Happy Tree Company
All New Happy Tree Buying Group!
The Happy Tree is pleased to announce that we are offering to facilitate a Wholesale Buying Group for Terrace and Surrounding Areas. There is no membership fee, but
all purchases will be subject to a 20% mark up for administration plus 5% to help cover shipping costs, which is well below regular store prices.
Depending on your interest we would like to place orders for product bi-weekly or monthly. We ask for a minimum $100 order per person, paid in advance at The Happy Tree or over the phone.
An order form will be distributed to you 1-2 weeks before the order date with a selection of items from rotating suppliers.
If there is an item that you are looking for that is not on the order form feel free to contact us or drop by to look through our supplier catalogues to see if we can get what you need. (We are not able to offer any items that require refrigeration at this time.)
The Distributors that we deal with specialize in different product categories such as personal body products, compostable diapers and diaper refills, mom and baby, or grocery items. We will rotate through the distributors with each order to be able to offer you everything you will need, be it Bulk Brown rice or Organic Mascara!
We are excited to be able to facilitate a group like this! Now, those of us living so far from ‘The Big City’ will be able to purchase items that have been, up until now, unavailable in our area.
We strongly encourage you, our customers and peers to let us know what you would like to see available for purchase.
Please contact us at the Happy Tree if you are interested so we can add you to the email group and send you order forms and updates.
Also, join our Buying Group Facebook Page for more information and updates.
Vintage Record Review
Bill’s Classic Records
Led Zeppelin III is the third album by the English rock band Led Zeppelin. It was recorded between January and July 1970 and was released on 5 October 1970 by Atlantic Records. Composed largely at a remote cottage in Wales known as Bron-Yr-Aur, this work represented a maturing of the band’s music towards a greater emphasis on folk and acoustic sounds. This album is generally praised, and acknowledged as representing an important milestone in the band’s history.
The Immigrant Song is perhaps the most famous song from this album but one of my favourites is “Gallows Pole”. It is one of the songs I use when teaching guitar to demonstrate the function of major and minor tonalities. Listen to the amazing rise and fall of emotion as the A major chord switches to the A minor chord.
One of the things that makes LP records desirable is the artwork on the covers. Led Zeppelin III’s original vinyl edition was packaged in a gatefold sleeve with an innovative cover, designed by Zacron, a multi-media artist whom Jimmy Page had met in 1963 whilst Zacron was a student at Kingston College of Art. Zacron had recently resigned a lectureship at Leeds Polytechnic to found Zacron Studios, and in 1970 Page contacted him and asked him to design the third album’s cover.
The cover and interior gatefold art consisted of a surreal collection of seemingly random images on a white background, many of them connected thematically with flight or aviation (as in “Zeppelin”). Behind the front cover was a rotatable laminated card disc, or volvelle, covered with more images, including photos of the band members, which showed through holes in the cover. Moving an image into place behind one hole would usually bring one or two others into place behind other holes. This kind of artwork cannot be easily replicated on a CD covers and because of the CD cover’s smaller size it is never as dramatic.

Green Tips for Back to School
.jpg&w=300&h=200&zc=1)
It’s already that time of year where the days are getting shorter and the countdown to the first day of school has begun. I was one of those kids who loved back to school shopping; crisp new paper, sharp pencils and fancy pens and erasers. I’d loiter in the stationary section trying all the new pens until I found the “perfect” one in the “perfect” shade to start the new year.
As I got older and learned more about the impact my choices made on the environment I sought green alternatives to sate my stationary fetish.
BUY GREEN SCHOOL SUPPLIES
Biodegradable pens, reclaimed wood pencils, natural\recycled plastic erasers, recycled paper lined with soy-based ink and even tree-free paper. A new favorite are the 100% recycled paper workbooks and Journals by Ecojot. They are colorful and Canadian made.
Binders made out of cardboard or recycled plastic.
Hemp or organic cotton pencil cases and non-plastic and re-usable containers to bring my home made lunch.
