The Politics of Species Protection in Alaska

Posted by W2G


—————————————-

According to Green Inc.,

“The State of Alaska is stepping up efforts to fight a pair of recent listings under the Endangered Species Act — and proceeding cautiously with the reintroduction of a third species to the state — arguing that federal protections are unwarranted and likely to hurt the local economy.”

Green Graduations

Posted by W2G

How to Make Graduation Green:

You have finally made it! Congratulations from Welcome2Green! As you prepare to celebrate your graduation, why not consider making sure the graduation-related events are green. Kick of this new chapter in your life by celebrating with friends and family, without sacrificing your eco-friendly commitment; or take this opportunity to make a new commitment to green.

Green Themed Graduation Party: Here is your chance to celebrate green. Consider making green the theme of your graduation activities. Start by sending out an eco-friendly eVite. eVites cost nothing and use nothing - perfectly green. eVites may not be an option for everyone on your guest list; try invitations made from recycled or organic materials.

Pear Tree Greetings

Going solar is another eco-friendly idea for your green themed graduation party. Have your party during the time when the sun is out. Using the sun to light your green graduation party will save lots of energy. If you want to party into the night, try using solar powered lights to light the way. This eco-friendly alternative to standard lighting is a perfect way to green your graduation activities. For a more personal touch, and additional lighting, you can also try naturally made candles.

Third, eat organic. Food for your guests offers a great opportunity to green your graduation party. Organic food is good for you, good tasting, and good for the environment. Because of its growth in popularity, organic food can be found in most grocery stores. You can green your graduation party from the appetiser, through the main course, and on to desert, by offering organic food items. Do you have to have meat to eat? Understood. Try fish as an greener alternative to beef.

So, you have your multi-course, organic, meal planned. What do you eat on? Number four, no disposable dinnerware. If your green graduation party is going to be a large venue, there are places you can rent enough dinnerware to supply all your guests. Not only is real dinnerware a great green alternative to disposable, but it will add a bit of class to your eco-party.

Recycle, recycle, recycle! Why have waste containers when you can have recycling containers at your green graduation party? If you implement the strategies above for greening your graduation party, you will have little to no waste; no paper plates, no plastic cups, no plastic utensils, even the food (organic) should be mostely compostable - very green. So, replace those trash cans with eco-friendly recycling cans, and make the most of your green graduation celebration. Now that is green!

Green graduation gifts: Let’s get to the important stuff, huh - gifts! Green graduation gifts are great to give and to recieve. Eco-friendly gifts show that you care. Set a good green example by considering giving some of these eco-friendly, all-natural gifts:

Send Organic Roses
Organic Flowers & Gourmet Gifts

Great digital magazines under $10!

Organic Beauty Products
