Green Living Seminars
Starflower Experiences is holding monthly Green Living Seminars the 2nd Thursday of each month (except July and August) from 7-9 pm. We want to help people think about their life choices and their impact on the earth and learn about ways they can personally lessen their impact. Come and learn how to live a more environmentally-friendly lifestyle. These will be held at the Melville Branch of the Half Hollow Hills Library at 510 Sweet Hollow Road directly across from the Sunquam School. Click on the title above for details.

Book Discussion September 20 & 28
Meet with us at Manor Farm (210 Manor Rd, Huntington) at 7 pm to discuss the book: Slow Death by Rubber Duck: The Secret Danger of Everyday Things. This is the story of two guys who experimented on their own bodies to measure the effects of toxic chemicals, and concluded that making changes in our consumer choices can benefit our health. This book sold out of it's first printing fast. Be sure you've read about half the book for the first date and finished it for the second.

Really Green From our Spring 2008 newsletter: Debra Lynn Dadd lays out some basic principles to help us judge and decide if something is really green. She says that "green" is "supportive of life, both human and otherwise." She lays out a series of principles that include considering the design, purpose, manufacturing, transportation, and packaging involved in a product or service. She explains about a Life Cycle Analysis-considering everything from the raw materials, through manufacturing and use, to disposal. We must take responsibility for the impacts of our choices and this book is a great start.
