EcoStyle South Trunkshow!

Recently I went to the 7th annual EcoStyle South Trunkshow! I had a great time meeting and making friends and checking out all the cool and clever items eco-friendly vendors were selling! Amanda Leesburg ( Founder of the Ecostyle South Trunkshow) you really rock! The event was hosted by one of the most awesome people on the planet, Laura Turner Seydel chairperson of the Captain Planet Foundation, and Kevin Knaus of SCAD! Here are some pictures from the event! =)

An interview I did with Laura Turner Seydel about the importance of why more kids should really get involved with recycling and caring for the planet.

8 O Lord, our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth! who hast set thy glory above the heavens.

2 Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou ordained strength because of thine enemies, that thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger.

3 When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained;

4 What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?

5 For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour.

6 Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet:

7 All sheep and oxen, yea, and the beasts of the field;

8 The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, and whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas.

9 O Lord our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth!

Oprah Winfrey and Me (I was chosen as one of her Supersoul 100!!)
