Have you heard of an exciting new treat around town? Get all the pleasure with out any guilt (green or otherwise!) Even better, Spoon Me will feature Mom-Ease as their "Keep the Change Charity" to keep us running. Mom ease gives them a thumbs up for doing a green renovation, non-toxic biodegradable cleaners, and eco-friendly fabrics for their apparel.

Bioneers is coming to Westminster College in Salt Lake City!
The theme, Sustainability: Bringing it all Home weaves together 15 extraordinary national speakers (via satellite), local workshops and keynotes, food, music, art, and plenty of time for conversation and connection. We will spend three rejuvenating days exploring the ways environmental, economic, and social justice questions play themselves out in our community, homes, and personal lives.

As you get ready for Halloween this year, why not think about healthier options for treats?  Boxes of raisins, apples, dried fruit, trail mixes and vegan chocolates are great ways to change. Stay away from the corn syrup. The older kids may complain, but the youngest won't know the difference. (Trust us, they will probably make up for it at school anyway.)

If you are really feeling ambitious you could talk to your neighbors about starting a change on your block. A group of you can get together and discuss healthier options (perhaps over homemade cider and pumpkin cookies).

Have a BOO-TIFUL halloween!
