Put Your Money Where Your Solar Is

March 3rd, 2009

I just learned about a great new project the EPA is running, which motivates businesses to commit to powering their business with renewable energy like solar, hydro and wind power.

The site is called EPA Green Power Partners and is a great place to find businesses that are as serious as you are about being green and maintaining a healthy planet. We noticed that one of our sponsors is listed there, along with several other great businesses that we already knew about – and we found lots more to choose from.

So Vote With Your Dollars and shop for products, services and information with EPA Partners like:

Gaiam: Yoga, Wellness, Eco-Living
Dell: Home Computers and IT
US Recall News: Product Recall Information

Green Gift Wrapping

December 3rd, 2008

Just in time for the holidays, here are some green gift wrapping ideas from Gaiam to keep you from feeling so guilty when you look around the room on Christmas morning and see all of that wasted gift wrapping paper.

For Great Gree Giftwrapping Ideas…

1. Keep your used aluminum foil throughout the year and use it for space-age gift wrap for the kids come Christmas time.

2. Reuse your shopping bags – simple but effective and cheap!

3. Keep those used gas-station-bought maps from the last family vacation. Not only do they make great green gift wrap, but it will remind your family of what a great time you had!
