books is partnering with Eco-Libris to plant a tree for each copy of Earth Tales sold this April. An outstanding cause for our precious Mother Earth~ The paper in the book is ancient-forest friendly. Overall, this book is fantastic for your future eco kid. Enter the code “SCETALES” for 10% off online purchases- this code is valid through April 30, 2009!
