Earth Day Inspired: Party Favors

Here's a party favor that I would actually enjoy giving and receiving. Little vegetable or herb starter kits, the gift that keeps on giving.

well said.

"I beg young people to travel. If you don’t have

 a passport, get one. Take a summer, get a

 backpack and go to Delhi, go to Saigon, go to

 Bangkok, go to Kenya. Have your mind blown.

 Eat interesting food. Dig some interesting

 people. Have an adventure. Be careful. Come

 back and you’re going to see your country

differently, you’re going to see your president

differently, no matter who it is. Music, culture,

food, water. Your showers will become shorter.

You’re going to get a sense of what

globalization looks like. It’s not what Tom

Friedman writes about; I’m sorry. You’re going

to see that global climate change is very real.

And that for some people, their day consists of

walking 12 miles for four buckets of water. And

so there are lessons that you can’t get out of a

book that are waiting for you at the other end

of that flight. A lot of people—Americans and

Europeans—come back and go, ohhhhh. And the

light bulb goes on."

will need: high fences

it might just be me, but if i have the option of using an outdoor shower, i'll take it! Why is that? Reader beware: need high fences and some tall boxwoods.

think outside the registry

wedding season is approaching! i am going to try to keep up with my "no-buying-a-gift-from-the-registry" rule. I like my gifts to be creative and personal, so here's an idea that i like: personalized cutting boards
