World Environment Day

" Our Earth"

The Earth is ours to enjoy

For every little girl and boy.

But we must always be aware.

That all its beauty we must share

With all the children yet to come,

Who want to laugh and play and run 

Around the trees and in the fields.

So we must keep our planet free

From messy trash and debris

With air that's clean and fresh and clear

For all to breathe from year to year.

We must never ever abuse

Our sweet Earth that's ours to use.

JUST BLOOMED TODAY

GARDEN UPDATE
Kinda cooler today in the a.m. but heated up pretty quickly.Some pretty massive winds! Sure hope our fence hangs in there.


Starting to see the effects of the bananfanafofana we used a few days ago. It sure happens quickly- within a week.


Cut my rhubarb and harvested the larger branches, leaving the smaller ones at the base, giving the plant a chance to rest and just maybe we will have another round in August.


WORLD ENVIRONMENT DAY

Share Our Garden is proud to announce that they were recently honored by the United Nations Environment Programme for their participation in World Environment Day 2012.


What is World Environment Day?World Environment Day is an annual event that is aimed at being the biggest and most widely celebrated global day for positive environmental action.World Environment Day activities take place all year round but conclude on 5 June every year, involving everyone from everywhere.

World Environment Day celebration began in 1972 and has grown to become the one of the main vehicles through which the United Nations stimulates worldwide awareness of the environment and encourages political attention and action.

Through World Environment Day, the United Nations Environment Programme is able to personalize environmental issues and enable everyone to realize not only their responsibility, but also their power to become agents for change in support of sustainable and equitable development.

World Environment Day is also a day for people from all walks of life to come together to ensure a cleaner, greener and brighter outlook for themselves and future generations.

Everyone counts in this initiative and World Environment Day relies on you to make this happen! We call for action – organize a neighborhood clean-up, stop using plastic bags and get your community to do the same, plant a tree or better yet organize a collective tree planting effort, walk to work, start a recycling drive . . . the possibilities are endless.

Share Our Garden is totally committed to the earth and the recycling effort, so today, as well as promoting World Environment Day worldwide, we recycled cans and bottles at our recycling center, as well as using our cloth shopping bags and turning in plastic bags. We planted more flowers and shared ideas for more people to do the same. We are committed to these activities every day, not just once a year, and we encourage you, in your own way, to join us!

GARDEN GOODIES~SHARE OUR GARDEN RECYCLED CRAFT #004 HOMEMADE BUBBLE BLOWER AND BUBBLES
To celebrate World Environment Day by loving recycling, we are sharing a fun recycled craft- bubbles! Everyone loves bubbles and here is a way to make your own.

Bubble-Blower: Take a plastic pop bottle of any size and cut it off about 1- to 2-inches below the neck of the bottle. (It will look like a funnel). Save the bottom of the bottle for another project. You may decorate it or label ownership with a permanent marker. With the lid off, dip the other end (cut edge) of the bottle into bubble solution in a shallow pan and gently blow air through the neck of the bottle. You have an instant bubble blower. 


Bubbles: To make your own bubble mixture, start out with 1 1/2 cup of warm water. Add 3 tablespoons of light corn syrup or glycerin and stir well. If you do not have light corn syrup or glycerin, you can use white sugar! Just make sure you use 1 1/2 cups of hot water, add about 3 tablespoons of sugar and stir it until all of the sugar is completely dissolved. (The corn syrup, glycerin, or sugar helps the bubbles stick together better and last longer!) Now, add a 1/2 cup of dish soap and stir it carefully so your mixture does not get bubbly. For best results, use a quality dish soap! You may have to play with the measurements a little bit to get perfect bubbles!
