Green Tip: Buy Local
You can ‘green’ your meetings and events simply by purchasing from local business; it supports the community where you’re holding your event while reducing your carbon footprint.
Sprouts is a local Florida company that provides custom marketing and promotional pieces made from 100% recycled eco-friendly plantable seed paper. The bookmarks they donated to us were also printed with soy ink. The paper is handmade with no toxic chemicals and is embedded with top quality flower seeds. When planted, Sprouts plantable seed paper will naturally biodegrade and beautiful flowers will grow.
Sprouts is determined to help increase the natural habitat and food supply of honeybees by planting bee-friendly species of plants. Sprouts introduced its “Bee Kind” campaign in 2008, in an effort to help combat colony collapse disorder and raise awareness for the honeybee.
Sprouts offers a variety of fine plantable seed paper products such as holiday cards, gift tags, and the bookmarks they donated to GMIC to help us mark the launch of our ‘Green it Forward Lending Library where you can Share a Book ~ Save a Tree.
Pearls of Wisdom from the Green Goddess

By Sharon Quercioli from the May 2010 issue of Our Wonderful World
After the cold winter frosts melt away, the earth is renewed with life. Landscapes are lush and green, and springtime inspires feeling of being alive again. It’s the prefect time to rekindle a relationship with a friend or discover a new outdoor hobby, such as gardening.
Whether you grow flowers or herbs, the most important tip is to keep harsh chemicals away from your plants because they not only harm the environment, but your family and home as well. A great alternative to hazardous chemicals are therapeutic-grade Essential Oils. The following tips come straight from the experts at the Young Living Lavender Farm in Mona, Utah and will help you learn how to use essential oils in your own garden.
Putting 1-3 drops of oregano, basil, or thyme essential oil in a 24-ounce spray bottle full of water can be as effective as a bug repellant. For an even more effective solution, blend a clove of garlic and add it to the solution along with 2 teaspoons of insecticidal soap, which can be found at a garden store. Spray solution on or near infected plants. (Note: for best results put the soap in as your final ingredient.)
Lavender Essential Oil works as a soil amendment to improve growing conditions for your plants. At the Young Living Farm in Mona, they have found that lavender is a great compost material. The late winter, during the dormant period of a plant’s life, is a great time to prune and put out compost. In the early spring, it will be easier to incorporate the compost into the soil.
Cinnamon and Thieves Essential Oils act as organic alternatives for getting rid of weeds. Take care to apply them only to the weeds, as these powerful and potent oils may harm your vulnerable plants.
Remember that gardening is hard work, yet fun and rewarding. Be willing to sweat in the heat, dig through the dirt, fight weeds and bugs, but also remember to enjoy the warmth of the sun, the richness of the soil, and the splendor of life and beauty.
