Watch out, Kermit! It's getting easier and easier to be green!

Okay, I don't want to get a reputation of being the tree-hugger of our little blogger community but it is Earth Day/Week so I thought I would just pass on these links.......


http://www.walmart.com/green - purchase CFL lightbulbs and clothing made with organic cotton
And please don't think that this in no way indicates an endorsement of any of their employment policies.... these products can be bought at other stores.......

Earth Friendly Goods - Sells items like this organic cotton/soy blend skirt and other earth friendly goods.

Under the Canopy - clothing made from organic cotton and soy fabric

"Lucy - Cotton/Soy workout clothing

Moonrise Jewelry - This collection features designs made entirely of ethically-sourced materials and Fair Trade Semi-precious Gemstones.

Green Karat- offer jewelry made from recycled precious metals to reuse the waste of extractive gold mining.

Sumiche Jewelry Co. - Sells handcrafted fine jewelry made from Certified Fair Trade/Eco-Gold and Platinum and conflict-free diamonds.

So consider buying these items when you have a need for clothing, jewelry, lightbulbs etc.... It will send a message to the market that there is a need for non-extractive, safely and less environment destructive goods and hopefully lead companies to change some of their manufacturing processes.
