Panda Hero - the first iPhone/iPod game that plants real live trees
Hello! I wanted to introduce all you wonderful eco-mommies to a new concept in iPhone/iPod gaming for kids. I am involved in another eco-company called Barefoot Explorers, and we create 'Games for Good'...our mission is to create a movement to reforest the world through games! For each game we sell, we plant 3 live trees on Earth in honor of the player. We are inspired to excite kids about the impact they can have on the world, and to teach them about conservation and the environment through really fun games!Our first game launched a few weeks ago and has had tremendous press and customer reception. It is called Panda Hero - check it out at pandahero.com. We have received great reviews and write-ups in Wired, Appcraver, iphonemom.com, gamepro, theiphoneblog and more. Gamepro said Panda Hero is "extremely enjoyable."During the game, players roll, tilt and jump their way through the beautiful Chinese wilderness as they work to rescue endangered pandas. They tilt their way through bamboo forests, rushing rivers, ancient villages, snow fields, mountain cliffs, hanging bridges and more, all the while avoiding dangers like poisonous mushrooms, spiders, snakes, poachers, traps, broken bridges and more. And once they rescue the pandas, they get to relocate the pandas to a sanctuary where they take care of virtual 3d pandas.Please try us out and tell your friends about Panda Hero - you can help us create a movement to reforest the world through games! Get Panda Hero on the App Store today!Also, check out this inspiring video from our tree planting partners, Trees for the Future. We work with Trees for the Future for both Born on Earth kidswear (we plant 1 live tree per tee sold) as well as Barefoot Explorers. They are so amazing and we are proud to work with them.

Avatar's James Cameron Inspires at Earth Day Fest
"What kind of ancestor do you want to be?" This is the question James Cameron says we need to be asking ourselves.
Academy Award winning director, James Cameron, made an appearance at the Santa Barbara Earth Day Festival on Sunday, speaking to the sun-drenched crowd of his life-long concern for the environment.
The Community Environmental Council, who hosted the event, honored him with their Environmental Hero Award for bringing environmental awareness to millions thru his eco-inspired film AVATAR.
Cameron said that his concern for the environment was awakened by the devastating oil spill off the coast of Santa Barbara in 1969. He hopes to awaken in others a similar concern for the environment and a deeper connection to the beauty of nature through his film work and environmental activism.
Cameron spoke passionately about how we as a society must awaken to the reality of global warming, that this is the problem of this century and that there is a fundamental disconnect. He said its "the big disconnect that we as a society don't believe what the scientists tell us," that we must become 'science-literate' and that education is the key.
Cameron, who had just returned from a trip to Brazil to stop the third largest damn in the world from being built and dislocating thousands of indigenous people, ended with an inspiring quote he was given from the indigenous North American leaders there, "walk lightly upon the earth for the faces of future generations gaze up at us." Coincidentally in the photo here, captured by photographer Sarah Fretwell, the face of a future generation gazes up at a man who is walking lightly.

Its 'Summer For Kids' in Montecito, CA
Owner Adriana, and her baby, Summer - Summer For Kids
Summer For Kids, a unique children's store in Montecito, California, is a treasure trove of environmentally friendly and organic children's toys, products and clothing. We're excited about them of course because they're currently selling our tees :) - but also because their commitment to having only the very best products for children clearly shines thru. All one needs to do is take a peek inside the store. I found (with the help of their able staff) some
chic bamboo threads for a friend's baby boy, and I hear he and mama are loving the soft yummy organic fabric... If you are in the local Santa Barbara area and you are seeking must-have organic items for children, you should come on by and discover this 'green' emerald gem in Montecito. As if any additional encouragement is needed to shop this store, ALL store
profits go to local children's charities. Wow!
Summer For Kids is at:
1235 Coast Village Road, Montecito, CA 93108
