by Paula Gallagher | April 20, 2011
Friday is Earth Day and Village Green Apothecary is proud to support Earth Day 2011: A Billion Acts of Green®. As an active member of our business community, we continuously strive to support sustainability and environmentally responsible efforts.
Simple acts of green that you and your family can do include:
- Turn off the lights when you leave a room
- Turn off the water faucet while your brush your teeth
- Eat locally grown food and support local farmers
- Start a veggie garden of your own
- Bring reusable bags grocery shopping (and for other shopping)
- Compost and recycle
- Walk and ride your bike instead of driving short distances
- Cut down or eliminate(!) your use of bottled water, and invest in a filter system
These are all simple ideas that anyone and everyone can do. To encourage you on your path to “greening” your lifestyle, Village Green is giving away adorable itty-bitty herb plants, FREE to take home and nurture, to the first 200 in-store customers who make a purchase on Earth Day, April 22. Come early to choose between rosemary, lemon thyme, and pineapple sage. (One plant per customer while supplies last.)

Bagnetic: The end of Plastic bags
by Paula Gallagher | April 22, 2010
Did you know that less than 1% of plastic bags actually ever get recycled? The rest end up in landfills and oceans and take millions of years to completely break down. Think about how many bags you use every time you hit the grocery store. Multiply by that by your number of visits per week, then by 52 weeks per year and then by millions of people… you see the problem. Many stores have started to charge for bags, to encourage people to use their own bags.
A company called Bagnetic has taken it one step further and developed trendy reusable bags that are easy to store and carry, and are made of non-toxic and durable materials. Bringing in your own bags is one step that we can all do to make this a better place to live. Everyday should be Earth Day.
Chemicals and the Future of our Children
by Paula Gallagher | April 22, 2010
The Disappearing Male is a documentary about the effects of man-made compounds, like BPA and phylates, and their effect on children, especially boys. It is eye opening and scary at the same time. Today is Earth Day, so do yourself a favor, and watch this watch this video. It will make you think twice about the water bottles you drink from, the plastic bags that you use for sandwiches and the reusable plastic containers that you stick in the microwave.
