| Help Rebuild Haiti | |||
 Weaver Street Market is collecting and contributing funds to help with long-term rebuilding efforts for cooperatives in Haiti. Customers can give any amount at the checkouts to directly support the Cooperative Development Foundation's (CDF) Cooperative Emergency Fund (CEF) or visit their website and donate to the Cooperative Emergency Fund via Google checkout.The Cooperative Emergency Fund is one of CDF's most important funds. Over the past 20 years, the CEF has given more than $275,000 for cooperative relief efforts in the wake of 10 disasters. Some of these disasters include: Hurricane Katrina, the 2004 Indonesian Tsunami, September 11th, the Kenyan bombings and many others. 100% of monies raised are distributed through organizations familiar with the specific regions afflicted by disaster. Currently CDF is working with two cooperative organizations, NRECA International Foundation and ACDI/VOCA, to orchestrate a long-term rebuilding effort for cooperatives in Haiti. NRECA International Foundation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association, is a charitable organization dedicated to the mission of bringing electricity to the world, one village at a time. Founded in 1963, ACDI/VOCA is an economic development organization that fosters broad-based economic growth, raises living standards and creates vibrant communities. They help communities in need by working in the areas of agribusiness, food security, enterprise development, financial services and community development. CDF will be working to fund long-term relief efforts, which take time. Working to augment the efforts of two well-regarded cooperative organizations with familiarity and programs in Haiti helps ensure that your money is in fact being used for the right purpose. |

 Organic Lawns Are Just Around the Cornerby Emily Buehler, Contributing Writer Warm days may tease us, but we still have a month or two of winter. But while it's too cold to work in the yard, it's never too early to start thinking organic! If you'd like to replace chemical lawn care with organics this year, or if (like me) you've always avoided lawn care entirely, dreading the toxic products you'd be required to buy, then Garden Web's Organic Lawn Care FAQ might interest you. The FAQ page includes everything about organic lawn care, from the simple (how to spread compost on your lawn, when is the best time of day to water) to the complicated (how to prepare soil for a new lawn, the low-down on organic 'protein fertilizers') as well as a 'Possible Problem Areas' section at the bottom. Visit the FAQ here and by the time the earth warms up, you'll be ready to go. And if yard care is not for you, check the 'Green People' website for local environmentally friendly lawn care companies. (I used the zipcode search.) |
