Greetings to all Eco/Green/Earthy/Natural/Crunchy/Planetary Parents, Families and People!
You are heartily invited to participate in the Earth Day Blog Carnival on April 22nd 2011.
This exciting carnival is hosted by ‘Child of the Nature Isle‘ and ‘Monkey Butt Junction‘ two blogs bought together through their love of natural parenting and a desire to share positive insights in living healthily and harmoniously with our beautiful yet fragile planet.
What is a Blog Carnival?
A blog carnival provides the opportunity for a variety of bloggers to write a post on a specific theme, publish them on the same day, and then support each other by reading posts, making comments and sharing on social networks. Blog carnivals have the potential to create community, forge friendships and get you increased attention in the blogosphere!
What should I write about?
The Earth Day Blog Carnival is now open for posts exploring any facet of earth friendly, environmentally conscious and eco-living. The one requirement we have for this carnival is that your post reflects eco-actions and lifestyle choices that you have taken or are working on. We want to hear about green living as you live it
It could be small or grand; something that affects just you or your entire neighbourhood; a one-off gesture or something you do everyday – all we ask is that you keep it REAL!
Through sharing your gems in eco-living you have the power to inspire others. What you do may be just a drop in the ocean but when shared, it can create a magnificent healing ripple. Below are just a few ideas to get the ball rolling but please feel free to add your own and contribute to planetary healing through the power of this wonderful-world-wide-web.

Earth Day Blog Carnival post suggestions:
Remember, your topic is 100% your choice – these are just some ideas to get your creativity flowing…
How do I participate?
We welcome all new, previously unpublished posts on the subject of eco-living as outlined above. All posts must be submitted by 15th April 2011 to both Terri and Jenn at the following email addresses:
terri (at) childofnatureblog.com
jenniferjhoffman (at) yahoo.com
Replace the (at) with @ and close the gaps – it’s written like this to prevent autospammers!
In addition to your post you will need to write a 1-2 line summary of your post that will be included in the link information at the bottom of the carnival. E.g ‘Terri at Child of the Nature Isle’ shows how saving the fluff under her bed could be the key to saving the world’ (well something like that!) Please send this summary in the same email as your post.
Please also share your Facebook pages and Twitter urls if you have them so we can link up everyone and promote each-other on our social network sites.
You will be informed of your acceptance to the carnival by 18th April and given additional information such as the html code to insert before and after your post which will list all the other participants. All posts need to be published on April 22nd 2011 (Earth Day) before 9am PST and you will be expected to update the html code later that afternoon with all the updated links. The updated code is essential because it will give your readers the links to other blogs participating in the carnival, as they will be linking to your blog as well.
Don’t worry if it’s your first carnival and all this sounds complex, it’s super simple and tons of fun! Your carnival hosts will be happy to help you on the day of the carnival if you run into problems, too.
We look forward to your participation. Please spread the word!
Earth Day Blog Carnival – Join the Revolution!
With Eco-love

Thanks! I so look forward to reading your post!
What a great idea. I just found this and I’m hoping to get something written today in time for the deadline-tonight! Hopefully, my brain and kids will cooperate. But, even if I don’t get it done in time, I’ll be sure to read everyone’s posts and leave some comment love.
