*Halloween is fast approaching, whether we want to believe it or not. And we're looking for people who are as excited as we are about making this holiday child and earth-friendly. You don't have to spend a lot of time participating. What you do is up to you. Whether you want to encourage your Parks and Rec department to green up their annual party, stage a candy exchange or composting party at your child's school, or see if you can get your local newspaper to print a story on a healthier Halloween, let us know. We'd love to have you help make this the most spook-tacularly green Halloween ever. Save money when celebrating green this summer
What do you suppose people did before we had plastic? They used jugs, often of glass or glass blottles. Before you purchase anything in plastic for your picnic or barbecue, think about this: Every year Americans buy 50 billion single-serving plastic beverage containers. Most plastic bottles (approximately 77%), end up in landfills. Add to this the expense as opposed to making your beverage or filling jugs with filtered tap water and this is an eco-idea that's a no brainer. Just for the fun of it, print out our tongue-in-cheek label for your pitcher or make one of your own. It says, "AquaFaucet, pure water straight from my tap."
