Avatar’s Extended Edition on Blu Ray *Giveaway closed*

I was completely taken back when I saw Avatar. The movie was amazing, the graphics outstanding and the storyline something we all  should live by.

Avatar’s Extended Edition to teach their kids how to be green this holiday season, especially by utilizing the disc’s special “A Message from Pandora,” asset, which features James Cameron and his other cast and crew trying to save the Amazon rain forest.

The “Message From Pandora” feature:

  • A Message From Pandora – a great special feature to watch with any member of your family who is concerned about the environment. It documents James Cameron’s trip to Brazil where he met with some of the native tribes to show them his support and to speak up against the building of a dam that will destroy the ways of the indigenous people who live there.

After watching this feature, this could open up a discussion with your kids about how deeply Cameron cares for the environment, and what simple things they can do to help to be green such as:

  •  Making sure the lights are turned off when you leave a room
  • Turning off the water when you brush your teeth
  •  Using tote bags at the grocery store instead of plastic ones
  • Carrying reusable water bottles instead of the plastic ones to reduce waste

WIN
TWO winners will each receive a copy of  Avatar’s Extended Edition on Blu Ray.

    We’re big recyclers but that’s the basic thing we can do. We are making little changes all around the house which will hopefully add up to bigger things in the long run. For example, we put our dish soap in a glass oil dispenser so the bottle can’t be squeezed too much and only a small amount comes out, we’re cleaning our kitchen floors with a steam mop and distilled water to minimize use of harsh cleaners, in general we’re trying to just use less consumable “stuff”.

    Like many, we’ve recycled for years. I think participating in FreeRecycle instead of tossing unwanted/outgrown items has kept a huge amount of stuff out of our trash.
    while we haven’t gone hybrid we’ve never had gas guzzler cars. During my soccermom years of needing a stationwagon/suv, mine got 30 mpg and had highest safety ratings. While operating impact of hybrids are wonderful for owners, the construction of the hybrid creates a huge carbon footprint.
