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.

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.
