Making your life greener - one bite at a time.

St. Patrick's Day - celebrated worldwide by Irish people and increasingly by many of non-Irish descent (Usually in the US and Ireland) hence the phrase "Every one is Irish on St. Patrick's day". Celebrations are generally themed around all things green and Irish; both Christians and non-Christians celebrate the secular version of the holiday by wearing green, eating Irish food, imbibing Irish drink, and attending parades.

For Mothers’ Day, we look at greener and more practical ways to celebrate motherhood, and the work of carers. The earliest Mother's Day celebrations can be traced back to the spring celebrations of ancient Greece in honour of Rhea, the Mother of the Gods. 

Are you sick and tired of the commercialisation surrounding Easter and celebrations? For many people, Easter is just another commercial opportunity, benefiting greeting card and candy manufacturers. Unfortunately, most families’ Easter celebrations are orgies of excess packaging and unhealthy eating, tempting some to try to ignore it altogether.
