Every year, huge quantities of trash find their way into our rivers. This garbage takes away from the natural beauty of the river and pollutes the water, wildlife, nature, and communities that it sustains. America’s rivers provide our drinking water, fish and wildlife habitat, and recreation areas—making the health of our rivers everyone’s priority. Clean rivers supply a healthy, vital source of water that is essential for a thriving community and environment.
You can make a difference in the health of our rivers by helping to restore a river in your local area, either through participation or organization of a river cleanup. Check out these great tips for organizing or participating in a river clean up in your area at Cascadian Farm.
It is officially summer in Florida – and by summer I mean 90Âş weather, EVERY day. I am not complaining, I am jumping up-and-down happy! However, I am ready for Eben to be out of school for summer vacation. I keep finding myself staring out the window at the flecks of sunshine on the pond in our backyard – daydreaming of the summer days to come. I can’t wait, an entire summer with Eben and the beach – what could be better?
24 days to go…and counting. Can I make it?
Are you ready for summer break with your kids? What summer activities do you have planned?
Hello, Friends! Are you excited for the weekend? I think it is going to be so much fun. I love Mother’s Day, it is always so festive at our home! It’s lovely being a Mom, no?
Let’s kick off Mother’s Day weekend with a few green things that I have wanted to share with you:
Hello Friends. Today’s Earth Day Giveaway Week giveaway is sponsored by Spoonk Space. One lovely winner will receive an eco-friendly Spoonk Acupressure Mat and carrying case! What better to start and end your day than with the natural stress reliever, acupressure.
Spoonk Space is an eco-conscious company that was created to spread the passion for a natural way to alleviate stress-related problems. With the pressures of daily life constantly piling on and little time for rest, people are increasingly neglecting the well being of their tired bodies and minds, leaving them with intolerably high stress levels.
Spoonk’s acupressure mats are based on the principles of the Indian bed of nails and Japanese shiatsu massage. Its 6,210 small spikes stimulate specific reflex points throughout the body to release blocked energy, ease tense muscles, and create deep mental and physical relaxation. All you have to do is lay on the mat, make sure the part of your body that needs relaxing is on it and the spikes help to stimulate blood circulation causing those “good feeling” hormones to surge!
The Spoonk acupressure eco-mat is an all-natural product. Spoonk consists of a 100% organic hemp cover, recyclable non-toxic ABS plastic spikes, and eco-foam created with Variable Pressure Foaming™ technology that has a 5-year warranty. Spoonk is GOTS certified (Global Organic Textile Standard) which recognizes them as a company that meets a high level of environmental criteria for organic textiles and requires them to be in compliance with social responsibility.
I like to lay on my Spoonk mat as I read in bed at night. After a few minutes, I feel this fantastic HEAT sensation that completely relaxes me. After laying on my Spoonk mat for around 20 minutes, the tension and stiffness that I usually feel at the end of the day (after sitting at my desk for hours) is gone! It has helped me fall asleep quicker than usual too. Fantastic.
Check out what Spoonk Space has to offer and leave a comment here. This giveaway will end on May 6th – please tell your friends and family so they don’t miss out on the fun!
