Planning a wedding? Want to be as environmentally friendly as possible? Here is a great book to help you plan...

Book Description:
Add Style to Your Wedding and Stay True to Your Beliefs

Planning your wedding can be the best time to be eco-friendly. The wedding industry has a huge impact on the global economy and the environment, as wedding parties spend over $125 billion a year in the U.S. alone. Eco-Chic Weddings presents the quick, simple, and easy-to-follow tips you need to make your wedding socially responsible. This indispensable guide gives you the choice, comfort, and chance to share your own unique style for a truly memorable wedding.

Going green doesn’t mean you need to spend the green. Eco-Chic Weddings provides all the resources you need to create your environmentally friendly and fun celebration on a budget, such as:

* Use in-season flowers to save on price and reduce the environmental cost of shipping in non-local flowers.
* Skip the save-the-date card and save some trees–and a lot of hassle.
* Don’t purchase items you will only use at the wedding; instead, invest in dresses, shoes, or glassware you will alter and reuse.

From the location to the dress to the menu, there are dozens of easy ways to make your wedding beautiful and still reflect your personal beliefs in sustainable living. Eco-Chic Weddings will show you how to craft your perfect day.

All canvas bags are not created equal! Certified organic 10 oz cotton tote that is great as a shopper or a book bag. 16 (inches) wide x 15.5 high with a 5 inch full bottom gusset and 22 inch over-the-shoulder handles. Stuff several into one bag and keep them in your car for your next shopping trip. Easier to carry than a million plastic bags, and these bags will be in your family for years. The average plastic bag takes 125 years to degrade. There are over 100 billion plastic shopping bags used in the United States each year. Less than 1% are recycled.

Wow, this is a great idea! I've just discovered this and what a fantastic way to grow your own organic herbs, vegetables and more. They have a huge description that explains everything, click on the Amazon link to read it through, it's very interesting.

After I read the book, Fast Food Nation, I'm more aware of our foods, how they are prepared and the harm it's doing to us. This is a great alternative!

Here is the short description...

The Full daylight spectrum allows you to grow anywhere with no natural sunlight needed while being energy efficient. The Plug & Grow Bio-Dome Seed System has 100% Germination Guaranteed.

The Secret (Hardcover)

First to recommend

4 people recommended this item

Description

I've seen the movie and have just finished the book and it's changed my life. Now you may be thinking this is just another self help book or not into these things. But I was amazed by the movie and this book has been a nice extension of the movie.

Basically, it's all about The Law of Attraction. If this is a new to you, I highly recommend taking a look. It's basically a different way of looking at things, changing the way you feel about your life and your life situations.

The book includes authors of such books as Chicken Soup for the Soul and Women are from Mars, Men are from Venus and countless others.

I hope you enjoy it as much as I did and spread the message, we need more positive things in our lives! Everyone does.

Here's the book description for more information:
Fragments of a Great Secret have been found in the oral traditions, in literature, in religions and philosophies throughout the centuries. For the first time, all the pieces of The Secret come together in an incredible revelation that will be life-transforming for all who experience it.

In this book, you'll learn how to use The Secret in every aspect of your life -- money, health, relationships, happiness, and in every interaction you have in the world. You'll begin to understand the hidden, untapped power that's within you, and this revelation can bring joy to every aspect of your life.

The Secret contains wisdom from modern-day teachers -- men and women who have used it to achieve health, wealth, and happiness. By applying the knowledge of The Secret, they bring to light compelling stories of eradicating disease, acquiring massive wealth, overcoming obstacles, and achieving what many would regard as impossible. (via The Law of Attraction)
