Green Living Blog

Every morning I log in to check my email and am greeted by my personalized yahoo page. I have chosen to filter a lot of information that greets me in the morning, deliberately focusing on updates, news, and tips that enrich and enhance my life. I wanted to share one particularly lovely blog with our Natural Living friends that Offer 'DAILY GREEN TIPS'. Here it is:

Planning is Underway for 2nd Annual Natural Living Festival Ideas Abound for this Year’s Fest!
Since Becki, Tiffani, and Shelly met in January to begin the festival’s organization, several exciting changes to this year’s event are already in the works. One, the festival’s focus is expanding to all of us with concern for our planet. Though a focus is still on being family-friendly, including many children’s activities, more adult themed events and information will be available as well.
“We are excited to expand our audience,” says Becki. “In this day and age, many people are concerned with natural living and ‘going green’ and this festival is a celebration of that lifestyle.”
Another exciting change to this year’s program is the involvement of non-profits. “We want to be more welcoming to those great organizations in our community that support an earthconscious lifestyle, such as Toledo Grows,” comments Shelly, who adds,“This year, we are not charging nonprofits to participate in the festival.” Continued events from last year include informational speaking on a variety of topics, children’s crafts, and a community garage sale. “We can’t wait!” says Tiffani.
