A Healthy Planet Begins With You
Healthy Child
Tuesday, March 31, 2009
In honor of Earth Month, we're asking for you to share your best advice by submitting a very short video to our Healthy Begins Here contest.
How do YOU create a cleaner, greener, safer home?
Get started by visiting the new Health eHome, an interactive tool we created with WebMD to help you find easy ways to protect the planet and your health. Maybe you learn something new or maybe you're way ahead of us and have something better to offer. Whether it's your great grandma demonstrating her old school chemical-free cleaning tricks or your dog taking out the recycling - send us a video under 2 minutes that shows us how you protect your little piece of the planet. Do whatever you do, but do it refreshingly different. Make it fun.
Actually, having fun is the Golden Rule of our contest (read the other rules on our website). Going green and living healthier doesn't need to be complicated, or a hassle, or a sacrifice. Talking about it shouldn't be doom and gloom or wrapped in contrived morality. It should be fun. And it CAN be fun (especially if you get your kids, or pets, or eccentric relatives involved). If you're having fun doing it, people are going to have fun watching you, and hopefully then they'll try it too. And that's the point. We want you to inspire others to do whatever they can to protect their home, their health, and the planet.
*And, if you make a video of yourself doing what you do, you can win fabulous prizes - generously donated by Seventh Generation:
The GRAND PRIZE winner will receive an Apple 8G iPod Touch pre-loaded with Seventh Generations Label Reading Guide application in addition to a year’s supply of Seventh Generation home care and cleaning products and a copy of the Healthy Child Healthy World book and DVD. FIRST PRIZE will receive a Flip Ultra digital video camera, a Seventh Generation Living Home Starter Kit and a copy of the Healthy Child Healthy World book and DVD. The eight runners-up will receive a Seventh Generation Living Home Cleaning Kit.
In addition, these videos will be used to educate and inspire thousands of other people! Going green never felt better.
What are you waiting for? A healthy planet begins with you (and we’re only accepting submissions until 12am/PST April 19th. We can’t wait to see what you can do!

This is a really good read. I must admit that you are one of the best blogs I’ve seen. Thanks for posting this informative article.

I provide a Green Home Child Care in Plainfield, IL. The children in my care and my own practice Reduce, Reuse, Recycle on a daily basis. We conserve energy, recycle packaging, purchase recycled toys, seek reusable toys, eat organic, grow organic, raise butterflies, vermicompost….....it has all become second nature to these kids ranging in age from 2 to 5!! I can’t wait to see what new ideas they can come up with as they grow green!!
