Love is a many splendored thing. Love lifts us up where we belong. All you need is love. If all we need is love, then why is February and this month associated with so much waste?!

There are so many things we are celebrating this time of year that require us to shop, cook, travel, dress up, etc. This week, take a breath and celebrate the return of light after the longest night of the year -- the winter solstice. It's a great time to take a walk, connect with nature, and let the stress of the holiday season dissipate. We have asked Andrea Laszlo, Forest Bathing Guide and GE resident, to step in this week to teach us a little bit about the winter solstice.

Thank you Boy Scout Troop 45!

We know all too well that sometimes it can be tough to find that perfect gift.  We have local, sustainable gifts idea for your loved ones (including yourself!). And oh what fun we had shopping! Scroll on down for a special video that features a few of our favorite things that support the planet and local businesses.

It's go time for the holidays! During the Thanksgiving to New Year's season Americans throw away 25% more trash than at any other time period. It's a consumption-focused time of the year for sure! So here's a handy guide for holiday recycling as we head toward the New Year!

We are thankful for you!

This week, we want to recognize Cabernet & Company!

The DuPage County Board plans to fast-track a currently unfunded $75M garage project that is planned for Fairgrounds greenspace.  

The holiday season is a time of joy, celebration, and... shopping!  We are all for spreading cheer, supporting the local economy AND making green choices, so we've come up with ten ways to make holiday gift-giving more sustainable this year.

Look at all the great stuff we rescued from the landfill and were able to donate to EcoShip! 

This week, we want to recognize St. Mark's Episcopal Church!
