We had a great kick-off for Linden Hills EcoParents on Tuesday, Oct 14! Thanks to all those who came to learn more about EcoParents, as well as share your experiences, preferences, and visions for this exciting project. I was thrilled to see folks both from Linden Hills as well as from outside the neighborhood, those who are parents and those without kids, and a DAD (although we'd love more dads!).
Attendees to the kick-off event received a lovely reusable bag with our gorgeous logo - FAIR-TRADE, organic canvas, and produced locally - and filled with resources and coupons. A special thanks to Bob Bayers of Bayer's Do-it-Best Hardware for donating coupons for $5 a package of compact fluorescent lightbulbs (CFLs)!
I am busy tabulating the results of the survey (administered at the kick-off and on-line) Click Here to take survey) to determine the best dates/time and topics for our next meeting. Check back soon!

About Linden Hills EcoParents
Linden Hills EcoParents is a neighborhood-based group learning together about environmental issues and sustainable living in an intimate, substantive, and ongoing manner. EcoParents meetings consist of in-depth education about a specific issue (e.g., improving recycling, non-toxic cleaners, household hazardous waste, green gifts, etc…), followed by a range of specific action steps that can be implemented at the household level, and supplemented with information posted on this blog.
Please note: You do not have to live in Linden Hills nor be a parent to participate in EcoParents! EcoParents is open to anyone interested in learning about environmental issues.
Linden Hills EcoParents was started as a project of the Linden Hills Neighborhood Council, and was generously supported by the Hendry Family Foundation, the Linden Hills Environment Committee, and the Linden Hills Co-op.
