Michelle Kaufmann Earth Day Activity Kit

Kermit got play from Miss Piggy. And the Hulk unleashed his rage on evildoers.

Get in on the green action with Michelle Kaufmann’s Earth Day Activity Kit, a DIY guide of fun things that give the earth a helping hand on its celebratory day.

The Oakland-based sustainable living architect turns reducing your carbon footprint into easy arts and crafts projects.

Create a stunning wall out of water bottles and flora to refract the sun’s rays through your windows. Do the right thing by making plantable paper from junk mail. Set the mood with candles made of soy, palm, or beeswax. Or impress yourself and the neighbors by building a sleek bird feeder from chopsticks.

All of which proves that regardless of what Kermit says, it is easy being green.
