It's 2010 - Happy Green Year
We're back from our travels and happy to report good green planning all along our ho-ho-holiday way.
We spent Christmas Eve and Christmas morning in beautiful Callaway Gardens and loved their natural decorations @ the Lodge and Spa. Located on top of Pine Mountain, Georgia, Callaway Gardens is committed to eco-friendly living, environmental education and renewable energy year-round!
As we passed through nearby Atlanta on our way to Nashville, we learned that Atlanta has also established forward thinking green initiatives. In 2003, the city of Atlanta passed an ordinance requiring all city funded development to be LEED certified. That's thoughtful planning for the future.
As we headed into good old country musical Nashville, we noticed a spectacularly clean downtown area and we were so pleased to discover a concerted city-wide effort to establish Nashville as a leader in green initiatives and livability.
We're back in Jacksonville now. We're taking down the Christmas decor, and gearing up for Tree Hill Nature Center's Bring One For the Chipper event on January 9, 2010. Bring your UNDECORATED Christmas tree to Tree Hill on January 9 and take aromatic mulch home. Great way for the family to recycle. (NOTE: Tree Hill is a client and the event is FREE.)
