Having stumbled upon the concept (which seems to be gathering momentum) of ecofeminist organizations, well, I just had to look. The world is either getting more confusing or more cohesive; it depends on how you look at it. Like the chicken or the egg, I'm not quite sure which came first, feminism or the ecological movement.

It seems the motivation for ecofeminism is that Al Gore just isn't cutting the cake - what the green movement needs is some good old-fashioned maternal care. So how exactly do they do it? Well, one thing they do is get together, have a bit of frivolity, and then learn about all the bad chemicals in commercial cleaning products.

The Women's Voices for the Earth organization shows how to host green cleaning parties. Since this is an international organization, you might want to call it a Fiesta de Eco-Limpieza! They'll send you a kit for the party that educates your guests about chemical hazards and gives recipes for eco-friendly alternatives. So, let's get this party started!
