Grannyism #58: Be Gentle with the Earth
By Charla on Apr 21 Filed In Sweet Contests, Uncategorized, earth day Add a Comment
I wonder how many people will open up a bottle of Sweet Leaf Tea this Friday to find “Be Gentle with the Earth” under the cap? If it were up to me, I’d wiggle my nose and make every cap have this Grannyism tomorrow as I can’t imagine a more appropriate theme for Earth Day. But unfortunately, even after years of working on my nose wiggle, I’m no Samantha. I’ll have to leave this turn of the cap to fate and hope that at least a few unsuspecting tea fans will get surprised by such a fortuitous find.
All magic wiggle nose kidding aside, maybe it’s better that Grannyism #58 has the chance of popping up any old day of the week. It’s like spreading the good vibes across the year instead of focusing it all on one day. Or, my personal favorite, it’s kind of like taking a birthday week instead of a birthday. In reality, it could mean that someone, somewhere every day is getting a subtle reminder that Mother Earth is worth celebrating, protecting and thinking about regardless if it’s Earth Day or Tuesday. And if each of those people, do a little something green each time they flip a cap, like recycling the bottle, then that can only equal good things in my book, right?
I must admit that almost every cap with a bit o’ wisdom from Granny makes me smile. But, there is something special and pure about getting this cap. I’m going to make it my personal challenge that every time I see this cap, I’m going to go the extra green mile in the name of keeping the world a beautiful place. So, who’s with me?
If you’re thinking you’d like to get in on a little green action, but don’t know where to start check out these Green Tips from Granny. Granny is very wise when it comes to these things.
IF by chance you happen to untwist a bottle of homemade goodness with Grannyism #58 on Earth Day (Friday, April 22, 2011), be sure to shoot me a picture and a green deed you performed that day here or post it to our Facebook page here. I’ll be sending a little goody to ya just for being so darn lucky. Bonus points if it’s a green tea!
