Earth Day is now Earth Month?!
Earth Day is coming up April 22, but you might not know it by the way the entire month of April has been filled with environment-related events.It's all good, though. And actually, it seems to me more and more that environmentally friendly articles and other news items are showing up all year round, not just near Earth Day.
Like a pair of new DVDs that came out a few weeks ago -- last month: Playhouse Disney's Handy Manny show, with a DVD called Manny's Green Team, and Schoolhouse Rock! Earth.
Every kid's favorite handyman, Handy Manny, solves problems that come up in a way that's better for the environment -- like building a bridge where a bike path is supposed to go to save a turtle nest and using solar power to help a friend advertise his business. The Green Team DVD also includes bonus material like a printable checklist to take green steps around your house and a fun recycling game -- “Livin’ La Vida Verde." (Don't you love it?!)
And if you're old enough to remember watching the original Schoolhouse Rock on TV, you can share a new green version of it with your kids with Schoolhouse Rock! Earth. The creators of the original series -- and some familiar voices and characters -- showcase fun original tunes about saving water or creating a "tiny urban zoo." From the tropical rainforest to the North Pole, kids will learn about environmental issues facing the world and steps they can take to save the planet, all in a fun way.You could win one of these DVDs! The nice folks at ABC / Disney have provided a copy of each for me to give away! Just leave a comment and mention something you've learned about the environment this year, what you're doing for Earth Day (Earth Month!) or what you do to reduce / reuse / recycle. Mention which DVD you'd be interested in (you can say both if you'd like either one), and I'll randomly draw two winners on Friday.
Update: We have winners!
MamaGeek at What Works for Us was the first commenter, so she wins the Handy Manny DVD.
And Heather at Cool Zebras was the second commenter, so she wins the Schoolhouse Rock DVD.
Congrats!

My guy LOVES Handy Manny (even more than Elmo - who knew). So I'm pulling for that DVD.
What I've learned / do? We've REALLY tried to hang out more laundry versus using the dryer whenever we (as in I) can).
We recycle ALL of our aluminum cans and even take them to the recycling center ourselves. We use the $$ (what little we get) for fun things with the kids.
My kids would like either DVD, but probably Handy Manny more.
Oooo Oooo we are planing plants on earth day in our garden and then we are going for a nature walk (and i have a dentist appointment but that was just luck on my part)
The School House Rock one looks awesome!
We do not get Handy Mandy up here :( Although when we lived in CA becca adored Mandy and would get all gushy when he was on!
What a fun giveaway!
We use canvas bags at the grocery store...and I try not to get the little ones for the fruits and veggies!
I like the school house rock one!
