Green deals and misc. news from around the green blog-a-sphere

The White House chefs are now offering tours of the WHKG for school groups:
(As first reported on Obama Foodorama)
At this time, tours are limited to "local area" schools.However, if you are connected to a school, it can't hurt to apply anyway, since (1) we all know that "local area" has many definitions, and (2) it stands to reason the more interest they hear from around the country (and heck, around the world), the more likely the WH is to expand tour offerings and other school outreach programs.
Ecobags.com is having a 50% off Fall Sale: (on selected items) and $5.99 shipping on orders of more than $40.

Consider giving the gift of a Green Home Makeover from Green Irene: A Trendy, Unique Holiday Gift Option:
