What we did for earth day

Last Saturday, in celebration of Earth day, the street where Different Daisy is located held an Earth Day Festival. In store, we fed visitors
Loma Linda Big Franks
and Tings and passed out literature outlining the environmental impact a meat based diet has on the planet.





Flyers we passed out (PDF, you need Adobe for these):

Feel Free to print these and hand them out at your next event.


For the kids we made "Rabbit Food" Gardens that they could take home. Each child got a reused flower pot with stickers and ribbons to decorate it and spinach & lettuce seeds. The child first places soil in the pot, the adds the seeds, covers lightly with more soil, waters and covers with plastic wrap. The seeds will germinate in about 10 days and in 40-60 they will have "Rabbit food" to eat.






For the adults, we made a body scrub they could take home. We used epson salt and sea salt, sunflower oil, and NOW foods essential oils. Each person got to pick their choice of scent for their personalized scrub.


Recipe for a small take-home container of scrub:
4 T Salt
1/2 to 1 T oil
Serval drops essential oil

Stir and enjoy!





People came up with all sorts of combinations but lavender was a top choice and an invigorating blend containing tangerine, orange and grapefruit was a close second.
