Wright Scoop – Give the Gift of Plow, Not Hearth

Richmond, VA, December 07, 2011 --(PR.com)-- As the holiday season approaches, are you considering gift choices? For many, the focus is ‘hearth and home’ but from an eco-chic – environmental stewardship - perspective, a focus of ‘plow, not hearth’ is more appropriate. For, from the rain forests of south-east Alaska to the deciduous forests of the Mid-Atlantic region, climate change has reaped havoc on America's landscape.

During the holiday season, the Wright Scoop - Sylvia Hoehns Wright is posting a series of columns that suggest ‘gifts of plow, not hearth’. To follow, link to Wright's Examiner.com column - http://www.examiner.com/gardening-in-richmond/sylvia-wright and select ‘follow’ for notice by Tweets or ‘subscribe’ to receive notice by email. In the spirit of the holiday season, join Wright in her quest to green life’s garden one scoop at a time. Give gifts that reflect eco-chic, ‘plow, not hearth’.

From Eco-weak to Eco-chic, green America’s landscape:

As the recipient of the ‘Turning America from Eco-weak to Eco-chic’ award sponsored by Project Evergreen, Today’s Garden Center magazine and Hines Horticulture, Wright encourages all to create landscapes from a sustainable point of view, seeking to reduce their carbon footprint as well as feed their families pesticide free produce. “The challenge,” says Wright, “for present-day communities is to create landscapes from an eco-chic point of view, a ‘waste not, and want not’ ecological commitment: become caretakers for the environmental community.”

Featured by Virginia Home Grown WCVE Richmond PBS TV, State by State Gardening magazines and Birds & Blooms magazine for her hands-on eco-activities, Wright is a contributing writer for Industry magazines and newspapers and has blog for Build Green TV.
