		<description><![CDATA[Earth Day is later this month, so I thought it would be appropriate to highlight a cool environmentally friendly toy.  A Google search for &#8220;eco-friendly toys&#8221; brings up a myriad of results, but Earthopoly caught my attention for a few reasons. 
First, I love that a classic toy has been recreated into an eco-friendly version.  Second, I think the Earthopoly version of Monopoly adds even more educational elements into the classic board game than the original version has.  For example, the original version teaches children about money and investing, but the Earthopoly version also teaches them about the world as they [...]<p>Post from: <a href="http://www.blisstree.com/playlibrary">Play Library</a></p>

<p>First, I love that a classic toy has been recreated into an eco-friendly version.  Second, I think the Earthopoly version of Monopoly adds even more educational elements into the classic board game than the original version has.  For example, the original version teaches children about money and investing, but the Earthopoly version also teaches them about the world as they become caretakers of locations across the globe.  Finally, Earthopoly teaches children about the environment (of course).  Children collect Carbon Credits throughout the game and trade them in for Clean Air.<span id="more-1956"></span></p>
<p>Earthopoly is made by <a target="_blank" href="http://www.lateforthesky.com">Late for the Sky</a>.  According to the company&#8217;s website:</p>
<ul>
<li>All paper is 100% recyclable.</li>
<li>The plastic shrinkwrap used in the packaging is completely biodegradable.</li>
<li>All tokens are made by nature.</li>
<li>The glass used for the game&#8217;s Carbon Credits comes partially from recycled glass (the goal is to use 100% recycled glass once a supplier can be found).</li>
</ul>
<p>You can read more about Earthopoly and the story behind its creation on the <a target="_blank" href="http://www.lateforthesky.com/Content/Product-30-1-239.htm">Late for the Sky, Earthopoly</a> web page. </p>
