Happy Earth Day- Celebrate with a Giveaway
Although it's almost over now, I did want to do an eco friendly post in honor of the day. I have been noticing a lot lately while out shopping that there are so much more things out there either made of recycled material or just made in a more eco friendly way. So I thought I'd share some with you. You'd be surprised at what is available these days.
- Toothbrush and razors made from recycled yogurt cups.
- Umbrella made from recycled bottles for the canopy and recycled aluminum for the handle.
- And this amazes me 'cause it seems so obvious, but why not sooner- aluminum foil made from, hmm, recycled foil.
- Recycled coffee tumbler.
- Eco friendly iPhone case made from recycled bottles.
- Eco friendly activewear.
- Eco friendly, biodegradable, and recyclable disposable dinnerware.
- Recycled binders and other office products.
- And I think I might love this one the most 'cause of all of the little tubes of makeup around- eco friendly cosmetics. The lipstick tubes are made from corn. The boxes the lipsticks come in, plant them, they grow flowers. Cargo brand. Way cool.
- Even your dog can be earth friendly with biodegradable, compostable poopie bags.
- Eco friendly toy companies even exist.
Speaking of toys, I have one to give away. This eco friendly indoor gardening kit is made from recycled milk jugs. Planting with you children is a great way to talk about conservation, natural resources, plant growth, earth friendly practices, bugs, sun, water. My girls love to plant and really love to see the flowers grow. This will go to the a random commenter. Tell me you'd like it and also tell us what eco friendly product you've seen out there. I'll choose the winner on Sunday. Or Monday. ;-)
Had to add that I just found this. Way cool. I love Sun Chips and now love them even more.
Via the pull-a-name-out-of-a-bowl method, Darcy at Life With My 3 Boybarians is the winner of the recycled indoor gardening kit. Congrats Darcy! I'll get in touch with you.
