The Next Green Face of LUSH 2008

So I need everyone to vote for me in this contest. It's with my
favorite cosmetic company called LUSH. I have recently switched to all
their natural haircare and skincare products because I've always wanted
to and I finally decided that it was just better for the environment
& me! So everyone you know needs to vote for me .... please!

I forgot to include a few things that we do at home for being as
green as can be. So I wanted to add them here in case anyone needed
more of a reason to vote or tell everyone they know to vote as well.

I've exclusively breastfed Shane (saves on waste, carbon production, and water consumption)

At Shane's first birthday we expressly requested no new gifts. If
people wanted to get him something I suggested going to a second hand
store or looking on freecycle or re-gifting an old toy (several of are
friends did this!!!)

I take Chad to the train station instead of him driving into the city for work OR Chad will work from home most of the time.

For my garden in the spring I will have a rain barrel that will
collect the raifall and I'll use that water for the garden instead of
the hose.

We as a family are always trying to find ways to be greener. I hope
you think I'm worthy of your vote. If you don't care . . . vote anyway!
Follow the link and begin voting on April 7th through May 11th. You can
vote once a day . . . so if you don't want a daily reminder email from
me clogging up your in box remember to vote! I recommend setting the link as your homepage so you don't forget :)
