YEAH! Its strawberry season! One of my favorite times of year. We get a quart of freshly picked strawberries in our CSA (Consumer Supported Agriculture) box each week. My son looks forward to it, as do I.Â
Here is some fabulous information about how wonderfully healthy strawberries are (but please buy organic, they are one of the most heavily sprayed crops);
Here’s a site to help keep you updated (and help you easily get involved) on eliminating PVC;

My 8 year old scolded me for buying paper plates and then lectured me on the environmental impact of the purchase.
Okay, so I don’t usually buy them but we were having a birthday party and I don’t have enough plates for dinner AND cake for everyone. I buy them very infrequently and we use them up and don’t buy them again until the next birthday. I guess I’ll have to figure something else out, like buy an extra set up inexpensive plates.Â
Have you heard of this? It is really cool. You can swap out your old paperback books (and now I think hard covers as well) for ones you have not read FOR FREE! Its a great way to recycle and reuse instead of buying all those books you want to read. If you’re like me, you go through ALOT of books in a year. This is so cool on so many levels.

EWG (Environmental Working Group) want to find out. So they are starting their Bottled Water Project. To help them out, you can submit your bottled water info (What brand? Where did you purchase it? How much did you pay?What type of container?) here; http://www.ewg.org/issues/bottledwater/index.php
If you help them out NOW (first 1,000, I believe) you’ll get their free pesticde wallet card AND a fridge magnet!Â
Okay, so it seems there’s so much in the news as of late on this chemical that certain toy/baby bottle manufacturers and retail stores are petitioning to continue to use in products we expose our newborns to. I’ll just keep adding links to this entry, this one below summarizes the current research.
