Fresh Celebrate Green News March 11, 2008
Green Bits
- Pledge to bag plastic and watch Schlumpy roll at the home of a bag system we love, www.BlueAvocado.com
- Got a few minutes to decompress? Play our St. Patty's Day game, a co-op venture between Celebrate Green! and www.ConsciousArcade.com
- If you own an eco-friendly baby business, you can make a difference to military moms-to-be by contributing product to www.operationshower.org. Lena started a couple of years ago doing these showers and now wants to turn them green. With your help she can. Single items are welcome. We sense a big media opportunity coming on!
We need your help!
We hate to beg, but we're not above it. So if you love what we're doing and want to help promote the idea of celebrating green, here are a few things you can do for us:
- With Mother's Day fast approaching, email your local TV station or newspaper (most have links to "suggest a story"), or national shows like Regis and Kelly, and suggest they produce or write a story about "Save Green While Celebrating this Green Mother's Day." Be sure to add "Lynn Colwell and Corey Colwell-Lipson from Celebrate Green, are the go-to experts on the topic." (Well, use your own words, but something along this line is what will get them calling.)
 Live in Portland? Mark your calendar for March 28 at 1 p.m., Go meet Lynn and Corey at the Better Living Show (and spread the word to everyone you know).
- Visit our blog and sign up to receive updates via email or RSS feed
Thank you in advance for helping out! If you get us a gig, we're happy to give you a shout out in our next newsletter, so be sure to let us know who you've contacted.
W-I-N with Celebrate Green!
We've got two fun concursos (that's Spanish for a word that could get us stuck in your spam filter), going on right now at Celebrate Green! Be sure to try both.
 1. Never heard of Holi? It's the Hindu Festival of Colors. (Frankly, right about now, we could use some color since our backyards are covered in white!) Our courso (see above), gives you the opportunity to win an organic t-shirt or onesie from www.MyLittlePakora.com and their Yoga Baby or Wild Baby lines. (Sizes are contingent on stock levels.) Click here for instructions.
 2. Even if you're not an artist, why not try to design a pendant for our Mother's Day competition? In collaboration with www.BlendCreations.com, we're offering a gorgeous stainless steel pendant and a copy of Celebrate Green! to the person (child or adult), who submits the most popular design. Instructions here. Submissions due by March 17.
Discovery
What: Coco-Zen chocolate lotion
Where: www.Coco-Zen.com
What we love: Lynn doesn't care for the taste of chocolate, but even she was blown away by the delicious aroma after she'd used the lotion on her hands. Need a chocolate fix? Just take a whiff!
