Calling all Kids!!! We have launched a campaign for children, asking them to send in their artwork and how they wish to express, "It is easy being green." Children should be between the ages of 3-12 and there will be winners and prizes! Read more and enter! Great News! Our latest collaboration is with world renowned artist, Paul Zwolak, who has illustrated a marvelously fun frog family that shows us all how being green is, in fact, easy! Paul is represented in the United States by the Marlena Agency. He has been recognized by the Society of Illustrators, Communication Arts and American Illustration, among others. In 2008 Paul’s work was selected by the United States Postal Service for their Love Series. His commemorative stamp, Love: All Heart, was released on June 20, 2008.

We have been devastated by the news of the BP oil spill and its effect on both the livelihood of the people who live in this area and on the wildlife. To express some of our feelings about the disaster, Susan has designed a series of t-shirts. All proceeds from the sale of the t-shirts will be donated to the Audubon Institute and other organizations that are involved in wildlife rescue in the Gulf area. Audubon Institute is helping to save so many turtles. To read more about their efforts, click here. |
