Fresh Celebrate Green News, November 16, 2009We're greenin' the airwaves

Just go to www.Toginet.com/celebrategreen or subscribe to our podcasts on I-Tunes. This week's show features green writer and mom Jennifer Chait talking about saving when shopping organic, especially for the holidays. Plus our personal cookie guru, Bob Mickus of Beautiful Sweets, whose all-organic cookies are works of art and taste like heaven is melting in your mouth.

What a great way to test out one of the best ideas ever for the holidays, a beeswax candle making kit. Whenever we do a Celebrate Green! interactive "playshop," making these candles is always a hit. It's so easy a three-year-old can do it, but when you make and burn beeswax candles, you're putting "meaning in the greening," and having fun at the same time. A great family activity for Thanksgiving, Christmas or Hanukkah. Live in Seattle? Don't miss the decor swap on Saturday, November 21 When your wallet�s tight and the environment is gasping �help me breathe,� how can you find great gifts and dress up your home for the holidays while keeping your conscience green? Attend the Sit+Sip Holiday Home Accessories Swap. It's simple, fun and best of all, you'll get to meet Lynn! Stop by and say hello. We w-o-n!

KIWI magazine quoted Corey extensively in an article about focusing on family, not stuff for the holidays. We're speaking tonight, Monday, Nov. 16, at one of the best little bookstores on the planet, Village Books in beautiful Fairhaven, near Bellinghame WA. Come on down. We've got a special gift for you. (Hint: It rhymes with Beek-o Lag.) And tomorrow, we shoot two segments for NWCN's great Shaniqua Manning. More on that in an upcoming issue.
