EcoPatterns floats over to the U.K. for a little bit. Last weekend I had the honor of being selected for a giveaway promotion on a Scottish Blog, Gorjuss Little Things. I would like to extend my gratitude and respect to Suzanne and Grant for featuring a set of EcoPatterns Note Cards that I also have available in my personal etsy shop. I am deeply grateful that my message about endangered animals is extending overseas and I am looking to continue spreading awareness globally. Social media is a huge boost to sharing information.

Speaking of sharing and social media, my hubby added two cool little upgrades to our homepage if you’ve noticed. One is the automatic latest tweet module that will be broadcasting @ecopatterns twitter tweets dynamically. Another sweet addition is tapping into the Facebook Graph API to give us our Like Box Module (formerly “fan page”) to connect all of the folks that really dig our stuff. While my husband understands this stuff better than I, it’s obvious to me that this stuff is important for helping us spread the word.

I like breathing clean air. We all do. Now that Earth Day is running 40 years strong as of today, it is showing that recognition is global. Businesses are going green and growing more environmentally motivated. Despite all this, the state of the Earth is still in trouble. We’re losing trees and plantlife at alarming rates as well as losing wildlife to extinction. I started my business a little under 2 years ago to spread awareness and hope and I am pleased with the strides I’ve made. But you know what? We can do better. I am going to up the ante today.

In honor of Earth-Day, EcoPatterns is prepared to give away a free 8.5″ x 11″ art print of your choice to two lucky winners. How do you get one? Easy! Retweet this post and follow @ecopatterns on twitter using our nifty little button below. Later tonight we will choose 2 lucky winners randomly.
