Go Green Idea: Never idle your car more than 1 minute

Posted on | January 20, 2010 | No Comments

If your car is parked for more than 1 minute, turn off the engine. You’ll save money and everyone will enjoy cleaner air.

  • Today’s engines warm up in less than 30 seconds.
  • Idling uses more gas every 10 seconds than restarting your car.
  • An average car burns almost a gallon of gas for every hour of idling.
  • Exhust is hazardous to human heath, especially children’s health. Studies have have linked air pollution to increased rates of cancer, heart and lung disease, asthma and allergies.
  • Idling exhaust contains more pollutants than running exhaust.
  • Vehicle exhaust is a major source of carbon dioxide, which contributes to climage change.

Posted on | November 8, 2009 | No Comments

I love this idea to use the summertime flower garden window planters for fall harvest bounty. It would also be great to put these items in a basket or wooden bowl on tables for centerpieces!

From Martha Stewart:
When cold weather arrives, gourds, winter squash, Indian corn, and small pumpkins can fill the planters that once overflowed with flowering annuals.

September in NJ brings cooler weather and lots of weddings. This weekend we created 120 orange velvet cupcakes with vanilla buttercream for a wedding reception at the Chart House in Weehawken, NJ.

Along with the cupcakes we created a topper cake decorated in ivory pearl fondant with a light brown ribbon around the middle with a gold sparkly brooch in the center. We used natural toned orange roses on the top of the cake with lime green hypericum berries. To complete the package, the bride and groom rented our medium cupcake stand to display the topper cake and cupcakes.
