Earth Day Ball in Silver Lake

Monday, April 20th, 2009

This Wednesday, Earth Day 2009: Silver Lake Hosts a Ball (of a different sort).
1217537935 3450 L Earth Day Ball in Silver Lake
The Silver Lake Chamber of Commerce has been collecting plastic bags this winter/spring and will be tying them together to form a giant plastic ball in Triangle Square (site of the Saturday farmers’ market) on Earth Day. It’s a tribute to the kids’ book the United Nations Environmental Programme put out, Theo and the Giant Plastic Ball (download the free PDF of the book here) and an effort to increase awareness of the problems with plastic.
755983 plastic bag Earth Day Ball in Silver Lake
Our community is estimated to dole out 6,000 plastic bags a month–part of the million bags a minute consumed worldwide. From now on though, a number of local businesses are just saying no.
You can support Silver Lake’s journey to becoming a “Bring Your Own Bag Neighborhood” by coming along and joining. Details here.
And read up on plastic bag facts from Californians Against Waste.
We hope you have a ball celebrating the earth this week.

EcoHomeResource.com’s Article Featuring ASOG’s Sustainability Coach

Saturday, April 18th, 2009

We’re delighted to share with you an article from EcoHomeResource.com 
featuring our Sustainability Coach Deborah, 
her latest non-toxic home workshop, and the wisdom therein.
Here’s an excerpt:
“Creating a healthy home atmosphere means more than using appealing colors, creative lighting and comfortable furniture. These do impact the perceived atmosphere, but what about the actual atmosphere? ‘Atmosphaera’ is Latin, created from the Greek words athos (vapor) and sphaera (sphere). It literally means the air around you. Indoor air pollutant concentrations can be 15 to 50 times higher than outside. All the color and creative lighting in the world won’t create a truly healthy atmosphere if the air around you is toxic…”
Read the rest of the article, “Improving the Air in Your Home,” at EcoHomeResource.com.
Doesn’t that make you want to check out a workshop?  We hope to see you at one soon.
You can always check out what Deborah’s up to at Creative Green too.
