Earth Day 2008

Ok, I have no earthly idea what those three phallic (am I allowed to use that word here?) shaped things are.

But the cards and wrapping paper are not only biodegradable, they have seeds embedded in them so you can plant and expect perennials after you party! Items I think would appeal to all ages. Where was my flower paper when I was a child? I wonder why folks didn't think of it sooner.

Happy Earth Day everyone!
