Why did the mother cat move her kittens?*

Because she didn't want to litter!

"Children are our most valuable natural resource."

For those of you with kids, I found this great site to teach kids about the environment from Canada.  I searched a little more and found that in these here United States, we also have a site brought to you by the EPA.

“Utility is when you have one telephone, luxury is when you have two, opulence is when you have three - and paradise is when you have none.”

I came across this today: Living it up while going green (originally form Forbes).  

It humored me.  

Here's a link for the rest of us, who don't have to worry about the carbon emissions of your private jet or what kind of Escalade you buy - Go Green, Save Money.

“Hope is the only bee that makes honey without flowers.”

Let's plant some flowers...

Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD) is becoming quite the buzz word these days (yeah I know, lame).  If you are at all like me, you are asking, "What can I do to help?"  Burt's Bees had previously been giving away seed packets to plant to create a more welcoming, healthy environment for bees.  They have run out of seed packets, but they do list the types of flowers that they say bees dig.  They are: Calendula, Shasta Daisy, Lance-Leaved Coreopsis, Purple Cone Flower, & Sweet William Catchfly.  There are many places that have blends that include these flowers.  Victory Seeds is one of those places...  The Northeast or North American Wildflower Mixes seemed to contain most or all of the flowers listed above.

Be on the look out for a curly brown haired girl sprinkling seeds like fairy dust throughout New Haven in the near future.
