Green, Peace, and Happiness
Ok so we've dedicated our shows to some of the greatest artists in the world and even a scaaaaarryy, spooooooky, creeeeeepy, craaaaaaawly halloween show. And now that we've had our fun it was time to get serious about one thing, Saving Our Planet. So we did just that and geared up to start what probably was the biggest science project of the season.
The best part about it was that the entire crew of the show had to participate and show some type of involvement. If you could have seen the prep work backstage the night before the shoot you would have seen everything first hand. I'm talking about major school work projects here. There were posters everywhere along the long hallways of the production off saying everything from "Save Our Planet" to "Don't Mess with the Green". People everywhere had out they're glue sticks, recycled paper bags, scissors and much more going to town to help promote recycling. Our Green Episode airs on Nov. 6th so be sure to tune in.
It was amazing to see how much fun everyone had with making the signs, and of course we had have our wonderful audience participation (man our audience is amazing and so supportive so a big thanks to all of you guys. But think for a moment! Are you doing even the smallest thing in your life, household or workplace to help save energy on our planet?
Come on guys, separate those plastic cans from bottles and reuse your paper bags from the grocery store or anywhere every time you go grocery shopping instead of getting new ones every time. Check this - even some grocery stores give you 5 cents per bag back when you reuse your bags. Try to help cut down on polluting the air by carpooling and he'll to save our rainforests.
With all of the tragedies going on in the world, especially all of the wild fires that have affected and devastated so many people in Southern California within the last two weeks. We must take better care of our planet and eco system. And not only as adults but don't forget about the millions of young people in the world who could help make a difference if only they knew important it was. I know I personally recycle in my home and at work and it feels good to do so. My daughter loves to recycle the large plastic jugs from spring water that we buy and use them as piggy banks. She has a plastic jug for every penny, nickel, dime and quarter that she saves and she has a blast doing so. So come on, it only takes a second of time throughout your day to recycle, reuse and save our planet.......
Enjoy the show and Dare to Be Green......

Wow guys! i'm super impressed and inspired. Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Justin. I'm a helper bee at a tiny little flowershop in Seattle called BiZi Bee Floral & Gifts. Heather (our shop manager)and i totally stand by what you are doing.
We love the Earth! All of us at BiZi Bee Floral & Gifts are working really hard to build a full line of green and sustainable products. We are partnering with local farmers
whenever we can to bring flowers to our customers that are free of pesticides. Now that it's Winter I intend to work with some other local florists to build a flower buying co-op and purchase product through an organic flower vendor that supplies Veriflor certified product. Additionally, we are currently working on adding a full line of fair trade chocolate, as well as bath and beauty products from a company called Country Meadows ( www.countrymeadows.com ). Country Meadows sells products
made from all natural plant extracts.
However, as passionate as we are about being green.. you Honey Bee's are reminding us about the basics and we appreciate. I mean it's great to have natural products, but we need to not neglect something as obvious as reducing and recycling our waste. I'm very motivated thanks to you and i pledge to be more diligent about recycling.
Say since you guys are so super green, you should totally check out this community i am in called www.biznik.com .. it's a community of indie business people who are all about being green, and sustainable. I love it, and i would be happy to introduce you guys once you join and make your social networking profile there. it'd be a great way to promote your green ideals and your careers at the same time. Google loves Biznik! Google "Seattle Wedding Industry" and you'll see what i mean. Dan McComb, John Adair, and Lara Feltin have built a great site!
Hope to see you around Biznik soon!
Keep up the Good Work,
Justin
