Green is NOT a 4 Letter word!

Happy Earth Day, again...

2010-04-20T08:07:00.000-07:00

'Go Green!'

What have we learned, if anything? Are things any better for our planet and inevitably us who live on it?! Saw a documentary about this topic called 'Earth Days' on PBS. We have surprisingly been celebrating Earth day now for 40 years! I didn't know this. at first it started as a grassroots hippie phenomenon with the largest demonstration in NYC whcih brought thousands of interested people in 1970. With the Republican administrations things went south fast after Carter, for our planet whcih is not surprising as republicans have had a long history of bineg disinterested in our environment.

What are your thoughts? What will you do Thursday in honor of Earth Day? Last year I taught a class at the library and I attended a Green fair in Rhinebeck. I make beer bottle cap jewelry as you know and usually do a class. I ran a class at the nursing home in New Rochelle, Ny. My mom is currently in which is why have been scarce here, sorry. She has not been doing well. Prayers Welcomed and again, "Happy Earth Day All!". :) -Ann

Now I need my other blogs to go up as well! My Alexa rank has gone down though as I rarely drop on entrecard anyomore as I have better things to do. In my opinion, I shouldn't have to influence people to read or visit my blog. If they like it they will come. All I need to do is make a nice page that is user freindly and make sure it is well advertised so people hear of it and then the fact it is interesting to others as well as my self and useful and fun will be enough.

'Go Green!'

thought I'd mention it as I don't see it advertised on the net since last year's fest. I live near by the park where the fest is so stop by my giant yard sale as am moving and everything is 75% off original price. Lots of new,never used items so it is really a great deal. DVDs,clothing,art,jewelry,electronics,housewares,etc.

Eco-Fair was a Success,..

'Go Green!'

thanks to those who participated,came out and sponsored this event. We had about 25 vendors, including sponsors like local banks and even a hybrid and electric car there! I gave my lecture on how going and being 'Green is NOT a 4 letter
word'. I think it went well. You can catch my speel on the local radio station this link.They are out of Greene and columbia counties of upstate NY in the hudson River VAlley area. I think it was great exposure for me as an artist.jewelry designer and for my busness'Artzstuf'. Thanks you to all who made it memorable. For those of you who couldn't attend or participate, you missed out!

Arianna Huffington from Huffington press fame goes Green..

2009-04-03T11:54:00.000-07:00

Yes Arianna is turning 'Green' too these days!
i WILL BE AT A 'gREEN fAIR' BEiNG HELD AT THE dUTCHESS cOUNTY faIR gROUNDS ON aPRIL 25TH AND 26TH. 'gREENINGREENE' LIKE GREEN IN gREeNE COUNtY WILL BE sharing a table with me although they are involved wtih turbine alternative Green energy but is good as is no competition for a 'Greenie' like me as i will be there with my 'Greene'Art made from bottle caps and reusable metal from tuna cans. yeh i make wearable art namely jewelry from it like see in pic. HOpe to see you there! If you are a green company and want to paricipate in this event, by sending me some literature about you and your 'green' company, by all means do! I will add it to my table. i plan on sharing the benfits of 'Green' cleaning products i use like 'Greenworks' by Clorox and even how to save big on bringing a drink from the frig. with you in an 'Ecocanteen' stainless steel bottle! 'Terrafurnishings' makes 'Green' furniture and i think i will get some literature on 'Green' homes like building with the solar energy and reusable wood in mind instead of tearing down trees in the forest. I will share on how i compost my cat litter as i use pine or cedar litter which is biodegreadable and the waste is thrown in a garbage pail that has a hole in the bottle and I throw 'Rid=ex septic fluid in it to eat it up! i will also get some peole fro the 'CSA' farm in Germantown to speak on farm to table produce instead of buying from your local super market. They even have milk from their goat and eggs from their chickens! They will be at the farmer's market this year. i will also se if i can get soem people or literature from'Buy Greene!' which is a campaign to buy in Green county Ny especially handmade product from artists and artisans. "go Green!" I will be teaching a class on 'Green Art' too around the 22nd of April,Earth Day, at the Cairo library.

Do you have Dog Poo on the brain?

Animals Large and Small: Obama and PETS>>

something smells here!

Is it my imagination or do many on the net have poo on the brain!? Especially Entrecarders seem to be exasperated by it! Go read what 'Slightly Sarcastic' ,or more commonly known as 'The Admaster' from Entrecaard fame, has to say on poo. Landfills are full of bags of poo in plastic nonrecyclable bags, thrown there by good-natured people trying to do the right thing or atleast follow the law. But..is it really the right thing to do at all?! No..plastic isn't the bag to choose unless it is the good kind that is recyclable and that costs money..hmm what is the answer? brown bag it folks! And I aint talking lunch here,lol..

Some good ideas on waste issue are expressed here but I don't agree to dump it on a compost pile as cats and dogs are carnivores dear and only organic garbage goes on the pile as it is used for fertilizer like in a compost tea bag of cheese cloth and you pour over it with water over your plants. Nice try though! Some blame the dogs for not being as tidy as cats who cover their business. Good grief! What do you do or think? join the discussion here. Leave a comment. My dog will proofread it before me to see if it's worth reading (jk) lol..

How Politically Correct are you?

2009-03-20T17:33:00.000-07:00

Nowadays, many of us try to do the right thing but it is very hard sometimes to know which products we are using are made by a Good Company or not. Example being,Nestle. Years ago I learned that they gave for Free, baby formula to poor women in Africa only to later charge them for it and many women couldn't afford to pay and their babies died. Pretty horrible right? Yes. So like any good kid would, i boycotted Nestle and it's chocolate milk and candy bars only to later find that they were the parent company to other companies that made all sorts of things that weren't even edible! Needless to say I gave up my boycott of nestle and it's products and swore to be ethical in other ways like being kind to animals,even though I ate some of them for dinner!Read more
