For all our Climate Mamas…wishing you a Happy Mother’s Day…and for you Climate Papas that might be looking for a “special” gift for those socially conscious, caring moms in your life, we have a few ideas for last minute mother’s day or future “special” day gifts. Oxfam has some unique gift ideas including: “planting” a vegetable garden or “buying” a water purifier for someone in need in a developing country, check out Oxfam for more ideas. Treehugger has just announced their “Best of Green” in eight categories, including health and beauty, so have a look! And FYI, this week, our friends at Toms Shoes are celebrating their 4th birthday. Help them celebrate by buying some special shoes for the Mama, the Papa, or the kids in your life. For those of you who aren’t familiar with Toms Shoes, for every pair you purchase, TOMS will give a pair of new shoes to a child in need. “One for One”, that’s their moto. Using the purchasing power of individuals to benefit the greater good is what Toms is all about, a premise we all need to remember and try to emulate. Use the strength of your purchasing power to purchase goods and services that support a sustainable world, it will help us get to a much better place!
In honor of moms, we have a “new” product to share with you “just listed” in our product and services data base. Mom invented and Mom approved, snackTAXIS, are reusable snack and sandwich bags, and provide a wonderful alternative to plastic baggies. Our Video Peek of the Week comes to us from Greenpeace, and In the News, we look at a town in Massachusetts, which has become the first town in the US to ban the sale of plastic water bottles!
