We have spring fever!! All the new blooms outside are making us anxious to get out and start our vegetable garden.  Earlier this week, we had the opportunity to talk with Josh Kirschenbaum from Territorial Seeds about starting a garden.  He shared some encouraging advice and suggestions for gardeners of all levels.   Josh inspired us to get out this weekend and put those first seeds in the ground.

Each spring, we celebrate the gains we have made in protecting our environment and create new visions to accelerate environmental progress. While the official Earth Day is April 22, I think every day is a time to act to protect our earth. Here at Tread Light Gifts, we are always finding new ways to give back to the earth while doing business. Some of the things we do throughout the year include:

• In our office and business, we employ eco-friendly practices by using recycled, recyclable, biodegradable, post-consumer, and/or all-natural materials, and using efficient energy, and minimal toxic chemicals whenever possible
• Purchasing carbon offsets for our company vehicle. While conservation (driving less, lowering the thermostat) is key to reducing carbon dioxide emissions, purchasing carbon offsets can balance out 100% of the emissions you can’t eliminate through conservation.
• Donating 1% of our annual revenues to environmental and social justice organizations. We take pride in knowing that as a company we are helping the earth become a better and safer place to live.

What will you do this year to protect our earth? There are many ways to get involved this Earth Day or any day. Check out the Earth Day Network to find events and others ways you can take action. Remember – The small things we can do everyday to leave a cleaner footprint can really make a difference on this planet for generations to come!

To celebrate everyone’s accomplishments in keeping the earth clean and green, we are giving away a Tread Light Gifts Super Green Snacker Kit. Organic popcorn, chocolate, nut mixes, and more – what’s not to love. This gift kit (gift basket) is packaged in our exclusive Tread Light Gifts 100% Organic Cotton Bag and completed with a no-waste, plantable gift tag.
