What a turnout at Earth Fair 2012 in San Diego. Unfortunately, the sun didn’t come out all day, although there were THOUSANDS of people, and pets! Our best seller was the Hemp burlap bag that you see hanging above. Hemp is 8 times stronger than cotton, and grows wild without pesticides and fertilizers. We wish it were legal in the US. Unfortunately, politicians still have not realized that this is NOT marijuana, and you can’t smoke hemp. It would be such a great plant for farmers, because hemp is useful for so many purposes including food!
The Kids Kit To Save The Planet from Plastic Bags was also a popular item- we had many children add their artwork to the bags we put out for them. Isn’t kid’s art the wonderful? These creative toys make a great birthday present for children. It’s also a great rainy day project. And we even had a couple of artists stop by and add their drawings! So if you’re artistically inclined- this is fun for you too!
Make EVERY DAY Earth Day! And remember you Mother Earth for Mother’s Day! Bring your own bag to the store.
THINK that I shall never see
A poem lovely as a tree.
A tree whose hungry mouth is pressed
Against the earth’s sweet flowing breast;
A tree that looks at God all day,
And lifts her leafy arms to pray;
A tree that may in Summer wear
A nest of robins in her hair;
Upon whose bosom snow has lain;
Who intimately lives with rain.
Poems are made by fools like me,
But only God can make a tree.
- Joyce Kilmer
Will you PLEASE bring your own reusable shopping bag. NO, taking paper isn’t better for the environment. NEITHER paper nor plastic is a good choice. If you forget your bag, put the stuff back in the shopping cart and push it to your car. Keep cardboard boxes for emergencies. This takes such a small effort, and saves a tree that has filtered the water and air, given a home to animals, perhaps brought forth fruit or nuts… A living being, that gives beauty and shade, deserves to continue it’s life – not just for itself, but for the betterment of the earth. For Earth Day, buy some reusable shopping bags, and USE them.
Your Mother Earth Will Thank You-

The world’s largest annual environmental fair and
Earth Day Celebration
23rd annual event!
I think that everyday SHOULD be Earth Day. I mean, what is the BIG deal about bringing your own reusable shopping bags to the store instead of getting those lousy plastic bags? Just look around at the garbage on the side of the roads. It’s plastic and plastic bags. They even get stuck in the trees!
Are looking for a terrific gift for the child in your life for Earth Day? Or maybe YOU want to release your inner artist? Then we have the perfect gift for you! Decorate our terrific Organic Cotton, Fair Trade bags with non-toxic fabric paint pens. Put you message on the bag!
It’s called the Kid’s Kit To Save The Planet From Plastic Bags. It comes with an educational booklet, perfect for Earth Day! Maybe you’ll learn something too!
Kids Kit To Save The Planet
Remember, you can’t throw plastic “away”. It NEVER biodegrades; only photo degrades into smaller and smaller pieces. And those nasty pieces are eaten by smaller and smaller animals, and making it’s way UP the food chain – eventually into YOUR body! And where is “away” anyway?
Get Reusable Organic Biodegradable Bags- and USE them!
