June 27th 2009 "Kitchen Cosmetics" Workshop
Concerned about the chemicals in store-bought cosmetics? Looking for some natural alternatives? Join us for Kitchen Cosmetics, a workshop hosted by Green TEA and the Caledon Library. Have fun while learning how to create lovely skin, body and bath care products with ingredients found in your kitchen. Workshop facilitator Carrole Blakeman is a certified aromatherapy practitioner with a background in alternative health including studies in homeopathy. You'll learn the basics of scrubs, masks, lip balms, and salves and see demonstrations of techniques and ideas, plus get samples to take home! This exciting three-hour workshop will be held at the Bolton Branch of the Caledon Library.
Workshop Fee: $25 for Green TEA members; $30 for non-members. Your material costs are included in the workshop fee. Light refreshments will be served. Only 20 seats available so PRE-Registration is necessary. To register contact Patti Foley at (905) 951-0625 or patti@greentcaledon.ca
Note: Our first workshop (scheduled for June 6th) was a speedy sell-out and the second workshop (June 27th) is already 50% booked - so RSVP quickly to reserve your seat!

Kick Your Greening Up a Notch!
Looking to go greener, at home or at work? Green T Environmental Awareness (Green TEA) now collects used inkjet and laser printer cartridges, as well as old cell phones.
Working with a reverse logistics company we are participating in a program that processes and recycles these items, diverting them from our landfills. As a non-profit organization, Green TEA even receives a small donation on select items.
It is estimated that over 300,000,000 empty printer cartridges are generated in North America every year. Add all of the “previously enjoyed” cell phones to that number and it’s easy to see how tons of electronic waste could potentially head to our landfill sites.
So give us a shout! We’ll be happy to arrange for pick ups (within Caledon) and can even provide you a collection box to get started. And why not ask around at work; many employers are eager to show their green community spirit!
