Fresh Celebrate Green News Jan. 29, 2010

It's been awhile since we've send out news. Believe us, it's not because there isn't any! Just the opposite. We've been extremely busy with lots of interesting possibilities developing for 2010. Hope you had a wonderful holiday season and that 2010 rocks for you!

Purchase Celebrate Green! and $12 goes to Haiti

Until January 31, $12 of the $17.95 plus shipping for every copy of Celebrate Green! purchased from our website, will go to Haiti relief through the Clinton Bush Relief Fund. What a great time to stock up. Some buyers have been purchasing the book and donating it to high schools and libraries.

What a great way to give on two fronts.

Every day, our Open Sky shop is growing with items we believe in. It's a lot of fun to partner with companies we admire to bring together hard-to-find items to help everyone celebrate green.

Smart Symbols highlights our book in a widget you can use

Smart Symbols is a revolutionary idea that packs tons of info into a small widget that can be displayed on any site and we're thrilled they chose to work with us developing one for our book, Celebrate Green! Ours contains lots of information about the book plus feeds from our social media accounts and more.

Because the symbol contains RSS feeds, it is constantly updated. This means that when bloggers write about us, for instance, and include the Smart Symbols widget, the blog page will continue to be "updated" for as long as it's on the internet. Search engines love this.

If you've got a blog where you've interviewed us or written about Celebrate Green! and would like to add the widget, just go to our blog www.CelebrateGreen.net/blog, look in the left hand column and copy and paste the Smart Symbols HTML.

If you want to do a new interview and try this out or give us feedback, let us know.

Baby shower coming up? Learn how to make it eco-friendly for mom and babe with our segment on Parents TV

If you receive Comcast VOD, right now, you can catch the green baby shower segment we filmed with Juli Auclair back in October in NYC. Otherwise, you'll have to sit tight until next month when it will be up on the Parents TV site along with links to all the truly wonderful products we featured.

We'll also be Tweeting about them and talking them up on our Facebook fan page. (By the way, if you're not yet following Celebrate Green and Green Halloween, be sure to join us. Just search for either name on both sites and sign up.)

We're so excited by the number of healthier alternatives to chemical laden baby products and are delighted to promote them whenever we can.

Viva! Viva La Moda

Speaking of DIY, we're in love with Etsy and other online spots for picking up handmade items that we don't craft ourselves, especially if they're green.

This month, we make it easy to shop for green handmade gifts for Valentine's Day for friends, loves, and kids by way of an article in the great online magazine, Viva La Moda. Check it out (we're on page 44).
