Eco Homes 101

Cupcake asked:


Hi everyone,

I’m having my very Indian wedding early next year and I want my wedding favors to be little potted Tulsi plants (Tulsi is very sacred in the Hindu culture). Anyways, I have no idea how to go about this! I was thinking of buying colorful little ceramic pots and planting 3 seeds into each of them in my backyard. Would it be more cost effective to just buy them potted? Also, is it possible to get ceramic flower pots engraved or would it be cheaper to tie messages to them? And on the day of the wedding, since the pots have holes in the bottom (right?) I will have to find someway to not have them leak all over my guests on their way to their homes. Please let me know if you have any ideas and id love more info if you’ve done this at your wedding or been to one that had this! THANKS SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I went to a small world store that has a bunch of things from varies other countries. I purchaced two pendants. The one is a random pattern that I can not find anyplace online. I think it’s just to look nice?
The other, I thought was a form of the Dara celtic knot.I asked the lady at the register what it was and she said some celtic knot. So, I bought it.I was so stupid, didn’t take the recipe. (I’m very pro-eco) I get home and try to figure out was the swirly one is. I find the other pendant though! They are Tibetan yak bone pendants. The “celtic knot” is actually some buddha endless knot.
I’m catholic and what not. What should I do with it? I can’t throw it away because I have a high respect for other religions and peoples. It’s just because some poor man spent the time carving it that I can not get rid of it. What can I do with it?
It’s not that I want to get rid of it. It’s beautiful. I want to use it in a way that won’t disrespect anyone.

Any insight?
