Spring is bittersweet! Beware of what lurks in your neighbors yard and garden!

Many people love spring...I love summer! The main reason I cringe every spring is due to the numerous ads for pesticides and fertilizers to keep your lawn free of weeds, make your flowers prettier, and veggies bigger. All of these ads for products fail to tell you the about the dangers of chemicals that are toxic to you, your pets and the environment. Especially vulnerable are young children and pregnant women and couples who are trying to conceive a child. The problem is you don't know what your neighbor is using and unless we start spreading the word about toxins in the lawn...they may be seeping into our vegetable gardens!! There are safer alternatives to lawn care and gardening. Don't be fooled by the numerous ads you see and hear on television or on the radio. They are so numerous in the spring I see or hear them everyday! This is quite an interesting quote from the article I came across..." Canada, and two U.S. states, Connecticut and New York, have enacted laws that just say no to weed 'n feed, Roundup, Sevin, at least (in the case of New York) on playing fields used by kids. Dozens of other products commonly sold in much of the U.S. Home Depot's 266 Canadian stores have removed all synthetic pesticides from their shelves, and the company president stated the retailer wanted "to be friends of the environment" in doing so. And while all those products are still sold in the U.S., Connecticut has taken the bold step of removing them from all school grounds in grades K-8." Now if every state would follow their lead...just think about how many toxins would be eliminated!!! I came across this articles which has lots of helpful info on keeping a healthy non-toxic lawn!!!21 Expert Organic Lawncare Tips. They also mention the book "The Organic Lawn Care Manual"....which I love!!! You can protect your pets and family by choosing non-toxic, organic products for your lawn and garden this year!!

Organic Easter Candy and Biodegradable Eggs!



Hard to believe this post was from 2 years ago! Brooke has her organic chocolate list for the Easter Bunny this time! Even more important this time around is to find candy that is free of GMOs. That is easily done by choosing organic. We all know the true meaning of Easter. To make it fun for kids who are too young to grasp the meaning....Easter Egg Hunts are a fun way for them to celebrate. There are Eco-Friendly ways to do this with Bio-degradable eggs that you can fill with Organic or Fair Trade Chocolates and Dye-Free Candy. I found them at The Natural Candy Store.com. They also have them at Eco Eggs.

You can also fill your basket with Bio-degradable grass instead of the plastic grass. I found it on amazon. They also have it at Party City...who would have guessed?

If you are still wanting more treats...Try Indie Candie, Sweet Earth Chocolates, Lake Champlain Chocolates, or Green and Blacks.

Now my sweet tooth is calling and I'm waiting for my Easter treats to arrive!!! If you try to make at least one aspect of your Easter Holiday Eco-Friendly, it can make a big difference. Happy Easter!!
