Even if you have already purchased a traditional calendar for 2008, I want to tell you about this amazing Ecological calendar that is unlike any other calendar you have seen before. I received both the 2007 and 2008 Ecological Calendars for review, and I am just stunned by how beautifully detailed they are. Unlike a traditional calendar with one page for a picture and then one page with the calendar grid, the Ecological Calendar uses 12″x36″ panels to display the seasons, with information about the stars, the phases of the moon, how plants and animals are reacting to that particular season, and more. I had to seriously shrink the image in order to fit it on the page, but this gives you an idea of what the panels look like:
Isn’t that beautiful? Each season begins with either a solstice or an equinox, and the calendar illustrates a multitude of other natural annual phenomenon – moon phases, variation between tides, meteor showers, seasonal constellations and much more. Every time you look at a panel you’ll notice something new!
The Ecological Calendar is printed with soy ink on recycled paper, and best of all, it is not expensive. All four panels for 2008 plus a full-color booklet with even more facts about the changing seasons of the Northern Hemisphere cost only $14.99 plus $8.00 shipping, so $22.99 for a truly unique and beautiful Calendar that is more like a piece of art to display in your home. The site also has appointment books, greeting cards, and candles whose scent match each of the seasons. Something for everyone! If you know someone who loves nature, please send them the link to The Ecological Calendar site, they are sure to love it.
Yeah, I’m first! I couldn’t resist. : ) What an unique calendar!
