Earth Day Feature Package 

1. Safeway and the Go Green Initiative Partner for Earth Day Contest 
PLEASANTON, Calif., April 4, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Safeway Inc. announces their partnership today with the Go Green Initiative to launch the first annual Go Green Glogster Earth Day contest. Students will be asked to investigate the sustainability of the food, water, or energy system in their community, and express their findings through videos, podcasts, blogs, music and photos compiled in a "Glog" (see www.edu.glogster.com). For the food system, students will examine the availability of locally grown and organic food in their neighborhood; food safety procedures at their local grocer; and the impact that higher fuel prices will have on the price of food where they live. Safeway is providing an organic garden to a winning school; a full-service, all natural BBQ for a winning class; and five (5) one-hundred dollar cash prizes to winning students.  

2. Korbel Garden Refutes Sustainable Stereotypes 
GUERNEVILLE (RUSSIAN RIVER VALLEY), Calif., April 10, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- When Korbel Champagne Cellars' spectacular garden opens on Sunday, April 15th for the 2012 season, visitors will marvel at the extraordinarily beautiful plantings – including 250 varieties of roses – scattered among the towering redwoods that surround the historic circa 1882 Korbel House. What won't be obvious to visitors is Korbel Champagne Cellar's commitment to sustainability, a commitment that extends to every aspect of its operations. As the world celebrates Earth Day on April 22nd this year, Korbel Garden and Korbel Champagne Cellars demonstrate that many of the stereotypes associated with sustainability no longer apply.
