Cedar Dog here
My favorite event is this weekend, EarthWorks 2008 Expo, June 21st and 22nd. This is a super-duper eco-extravaganza you won't want to miss. I sent my Mom last year and she came back with so many ideas we are still sorting them out. If you live in Colorado or anywhere in the West plan to attend. It is Denver's largest green-living event of 2008.
This is the really cool part, it is a Zero-Waste event. That means they will be recycling all of the materials back into nature or the marketplace, showing us how to be good stewards of the earth. The Expo's Top Dog, Michael Lindemann explains, "Recycling and composting ‘waste' reduces greenhouse gas emissions and the need for new landfills." Like I say in my book "the earth's health and our own are interconnected. That's why I wrote Doggone Green to show pets 'n their people just how easy it is to go green."
Waste-Not Recycling of Loveland, Colorado (www.waste-not.com) is overseeing the management of resource conservation ensuring items normally sent to the landfill will be rescued and sent for recycling or composting. Most of the disposable products, such as compostable hot and cold cups, eating utensils and 100 percent recycled paper towels and toilet tissue, have been supplied by Eco-Products of Boulder, Colorado (www.ecoproducts.com). The items are free of inks, dyes and fragrances.
This is the deal. Find a way to get your pets parents to attend. This is an event not to be overlooked. I have a link below for tickets. My dog buds will not be able to come as I had to get special permission to have a booth. You see Mom won't show up and talk about Doggone Green without me. Hooray for Mom!
Remember, there is power-in-paws. Given our numbers, 75 million dogs and 88 million cats in U.S. homes, just think of what we can do. That's a lot of pets! Count on us to help our humans resolve oddles of green issues. Pets the work begins with us. We can snoop open minds, one paw-step at a time. We'll send your people home with Doggone Green Actions for your "pack" to do, to share and to teach. Then take my Woof of Honor and join me as a Doggone Green Crusader.
Tail Waggin' Love,
