Title: White House Easter Egg Roll to Be Environmentally Friendly
Post by: thundley4 on March 09, 2010, 01:49:29 PM: Quote
(Fox News) - This yearâ€™s White House Easter Egg roll will be eggs-actly what the bunny ordered. The environmentally concerned bunny, that is.

A White House announcement Monday said the eggs at this yearâ€™s April 5 roll will be made from paperboard that contains no wood fibers from endangered forests, is recyclable and features vegetable-oil based inks and a water-based coating.

Whatâ€™s more, theyâ€™ll come in purple, pink, green and yellow and feature the stamped signatures of both President Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama.

The eggs, produced and sold by the National Park Foundation, are given as a souvenir to all children under 12 who attend the annual roll. And if you canâ€™t make it to the White House, the orbs are available online.

This year's theme for the roll is "Ready, Set, Go", part of Mrs. Obama's plan to promote health and wellness in the United States and combat childhood obesity.

I'm pretty sure that most kids aren't thinking about eating healthy during Easter. If they are the stores that have big candy displays are in for a rude surprise.

IIRC, there was problems with the online lottery system the WH used last year for guests. Seems like I remember invitations being auctioned on eBay or something.

I looked all day and can't find my basket with the faux green crinkly grass.

:thatsright:

NOW I remember. The dog ate the grass, along with last year's egg, and I spent an hour and a half pulling that faux grass outta his ass.

He was NOT happy.
