Eco Friendly Thanksgiving Crafts and Thanksgiving Projects for the Whole Family
There are many excellent choices for natural green holiday decorations this time of year!
Thanksgiving Crafts
1. Greeting cards
Thanksgiving is the time of year for sending cards. Making your own from junk mail and postal packaging is a fun project. Cut out pictures from holiday catalogs, gather sample cards that come in the mail, or otherwise collect interesting images from the free mail you receive. Then cut out greeting card-sized sheets of thin cardboard, thick envelopes, or other packaging. Use a paintbrush and decoupage medium, or white glue slightly watered down, and paste the images to the cardboard you cut out.

Fallen Leaves How to Deal with Fallen Leaves The Green Way
Fallen leaves Now what do you do with them?
Burning pollutes the air and is dangerous (it’s also banned in some areas). Leaf blowers use fossil fuels and produce emissions. And leaf blowers are extremely loud and are considered by some to contribute to noise pollution as well. They are highly biodegradable and surrounding them with non-biodegradable plastic makes little sense. So here are some alternatives.
Green Ways to Deal With Fallen Leaves
1. Compost
You can add those that have been raked to your existing compost pile. They will break down and make rich compost. You can also compost them alone, creating a rich compost called leaf mold. Leaf mold can be used as fertilizer like regular compost. Continue Reading Fallen Leaves How to Deal with Fallen Leaves The Green Way Here

Time Change For Fall 2010 Daylight Savings Time Ends
Don't know when to change the clocks, check here!
This strategy was actually implemented during WWI, and not part of a green movement folks. It was, however, an effort to reduce energy usage in homes and save it for war production. During WWII, the federal government again required that the states observe the time change, as between WWI and WWII, states and local municipalities could chose whether or not to observer DST. In the year of 1966 however, Congress initiated and passed the Uniform Time Act, which standardized the actual duration for DST. There are several states and US properties that do not observe DST due to the fact that they are closer to the equator and days are more consistent in length throughout the year.

1. Mummy Fingers
Part of Halloween is the creepy shape and look of the treats.

How to Throw a Green Labor Day Party
How to Throw a Green Labor Day Party
1. Use natural charcoal or wood for your grill. Natural charcoal is very basic – it’s simply charred wood. It’s available by the bag at major retailers and home improvement stores. Using wood itself is another option. If you have a basic backyard grill (not propane), you can burn fallen sticks and twigs that you can gather yourself with minimal effort.
2. Send out electronic invitations to save paper. Or, make your own invitations from scrap paper or junk mail.
3. Encourage your guests to walk, bike, carpool, or use public transportation to get to your party. Continue Reading How to Throw a Green Labor Day Party Here
