Hello.

How is your week going so far? For me, it felt like Friday, yesterday. I feel completely off this week … maybe it’s the full moon, maybe it’s because it’s the end of the month, maybe it’s the weather… maybe it’s the holiday weekend I’m looking forward to.

Whatever it is, things just seem a little wacky & wobbly this week. But, it’s not stopping me from throwing in the paper towels and getting down and dirty in the garden! We harvested Calendula flowers yesterday and enjoyed some of their leaves in a green smoothie. The flowers and leaves are perfectly edible. Pretty rad, if you ask me!

Besides, my funky week there’s lot’s of rockin’ 411 coming through the green wire this week…

so let’s get to it, shall we…

Gary Smith from Elephant Journal interviews  Ruby Roth, author of the storybook for children “That’s Why We Don’t Eat Animals” … wonderful read!

Okay, so lately I’ve made a couple eco switches, I’m proud about. What about the not so green regrets… do you have any? I have a few too. * gasp*

Double WTF?  Zoo animals on the menu? YUCK!

When headed out to the sun this summer or for this holiday weekend (Memorial Day) be sure to Check Your Sunscreen

Plan on BBQ’ing this weekend for the holiday but worried for the veggie guest(s) you’ve invited? Fret no longer…  Vegan Grilling Guide 101

Unless you’ve been hiding under a rock lately it’s no secret the Gulf Oil Spill is devastating our oceans and the wonderful creatures living within … don’t miss these  exclusives!

Make sure you read this truly inspiring article…  What’s the 5 Gyres Project Up to Now … thought provoking!

I’d like to own a pair of these!

Another clever way to get around plastic in the kitch! (pun intended)

And lastly this project looks like a lot of fun…  DIY Eco Felt Board for Teaching Toddlers Spelling & Reading
