Earth Day is next week!

Next Wednesday, April 22nd is Earth Day! Here at FMF we're super excited about the opportunity to talk about how women's rights and the conservation movement overlap.

On our Twitter a few days ago, we asked for some ecofeminist event ideas. Here's a few of the first couple of responses!

@AWFJ @feministcampus Group up to watch great environmental documentaries http://tinyurl.com/ct8awa and take action!

@ecomarci @feministcampus host a party about sustainable alternative to tampons and decorate your old, unused tampons!

@mynameismeg @feministcampus WKU is having a party in front of the WS building. Local food, tie dye, music and handing out ecofeminism info to passersby.

These are great ideas, thanks to @AWFJ, @ecomarci, and @mynameismeg! What else are the rest of you planning? Let us know with an @reply on Twitter or in the comments below, we love to share your ideas.

On a related note, keep an eye out soon for a new ecofeminist campaign from us - FMF's Women and Water campaign is coming soon!
