Oooh! Baby Its Cold Outside! Welcome back to the Greener Blog! Its been a while since we have conversed, but don't worry, we will be rectifying that situation from here on out!
Since it has been since summertime that our last blog was posted, I wanted to share this interesting blog with you about 6 ways to stay warm in the winter as green as possibly, and also a link to The Salvation Army about how you can donate your gently used coats, blankets and clothing, so that others can also stay warm too!
This link is posted by Eco Friendly and offers 6 ways to save the environment and money while keeping your home nice and toasty throughout the winter months:

This is a link to the Salvation Army Website where you can schedule a pickup of your donation items or find out about local drop off spots: http://www.use.salvationarmy.org/use/www_use.nsf/vw-text-dynamic-arrays/B126E05AEAE85714802572E300062069?openDocument&charset=utf-8
To give you an update about where Planet Connections Theater Festivity is at the moment, we are having our first Leadership meeting this Sunday! Very excited about starting up for 2012, which looks like its going to be a very big year! We are already starting to check out new partnerships, and opportunities, and we are taking suggestions!
I have come across a wonderful little secret of a catalog called "Uncommon Goods". This catalog features great gifts that are made from recycled and sustainable resources! They have creative gift ideas and you can rest assured that your purchase is Earth-Friendly. Find them here: http://www.uncommongoods.com/
If you have come across a company that you, your family or your friends is part of, or that you regularly buy products from, please let us know! We are particularly focused this year on American Charities or Companies that are focused on people of minimal fortune in the USA. Although we are definitely not X-ing any company that seeks to provide improvement to the conditions to those in need in other countries, I think Home is a good place to start!
I realize that may sound a bit selfish, as there are needy people all over the world, and I may make some people angry by trying to focus our energies on the roots of this society, but I know from an experience I had as a seven year old, caught in a riptide in California, that a drowning person cannot save another drowning person. Only a person who has complete control of their faculties and senses can reach out their hand to pull you out of the depths and onto dry land.
We will be seeing you soon! We definitely appreciate the comments!