I must admit, looking for new ways to shrink my student carbon footprint was more rewarding than my usual trip to Grand and Toy. I was able to find unique items that felt more personal and reflected my desire to make a difference.
BRING AN ECO FRIENDLY LUNCH
Switching to reusable lunch bags, containers and utensils can save you money and significantly reduce your garbage footprint. There are seemingly endless options for lunch bags and boxes to make it “Cool” to bring food from home. An important point to remember when choosing containers and water bottles is to avoid ones that contain PVC, phthalates or BPA that can leach into food and liquids. There are many stainless steel and sturdy glass options available now in many shapes and sizes. An example of a less bulky option are Abeego Wraps from Victoria, BC. They make reusable sandwich wraps and snack packs from hemp/cotton fabric infused with a blend of beeswax and plant extracts that can be washed and reused indefinitely.
Here are some tips, tricks and recipes to get you on your way:

TRANSPORTATION
Walking or Biking to school is of course the best choice, but many kids live too far from their school or in an area with terrible winter weather. Taking a school bus, public transportation or carpooling are the best options for those living further away.
Of course when kids are old enough to get their driver’s license and a car they are pretty adamant about their new found independence and swear off ever taking the school bus or public transportation again. Carpooling with friends is a great option to save on gas money and reduce the number of cars on the road.
GREEN INITIATIVES AT SCHOOL
If your school doesn’t have any Green Routines in place already, speak up on behalf of the environment. – Suggest the school set up a recycling program at least for paper – Broach the idea of having Vermicompost Bins in classrooms and/or the cafeteria. They are a great teaching tool for learning about composting and soil nutrients as well as an easy source for top quality compost for the school grounds or garden.
What is Locavorism…?
“Those who are interested in eating food that is locally produced, not moved long distances to market, are called “locavores.” This word was the creation of Jessica Prentice of the San Francisco Bay Area at the time of World Environment Day, 2005. The [resulting] locavore movement is a movement in the United States and elsewhere that [developed] as an interest in sustainability and eco-consciousness became more prevalent. The food may be grown in home gardens or grown by local commercial groups interested in keeping the environment as clean as possible and selling food close to where it is grown. Some people consider food grown within a 100-mile radius of their location local, while others have other definitions. In general the local food is thought by those in the movement to taste better [and be more nutritious] than food that is shipped long distances.
Farmers’ markets play a role in efforts to eat what is local. Preserving food for those seasons when it is not available fresh from a local source is one approach some locavores include in their strategies. Those in the movement generally seek to keep use of fossil fuels to a minimum, thereby releasing less carbon dioxide into the air and preventing greater global warming.” (1)
This definition of Locavorism can also include your local small businesses, crafty neighbours and regional businesses. Here, in the north, we are surrounded with a wealth of natural resources, resourceful people and fertile land. Supporting local economies is an integral part of strengthening our food sovereignty and economic independence as well as a way to help protect the beauty that surrounds us for future generations.
As “Peak Oil” looms, communities all over the world are implementing changes to lessen their dependence on Oil and its many derivatives through returning to sustainable agricultural practices, building local skills and resources and strengthening community ties by bringing back Farmers’ Markets, establishing Food Co-Ops and Community Supported Agriculture (CSAs). These venues also showcase the variety of goods and services available locally such as candle makers, soap makers, wool spinners and dyers, herbal tea growers and remedy makers, to name just a few. In some cases, communities need very little from the “outside world” and many people have been able to become quite self-sufficient.
Every little bit counts, from switching to a local, Fair-Trade coffee roaster instead of supporting big chains, to growing herbs in your window to use in your cooking.
You have the power to vote with your dollar. Seek out local producers, support your local Farmers’ Markets, request your grocer have a Local Produce Section… And remember,
“Never underestimate the power of a small group of committed citizens to change the world. Indeed, it has never been done otherwise.” – Margaret Mead
