Go ahead, celebrate & hug a tree today! Get out for a walk with friends. Volunteer for a beach clean-up. Dine al-fresco savoring locally grown foods. Or just stop & smell the roses… (Our lilacs finally bloomed, they are absolutely intoxicating – even our UPS man couldn’t resist them!)
Just take a moment today to celebrate the beautiful, amazing & magnificent planet we all share.

I wanted to write post sharing links on how you can find out about Earth Day events in your neighborhood, but I have been unable to find a comprehensive local guide let alone a national or global one. The site that claims to be the landing point for all things Earth Day (Earth Day International) only has 2 event listings for all of the United States! There are plenty of sales, deals and giveaways for Earth Day , but I don’t want to shop to celebrate Earth Day… Since when did Earth Day become synonymous with Consumer Day, anyways? I applaud getting the word out about green products and making them more affordable, but that’s not what this day is about. And yet, we’ll still publish our green deals and giveaways for Earth Day….
For the Boston area I did several searches and found a few events scattered about, but you’ve really got to work for it, go to over a dozen sites, track down their event listings and then hopefully find one that fits what you are looking for, unfortunately I don’t have the time to invest in the hunt right now. So will celebrate Earth Day in my own way – getting outside and enjoying the day, attending a lecture about the Tesla and biodiesel cars, cleaning up the trash that collects in our neighborhood, raking the side ‘yard’ and enjoying a locally sourced vegetarian meal.
And if you can’t find an event that suits how you’d like to honor Mother Earth, celebrate in your own way – give up plastic for a day, give up driving for a day, pick up trash in your neighborhood, go on a nature walk, enjoy the sunset, plant a tree……. Happy Earth Day!!

Just found out about a Charles River cleanup on Saturday from 9-noon today! Gotta go get my boots!
Feeling inspired to tap into your creative energy, to try something new or to try something green? If you are in the Boston area, Metal Werx, a jewelry making studio in Waltham, is hosting a “Reclaimed/Recycled Materials in Jewelry” workshop led by Heather Skowood, a ‘green artist.’ The workshop runs from April 22-24.

Earth Week Goal #1 – Find new home for perfectly good, hard-to-part-with stuff that I love, but have never used. (Goal #2, only buy stuff that fits, that I love, that is quality and will get lots of use… )
Spring has arrived (just barely here in New England) and I am on a mission to get organized, so I am holding an Earth Day Sale!!
