I was thinking about posting about them here or on Eco-Childs Play. Since the school year is about to start, this might be the perfect time to do that. Stephanie, Hey girl! I was planning a post about that too (probably Wednesday). It's a struggle to be squeaky green on a limited budget(just look at the Democratic National Convention!). Plus, there is a dilemma about marketing materials which inherently end up in landfills or as litter. I think you're right though, we just have to find a balance in these tough times. :) Colleen, I teach an art class for kids, and have lots of great recycled projects.

DUCF has definitely been thinking along the same lines. We are struggling to become more environmentally responsible on a more limited budget this year. For us, it's turning out to be a balance of good intentions. For example, we haven't been able to purchase carbon offsets, but we have been able to make our food vendor a local, vegan restaurant. Would love to hear other ideas for "greening" a craft fair. Great post!
