On Wednesday, February 4, Lynn Colwell, the author of the book Celebrate Green kindly agreed to meet with Chris and Stas to talk about her book and other green activities she is involved in.

Lynn told us that the idea behind Celebrate Green started when she with her daughter Corey set out to make Halloween celebrations more eco-friendly and generally healthier, which in turn led to Green Halloween.  Green Halloween immediately caught the attention of local media which made the event quite popular.  Pretty quickly, Lynn realized that the idea is much bigger than just Halloween.  “As a nation we have a lot of celebrations “ - said Lynn - “just think about it - official holidays, weddings, office parties, the list goes on and on.”

This led Lynn to the next step logical step: as a former free-lance writer she decided to set out to publish a book that talks about how to make celebrations greener, while keeping them affordable, easy, and most of all, fun.  “We wanted to offer greener alternatives that do not break the bank, especially in today’s economy, but make the switch to greener celebrations easy”, - continues Lynn.  The result of their efforts is the book which carries the subtitle “Creating Eco-Savvy Holidays, Celebrations & Traditions for the Whole Family.”

Celebrate Green 

Lynn Colwell and Corey Colwell-Lipson practice what they preach: you can see it in the JumpGauge of the book.  It is printed on 100% recycled paper by a Forest Stewardship Council Certified (FSC) Printer.  In addition, a portion of the proceeds go to two non-profit causes.

We at Jump To Green, Inc. are happy to make the greenness of the book visible with JumpGauge that, in addition to the contents of the book highlights the manner in which it made.
