April showers bring May flowers – and ice cream, light jackets and cropped pants. April 22 also marks Earth Day, a time for us to reflect on being kinder to the environment and educate our kids about making eco-choices throughout the year. But why stop at a day? We’re taking all month to pay tribute to Mama Earth.

NOTE: Our 2011 Green Guide is no longer available.

Looking for a little eco-inspiration? You’ll find out about community gardening in Vancouver, as well as how a family can survive being without a car – at least part of the time. We’ve also named our 30 top green picks, as well as listed 50 activities for you to do with your family. Be sure to visit VancouverMom.ca in the upcoming weeks for more ideas on staying green!
