Surprising recyclables

Thanks to Green Amer­ica for an infor­ma­tive arti­cle about dif­fer­ent items that might not be on your radar for recy­cling. Read on and see if you can help keep these things out of a landfill.

A greener Valentine’s Day

Look­ing for some­thing dif­fer­ent for your valen­tines this year? Global Vil­lage Col­lec­tion in down­town Delaware, the non­profit Fair Trade retailer, has some unique offer­ings — all served with a side of social jus­tice. Pur­chas­ing fairly-traded items ben­e­fits not just your sweet­ies, but also those try­ing to make a liv­ing and improve their communities.

Sowing the seeds of our food sovereignty

This is the theme of the Ohio Eco­log­i­cal Food and Farm Association’s (OEFFA) 33rd con­fer­ence. Held at Granville’s Mid­dle and High Schools on Feb. 17–19, the con­fer­ence will fea­ture inter­est­ing and infor­ma­tive work­shops, speak­ers and more.

Winter farmers’markets

If, like me, you are miss­ing the farm­ers mar­ket sea­son when we are this deep into win­ter, don’t despair. There are sev­eral options for indoor mar­kets in our area. Take a field trip and dis­cover the treats and trea­sures in all of them — an activ­ity that is sure to tan­ta­lize your senses and warm your stomach.

Making my own baby food

You’ll never guess what I got for Christ­mas — OK, I’ll tell you. As requested, my fam­ily bought me a Baby Bul­let — the baby cousin of the Magic Bul­let. For those of you not famil­iar with the Bul­let, it’s basi­cally a small, easy-to-use blender. The Baby Bul­let comes with a com­plete “make-your-own-baby-food” stor­age sys­tem. It’s cute, cool and convenient.

‘Time to make a fresh start’ New Year’s suggestions

It’s that time of year again — time to con­sider what new habits you will resolve to prac­tice in the New Year. It’s time to make a fresh start. I like to call my res­o­lu­tions New Year Sug­ges­tions. Maybe it makes me feel less guilty when I don’t accom­plish them like I thought I would. On the other hand, maybe it helps me incor­po­rate the new ideas into my life because I really don’t like being told what to do, even if it is by my own self!

The gift that keeps giving year round

Still search­ing for that spe­cial gift for some­one on your list? How about a mag­a­zine? Even chil­dren enjoy get­ting some­thing in the mail each month and a mag­a­zine is a way to keep the gifts com­ing all year long.

Think outside the box for gifts this year

It’s time to think out­side the box this year. Take your tra­di­tional idea of gift-giving and spin it on its head. This won’t be hard. Who says a gift needs be an object? Why not think about services—especially those right here in our own community.
