Kiss / Handshake.

Giving EarthE Kisses, Handshakes and Hugs is a superb way to honor friends and others for their eco actions.


To give a EarthE Kiss to someone for helping protect our environment, draw a big circle in the air with your arms and hands to symbolize the Earth. Then give them a kiss - or blow them a kiss - through the circle.

When giving the EarthE Kiss (or any other EarthEs), you may want to say, "This EarthE is from me and a thousand other lifeforms that would like to thankyou for your action to protect our biosphere!"

The EarthE Yahoo Group welcomes everyone to add pictures and videos of their EarthE Kisses in action.

Kiss EarthE every day. <3
::::::::::::::::::::

The EarthE Handshake is another way to thank others for their enviro choices. To give an EarthE Handshake, open your fingers wide as you offer to shake a person's hand in the normal position. Ask the person to open their fingers in the same way. Then interlace your and the other person's fingers as you shake their hand.

Interlacing the 4 fingers symbolizes Team, Art, Logic and Love which are the four basic ways we can each help protect the planet -- as based on the Earth Citizens Accord.
::::::::::::::::::::

To give an EarthE Hug make a circle over your head with your arms. Then move the circle over a friend's head and then further down around their body. Then give them a cuddly hug from you and the planet.
::::::::::::::::::::

The EarthE Wink is given by making a little circle with your hands in front of one eye. Then wink... yes, eco sweet rules.



Credit / Di$count.

EarthE Credits are given by *participating businesses* that want to honor customers who have received
signed EarthE Money for their environmental actions.

EarthE Credits may include an E Di$count, E Handshake, E Kiss, E Words and/or other EarthE Arts.

If you run an eco conscious business, please join us. Our business invitation is at earthe.org/BizInvite.htm.


To receive an EarthE Credit at *participating businesses*, a customer is asked to redeem a signed EarthE Money note they have received from a friend or a peer for an environmental action they have taken.

The EarthE money should have the person's name, the eco choice or action they have taken, and the signature of the person who has awarded it, written on the front or back.

Most of the participating businesses print and post this EarthE Credit sign in their window.

Please read our *Invitation to Businesses* if you are a biz owner or manager.   more >>



Art / Party.

It is time to celebrate, give gifts, create art, speak or sing to honor friends and others that take actions to help our planet.

For example -- whether you are a artist or not -- draw a little picture on a napkin and give it to someone for biking to work for a week, or for some other eco action. You might also want to add: "thank you for riding your bike for our sweet mother Earth"; EarthE.org and/or an *E* with a line over it. Or, the picture could simply be one that has been torn out of a nature magazine.

Or, how about throwing a party to honor a person's eco actions or lifestyle is no less relevant than the other things we celebrate and give gifts for -- such as birthdays, new jobs, and holidays.

Also consider Speak EarthE, which is a way to speak for other lifeforms and future peoples of our planet, while honoring friends for eco action.

So check out the Art / Party page for more eco excellent ways to use your abilities, financial resources, art and voice to salute friends and others for their green actions.   more >>



Bracelet.

Easy-to-make EarthE Bracelets are a styling way to honor past eco actions, and trigger future eco actions as they are passed from person to person.

Plus, wearing an EarthE Bracelet is also a way to show people you like to give EarthE to honor their eco actions.

To make an EarthE Bracelet, wrap and tie a flexible blue, green or multicolored ribbon around the wrist 4 times to represent the 4 basic ways to help the Earth -- Team, Art, Logic and Love -- as taken from the Earth Citizens Accord. Soft, flexible ribbon can be found at knitting stores, and sometimes at fabric and crafts stores.   more >>



Award.

EarthE Environmental Awards can be given by organizations, individuals and businesses to formally honor those who have taken eco actions.


EarthE Environmental Awards can be used to support campaigns that encourage specific eco actions -- such as a *bike to work week*, an *energy conservation awareness program* or for joining a company sponsored environmental organization.   more >>

Preview & Print EarthE Money

When awarding EarthE Money to someone for completing an eco action, it's nice to write the person's name, the eco action they have taken and your signature on the front or back. Those who receive an EarthE Money note from you that includes their name, the completed eco action they have taken and your signature on it, can exchange it for an EarthE Credit at participating businesses, or trade it for another EarthE with a friend.

2/ rewarding the friend for completing the eco action.


The current suggested challenge is to ask friends to join you in taking these 10 actions to *Curb Global Warming* -- as laid out by the Sierra Club. Then, once a friend has completed one or more of these crucial *Curb Global Warming* challenge actions, reward them with an EarthE of your choice.

If you like em, use the Fast or Slow Global Money to reward friends for their anti-global-warming actions.

Reward friends for climate actions such as: driving less; car tune-ups; asking leaders for 40 mpg; using renewable energy; using compact fluorescents; water heater set at 120 degree; replacing inefficient appliances; planting a tree; recycling/r/r; joining an eco org. more >>

A classy way to invite others to take a challenge is to print-out and give out the EarthE Money Challenge notes.

When giving someone a challenge, it is your choice whether you tell the person in advance that you are going to give them an EarthE reward for completing the challenge, or you may choose to surprise them with the reward once they have taken the eco action.
