Send us a picture of what you, your kids, or your community is doing to commemorate our Earth, we would love to post it on ClimateMama.com!

Meet OUR Eco Hero Roz Savage and join her campaign by becoming an Eco Hero too!

Roz has rowed solo across the Atlantic ocean and this month will begin the final leg of her quest to row solo across the Pacific!

Climate Mama's Blog Update
During April we will be showcasing ideas, events and developments around the
subject of you! Have a look at some of the new products we found at the Go Green Expo in NYC. Look at what new government requirements in Canada and the US will mean for your next car purchase. Join us later this month as we review our "Rent the Runway" experience. Share this Friday's In the News with the kids in your life as we look at how Stonyfield Farms is reducing greenhouse gas emissions through a reduction in cow "gases." (Your kids may use different language!) Stay tuned as we share highlights from our recent meeting with the Union of Concerned Scientists. Over the next few months they will be showcasing a campaign called "Weight of the Evidence." Scientists working on climate change issues will shine the spotlight on climate change facts in order to counter the fiction.
