Announcing Green Week on Charm City Moms

earth

 

Today is Earth Day, of course, and in honor of the occasion, I'm announcing our first themed week on the blog -- Green Week. No, it's not this week. That's too soon for me to get it together predictable. And this way, our Green Week will coincide with next week's Baltimore Green Week, which kicks off this weekend with an Ecofestival and some other events.

I'm hoping that many of our regular features will have green themes, and I could use your help. Do you have:

--Questions for a green Monday Consult?

--A green-themed post for Father's Day Tuesday consideration that you dads could offer up by email, complete with a picture of you with your adorable kids?

--Ideas for a green Tip Sheet Thursday?

I've already got a "green" Dinner Together recipe to try, but welcome your ideas on the food front, too.

What else would you like to see covered during CCM's Green Week?

I would love to see a list of all natural, bio-degradeable shampoos for children, where when we hear the ingredients we actually know what it is, yet still tear-free (rules out my favorite brand Dr. Bronners), non-potentially carcinogenic (rules out Johnson & Johnson, but chemical ingredients rule them out anyway), and allergy-tested (rules out California Baby). Unless I am wrong about any of them above? Thanks for any insight.
