I don’t really know too much about the G20, however you look at it though, I live north of Pittsburgh where the G-20 will be next week. I know there are many good things and many bad things that come from this event. I only recently learned that 14 cities turned down the opportunity to host – but Pittsburgh jumped at it.

One of the events this year will be a dinner for the 20 world leaders and their spouses at Phipps Conservatory. Phipps Conservatory is one of the most green botanical gardens in the world. Their display of over 19 indoor and outdoor gardens and ecological environments is second to none. They take living naturally, and eco-friendly to a new level.

I had the privelege of volunteering there this past Friday, to wipe down railings, brick walls, signs, benches and light fixtures. You can’t imagine  the beauty in that place. I urge you to click the link on the right and at least visit their website.

I am so inspired by their pledge to sustainability and green living. Every product we used to clean with was green, and environmentally friendly. every utensil in the cafe, all the plates, glasses – compostable.

I can make a difference with Watkins, you can make a difference. Make the pledge for sustainability and buy products that will save our environment. It doesn’t matter what else the world leaders will talk about at the G20 – as long as well all buy into a greener way of life!
