Okay, so it’s January.

The truth is, time got away from me.

The whirlwind of Green Halloween didn’t end with the beginning of November and needless to say, it’s still going!

But here’s the good news: my New Year’s pledge is to keep you in-the-loop with the latest and greatest tips, tricks, updates and ideas – but there’s a twist. From February through August, I’ll be blogging on our parent site, www.CelebrateGreen.net.

Be sure to visit us there for everything you need to know (and a few things you just might want to know) on greening up all of your holidays and special occasions.

To sweeten the deal, I have a very special gift for you: Right now, Green Halloween’s newsletter subscribers can receive one copy of our book, Celebrate Green! at 40% off.

Want more? When you purchase your copy you’ll receive a cool ChicoBag for FREE.

And here’s the icing on the already sweet cake. Our books are sold with the option of having a tree planted for $1 through EcoLibris. When you do, you’ll get a nifty sticker to place in a special spot on the back of your book. (Celebrate Green! is printed on 100% post-consumer waste recycled, FSC certified paper, but we think tree planting is a good idea, don’t you?)

Interested? Sign up for the Green Halloween newsletter today (top of the homepage) and receive the secret link in an upcoming edition.

Signing off (until August) or should I say, “signing over” -

Don’t mess with parents going green!

That was the message – heard loud and clear, I’m sure! – to a Seattle PI blogger who challenged Green Halloween’s motives, worth and efficacy.

I can only say, “thank you” to those of you who took the time and energy to write a reply to the blogger. I was so touched and inspired by your show of support for our initiative. Your responses were wonderful – all positively and eloquently illuminating the facts without bashing the poor guy, who obviously never expected such an en mass retort (as evidenced by his own reply later on).

While I certainly didn’t agree with what the blogger had to say, I do agree with him on this: “messing” with tradition may ruffle some feathers, but a good debate brings to the forefront important issues of our time.

I’m thrilled to be a part of the conversation and grateful that you have been too.
