About the Recycle Revival:

Greater Good Productions, together with WECT, are proud to announce the first annual GREATER WILMINGTON RECYCLE REVIVAL!

This celebration of everything 2nd hand, recycled, and environmentally friendly will showcase area organizations, businesses, artists and farmers that contribute to an overall healthy and sustainable community. It will feature a community yard sale, artists and crafters that work in recycled or earth friendly materials, a farmer’s market sneak preview, locally made products and food, music, “green living” businesses, 2nd hand fashions, and more. Proceeds from this event will benefit the Cape Fear River Watch, PenderWatch, and the North Carolina Coastal Federation and their efforts to keep Southeastern North Carolina clean, healthy and beautiful.

GREEN LIVING SHOWCASE

More and more people are realizing the importance of living green. Whether its through buying local, using less toxic chemicals, or simply recycling, people are making an effort to reduce their carbon footprint and make our planet more healthy. This is what the Recycle Revival is all about - reusing, reducing, and doing what’s right for our planet Earth. We at GGP feel that the “green” trend is probably the most beneficial trend to ever impact our culture, so much in fact, that we hope its not a trend, but a planetary movement towards a better way of life.

   EARTH’S SWEET PLEASURES IS ON A QUEST TO CREATE THOUSANDS OF “FAIR TRADE HOMES” FOR WORLD FAIR TRADE DAY, 2010

EARTH’S SWEET PLEASURES is a part of “Fair Trade My Home,” a grass-roots campaign of fair trade companies, individuals and organizations who are inviting friends and fans to join the fair trade movement and make their home a “Fair Trade Home” in honor of World Fair Trade Day, May 8th, 2010. The goal is to create as many self-declared Fair Trade Home’s as possible by having people submit a photo or video showing which fair trade goods they regularly purchase and use in their home. Submissions are being gathered at www.fairtrademyhome.com  Fair trade is an alternative way of doing trade, where the people producing a product are treated fairly, paid fairly, and are being fair to the environment. A home that is committed to the purchase and use of fair trade goods is a “Fair Trade Home.”  What was started in America by one woman with a vision has become a global movement involving over 60 countries, 1.5 million workers. In America, over 1,500 companies and retailers offer fair trade goods, there are 13 fair trade towns, and over 300 college campuses that support fair trade.  The purpose of Fair Trade My Home is to raise greater awareness of fair trade to the American consumer, so that each person will choose to integrate more fair trade purchases into his or her regular buying habits, and cut down on poverty both in America and around the world.  EARTH’S SWEET PLEASURES not only creates fair trade products/supports fair trade, it is actively encouraging the community to join in making homes fair.
