I have a series of childrens books I wrote and illustrated, "Loui Saves the Earth" is the first in the series (I'm looking for an agent/publisher to publish the whole series). I am promoting simple everyday ways to help the planet to empower the individual, especially children. Through my book I have started a workshop for kids (soon adults) called "How to Be a Superhero for Planet Earth" and a blog www.louisavestheearth.com/blog for kids to tell their stories. I also started a monthly e newsletter, CLUB LOUI, for kids and families that focuses on one tip of the month to help kids and families help the planet. Any help in getting the word out is greatly appreciated! You can reach me at alix@louisavestheearth.com. Hi Anna,

I don't use biodegradable products since to me they end up in a landfill anyways. Most places don't have commercial composters. I see your website, Louis saves the earth, in your email. Tell me about your website. Anna Alexandra, I so agree. I don’t use biodegradable products since to me they end up in a landfill anyways. Most places don’t have commercial composters.

However I still find plastic everywhere, from our bread, to items I find I have to buy for school (napkins, pre packaged snacks required at preschool). But my other concern is when people turn to biodegradable products made from GMO and heavily sprayed crops......you think you are doing the right thing. But I will keep on trying. And I hope all of you do to. It is the consumer that has a lot of power.
