   Mom could defintiely get on board with this!  Fun way to turn-around environmental damage.  I'm trying to bring awareness by
   spreading the word on the winners of the Tomorrows World video contest:  http://www.tomorrowsworldcompetition.com/   They
   had a competition over videos about water efficiency and flooding.
   Living off the West Coast, it's a very real worry of mine.  I think the
   winners did a great job! Check out their work and forward the link if
   you like it.

   Here's an idea for a greener Mother's Day. Instead of actually buying her something that is eventually going into the trash, why not buy and experience? Art Museums? The zoo? Even a park, or a walk in the park? These are all experiences and time you could be spending with dear old mom.
   I know the Seattle Art Museum is even having a special where mom's get in for free on Mom's Day, as I'm sure there are lots of places that are giving extra perks for just being a mom that are at discounted prices and better yet involving things that don't create the trash afer.http://www.seattleartmuseum.org/calendar/eventDetail.asp?eventID=16587&SAMintranet=TRUE

   When we celebrate Mother's Day, we would do well to remember that it was originally Mother's Peace Day, founded by anti-war activist Julia Ward Howe.  With this in mind, it seems appropriate to honor our mothers, (and Mother Earth), by working to make the world a more peaceful place.  After all, the pursuit of modern warfare is one of our most environmentally destructive occupations.
