EMAIL: AnnaAndAva@gmail.com or call: 510.406.1625

This "hero" needs a little help from area businesses, non-profit groups, individuals, anyone who is willing to host a collection container to collect plastic caps and lids. Our Earth needs a hero. Won't YOU be a hero today. (I can't do it all alone.) I will refer your business as a collection point for the public to drop off plastic caps and lids.

Residents all over the Bay Area are interested in collecting these plastic items for recycling. Curbside recycle companies usually do not accept this type of plastic. Go ahead, call your local waste management organization and learn the facts today. Once you learn the facts, doesn't it just make you feel like going GREEN?

Amazing to see all that would have otherwise gone to landfill. Imagine what we can do if more people become inspired. This is one person making a difference. It all begins with one person. Won't you please join us? Email: AnnaAndAva@gmail.com.

I'm so impressed with the spirit of our community. Overnight, a hundred people have emailed me to begin this collection effort.

Thank you all - each and every ONE of you. Earth Day is Every Day.

Thank you for your help!

Ava and I are delivering cans for collecting caps. Thank you in advance for your helping any way you can! Happy Earth Day - Every Day. (510) 406-1625 or AnnaAndAva@gmail.com.

From Aveda's website:
"This program educates students and underscores the impact of
positive change.

This project teaches students that we are all responsible for
taking care of our environment. It empowers us all to stimulate
change on a local and national level. And beyond the benefits of
environmental conservation, it teaches students that when we all
work together with a common purpose, we can effect change."

How awesome!

Volunteers Needed This Sunday, March 7th

A friend, Edi Birsan has asked me to blog about this event.

Volunteers Needed This Sunday, March 7th! School Supply Initiative's Third and Final 1.7 Million Dollar Assembly

CLICK HERE for flyer and info.

Perhaps our community can lend a hand and be inspired to help. Many of these backpacks are being distributed to children in Concord schools too. All they're asking is for volunteers to assemble backpacks stuffed with school supplies. Easy way to do good for someone. I wish their efforts success!

A little inspiration for teachers today...

Even amidst budget cuts and education woes, we are still a community that must nurture our young. If I were a teacher, I'd write a 250 word essay...and get lost in my thoughts. I hope and dream for a better tomorrow. CLICK HERE to be inspired. $10,000.

Happiness held is the seed; happiness shared is the flower...

Good Morning Sunshine and friends of The Lemon Lady,

A simple request. Please save gallon milk jugs. Rinse them thoroughly after use, and save the lids too. My gardening project can leap to greater bounds if I have more milk jugs. I'm growing and inspiring others to grow all over Concord, Clayton, Walnut Creek and Alamo.

Seedlings are being supplied to four community gardens, so I can always use more help with my volunteer seedling donation project. For those who don't have time to volunteer...how about saving a few milk jugs for me? Thank you kindly.

Happy Gardening and Sweet Lemonade.
