1. Success: Big Win for the Environment
Recently, a federal judge in Vermont ruled against U.S. automakers and upheld a state law that regulates greenhouse gas emissions from vehicles. Thanks to the millions of Care2 members who signed petitions in the past to help curb greenhouse emissions. As you can see, your support is already making a difference. The ruling in Vermont was a great success in our efforts to reduce America's global warming pollution from automobiles. Now help keep the momentum going by asking Congress to pass effective global warming legislation before the end of the 2007 legislative session.
2. Decorate Your Home with Fall Colors
It’s such fun to welcome in the colors of fall: pumpkins glow on the hearth like magical harvest moons, while along the roadside the orchards are heavy with russet apples, and soon the leaves will blaze in amber glory. It’s all such a feast for the eye and the spirit! » Check out these fun and natural ways to bring autumn colors indoors.
3. Welcome the First Autumn Harvest with Tasty Recipes
Set the tone for an unforgettable dinner with a Colorful Kale and Autumn Vegetable Stew. Kale, with its high calcium content, deep green color and elaborately ruffled leaves, contrasted with the yellow of squash and the orange of sweet potato, makes this an attractive and nourishing dish for the early autumn harvest. As the perfect companions for this dish we recommend: » Autumn Greens and Walnuts Salad – Recipe » Autumn Apple Cheesecake

5. Pamper Your Pet with a Homemade, Detergent-Free Shampoo
About as pure a shampoo as you can get, this recipe is detergent-free. In addition, the healing properties of aloe vera gel help to sooth skin irritations. The furry member of the family surely deserves it. Try the homemade aloe vera pet shampoo.
6. Take Action: Support Women Caring for Orphans in Botswana, Jamaica, Cambodia and Lebanon
War, poverty and HIV/AIDS have left too many children without families and access to basics rights, including education and health care. Fortunately, selfless women have been giving motherly love to up to ten boys and girls at a time through the SOS Children's Villages' program.
