No point in having a dreary Earth Day, so spice things up this Tuesday with a few YERT videos! Whether you’re presenting Earth Day information to a school, getting together with friends, or even planning your own eco-film fest, we’d love to help you keep it entertaining. Consider this an open invitation to show YERT videos at your event– just do your best to let us know where you present them! We’d love to know how it goes…

And we think you’re likely to enjoy these particular vids:

Yesterday, Julie and I enjoyed a wonderful baby shower thrown by our dear friends Erin, Hunter, and Phill. We were truly blown away by how low-impact the event was (way to go Erin and company!) and everyone’s creativity in creating eco-conscious gifts. Among the many wonderful gifts were a wooden chest constructed out of house repair lumber leftovers and filled with all kinds of baby hand-me-downs and used books, a gorgeous homemade quilt, a hand-knit baby blanket and soaker, all manner of used books and baby onesies, and even a spectacular live 3-part a cappella performance of a personally arranged song. It was such a loving experience made that much more personal by the extreme care and inspired creativity of every guest present. If you want a wonderful baby shower, ask the people you love to make it a “clean” and “green” one and you won’t be disappointed. Thank you to everyone involved in the celebration - we love you dearly!
