    We Root for Earth: Valentine's Day Sustainable Gift Ideas

    Learn about the consumer waste typically produced on this holiday and what you can do differently.  Be an original gift giver and make your valentine feel special.  Check out all the great ideas we found to have a Valentine's Day that shows love to the Earth too.   Here are two of our favorite ideas: The “Slow Flowers” movement encourages people to buy in-season flowers from small, local growers in the United States and Canada. Instead of roses, you’ll find early-season blooms like tulips, lilac, and hyacinth, grown in protective greenhouse environments to ensure they’re looking their best and brightest. The Canopy Project, is a tree-planting campaign, to offer your loved one a bouquet of trees this Valentine’s Day. #sustainablegifts #sustainablevalentine #lovetheearth

    We Root for Earth Episode 25: Habitat Hotels Workshop

    After months of planning, our project is finally happening!  Hear about our first Habitat Hotels workshop which was a great success.  This workshop taught families the importance of pollinators, why non agressive bees need homes and how to build them.  The workshop was made possible by the support of our local library and by the grant money provided from EarthEcho International as part of our 2nd place win in the OurEcho Biodiversity Challenge. This is the last podcast for our first season but dont worry, we will be back in June to start season two.
