My daughters love the “Sound of Music”.  When they were little they ran around the house singing the various songs including “My Favorite Things”.  They didn’t know the words, except for the part that says “these are a few of my favorite things”.  Instead, they made up their own lyrics with their favorite things.  I think it went “Ponies, and chocolate, and Mollie, and Barbie….”  Anyway, I wanted to share a few of my favorite things.

The first thing isn’t actually a thing, but a program through TerraPass.  TerraPass is a company that allows you to help fund three kinds of eco friendly energy projects that will offset the emissions from your travel.  The program I am excited about is actually a partnership between TerraPass and RIPmobile.  This program allows you to recycle your PDA or mobile phone for a gift certificate to use with TerraPass.  Check out how to do this here.

Another favorite thing of mine is this card from Three Leaf Cards on climate change.  A card from Tree Greetings is also a nice idea since a tree is planted for every greeting you send.  I like the idea of cards that “do” something as opposed to cards that use up trees and energy and get thrown in the trash a week later.

Since I hate buying water in plastic bottles, I love my Sigg bottles.  We have them in many colors.  They also make great gifts and I plan to buy these for a new baby in our neighborhood.  She will also be wearing my favorite onesie with this great message.

Of course counted among my favorites are my family and almost anything to do with being outside.

So those a just a few of my favorite things, what are your favorite things?
