We're having a little potluck party this week, for Xmas I guess and I've been trying to find something unique.. found some awesome ideas at this <a href="http://www.potluckrecipes.net/potluck/desserts/" rel="nofollow">potluck recipe </A> site. You know, someone should invent a website where you can write what you'll be taking, and it would check no one brings the same thing! Thanks for that.

I do make efforts to conserve. I also inform others of ways they can conserve. My family has cattle & hog farms. We also have crops. Ever heard the phrase "everbody do your share." I rest well at night after eating a steak that was raised on our farm. I ate this steak on a real plate, I didn't run to the store to purchase it, so I didnt use fuel, no plastic bag from the store. I just want all the meat eaters out there to know that when you purchase your meats, and other foods locally you can help to conserve. I think that it is important that people do a little. Our chances of making a huge difference are greater when we ask others to make small changes that can still somewhat fit their currnet life. Everyone doing a little adds up to a lot. So, what Im saying is support your local farmers and you will save the fuel from huge cattle farms to transport meats. I dont believe that the big production cattle farms are a good thing. Our cows are put out to pasture, they are healthy, happy, and our livleyhood. I for one cannot look into the eyes of my father in law and see his overworked hands, broken back, sore feet and tell him that what he is doing is wrong. His entire life he has slaved to feed his family with this meat and crop. He is up at the crack of dawn working hard till dusk to take care of his land and animals. It is everything to him and I for one will not believe that it is wrong. Ive never met another person that cares for the land the way that he does. I support that. Im not trying to get "nasty". Im just trying to make the point that farming isnt all wrong. I totally agree in conserving this beautiful earth. I will use cloth instead of paper. I wont buy disposable picnic wear. When God blesses me with children I will make there food from our gardens and use reusable diapers. I will be sensible with my fuel using trips to town wisley. These are things that I can do and if i can do it trust me anyone can! Thank you Sara for your post! I am no expert on “green living”. I do make efforts to conserve.

Weeeeee! Another fun for a little girl's birthday is to go a thrift store and get inexpensive tea cups, etc. and throw a little tea party. Then, for the favor, all the girls get to take home their own little tea set to play with at home. Recycled, earth friendly, fun! :) Yes, Kristi...I had seen that article, but re-reading it was good. Thanks for sharing it, it's really crazy. Happy Early Birthday!! Weeeeee!

Barkat Thu, 05 Jul 2007 20:30:58 +0000 http://walkslowlylivewildly.com/2007/06/30/earth-party/#comment-3416 How about an Earth birthday party? (I've got one coming up this Saturday.) A few years ago, I decided that there were no rules about using paper or plastic plates at a party. Now we just use the china and our silverware. Funny too... it feels like we are doing something real together. How about an Earth birthday party? (I’ve got one coming up this Saturday.)

I can't wait to throw my own - I am thinking of even making jam as favors. Made with locally grown berries (goes hand in hand with my local food month challenge).
