Pinch Pennies, Save Planet: Fruit Tree Fun
Want your kid to eat more fruit? Want your kids a little more environmentally aware?
Make it more fun: Draw a tree on a piece of paper. Tack this up on a wall or door as a poster. Every time your kid eats a tree fruit with a sticker, have the kid put the sticker on the tree poster. Talk with your child about how we need more trees (they are the lungs of our world, and ensure that the temperature is right for us and that the air is breathable. Too many have been chopped… Continue

Pinch Pennies, Save Planet: New Blog
It is a New Year, a time many people make resolutions and try to keep them. I’m joining in: I’m starting this blog. It is a work in progress right now, and will smooth out and grow as I scale the learning cliff of blogging.
The global financial crises is forcing a lot of dramatic changes on many of us. I for one need to go back to a more frugal way of thinking and living. Yet I do not want to sacrifice my and my family’s future well-being for my short-term… Continue

How can so much time have passed without me writing on your wall? It's been ages since I've chatted with you over here! My goodness, I've gotten so absorbed in Ursa Freedom Project and saving moon bears from wretched crush cages that I sometimes feel like I'm neglecting members over here at ecopaparazzi. But I wanted to drop in and say hi and Happy Earth Day and Arbor Day! Gonna plant a tree anywhere? Let me know if you blog about doing an Earth Day or Arbor Day activity with your daughter.

- Hi NaTasha and welcome to ecopaparazzi. I absolutely enjoyed reading your profile and think you have come to a new neighborhood that suits you well. I busted up about the funny eco moment. And your opening salvo, not being able to pick just one. I wish I had thought of that for my own personal page. It's so true. Earth is rich with such splendor how can we pick just one element? Keep us all posted when you get your website up. Make sure you update your page once you've got the URL. I, for one, will want to read what you have to say there. I'm so glad you are here and I welcome you heartily!
About
Eco photos show the beauty and destruction of Mother Earth. Pictures sound the alarm; wake us up; and motivate us toward activism.
ECO KUDOS
Kudos to artist and writer Rod MacIver for producing a gorgeous edition of one of the most inspirational books I've ever read and animated films I've ever seen -- The Man Who Planted Trees. Rod's journal includes the story by Jean Giono and interviews with the film animator Frederic Back. Buy it at Heron Dance.
Global greed is out. Local sharing is in. The Wall Street system failed us; this book is a great guide as we build the alternatives. Kudos to David Korten, one of our most brilliant economic thinkers.
Thanks to Denis Slieker and Jos van Assendelft for writing Our Balancing Act: the real value of ecosystems. The book emphasizes the need to put a monetary value on the services provided by forests in order to provide a business case against unsustainable conversion. Buy the book at www.theforestenterprise.com
The Indianapolis Prize is the largest individual monetary award for animal species conservation in the world and is given as an unrestricted gift to the chosen honoree by the Eli Lilly and Company Foundation. The award is an energetic and spectacular celebration of conservation victories and puts heroes, who live in danger of both wild beasts and poachers, on the pedestal that we usually reserve for sports and entertainment stars.
TAKE ACTION!
Replace your lawn with native shrubs, flowers and trees. Plant a butterfly garden, and put in a pond. You'll benefit from the beauty and tranquility of your yard, and wildlife will benefit from the food and water sources that you provide.
