Armchair Travelers

Or, should I say "desk-chair travelers"?

I have been having a great time playing the "Around the World in 6 Photos" contest on the jake + cleo blog. It's kinda like taking a vacation without going through the hassle of forwarding the mail and having to pack! Of course, you don't get the fruity drinks...but there are souvenirs!

Yup, not only do we get to see some of Corina's photos from amazing, far-flung locales; guessing correctly earns us entries into a draw for a piece of jake + cleo jewelry! I don’t know about you, but that beats a “My mom went to Cambodia…” t-shirt hands-down.

I have already made my guess for this week, but you have until today at noon to stop by the jake + cleo blog to make yours! And, to see jake + cleo’s line of eco-friendly silver jewelry, stop by the Mozy Rue ECO Collective. No passport required.

Green and the City

With "green" events taking place all over the city, this coming weekend is going to be eco-hectic.

For those keeping track, there's the Winnipeg Green Lifestyle & Organic Living Show, Ciclovia, "Winnipeg Free Weekend" (aka put your junk out on the curb and let your neighbours rummage through it), and a growing handful of events too numerous to mention. With a line-up like that, there is literally no reason for everyone to get out of the house and join the fun. (Rumour has it, the weather might cooperate, too!)

As I mentioned in my previous post, we will be setting up a booth during Sunday's Ciclovia event on Broadway. In the spirit of promoting all things eco, we are also giving away 3 pairs of tickets to the Winnipeg Green Lifestyle & Organic Living Show at the Convention Centre. For your chance to win a pair, please leave a comment below and tell us one "green" habit that you have picked up in the last year (or one you are thinking about starting).
