Go Green Forever Stamps

September 21, 2011 0

This morning I stopped by the post office to pick up stamps to mail a green-goody package to this month’s Facebook Fan Page winner.  And guess what? They have the perfect Go Green Forever stamps! Each stamp illustrates simple things that you can do to help the planet everyday. I really love the Buy Local Produce + Reuse, share rides, recycle more and use public transportation stamps.

And I found out the United States Postal Service provides eco-friendly mailing materials and meets all the standard for Cradle to Cradle Certification. Fantastic!

September 20, 2011 0

I love Petit Collage – the colors and sweet designs are just too sweet to resist. These lovely wood art pieces are printed on sustainable maple veneer and super-affordable starting at only $15. I love the idea of doing a wall of the city or animal designs.

Ocean Minded: Vegan + Recycled Sandals

September 19, 2011 0

Yesterday, when we were at Blueline Paddle Surf Shop picking up our paddle boards, I had to check out their selection of eco-friendly sandals. And I fell in love with the Umi from Ocean Minded – made from recycled plastic bottles, car tires and croslite, these sandals are super-comfy and vegan. I picked up a pair in turquoise, one of my favorite colors. You can grab a pair from the Ocean Minded website for $19.99 – what a deal, since I paid $30.

Which color would you choose?

Have a Lovely Green Weekend + A Few Green Things

September 16, 2011 0

This morning, the mister and I went on a 2 hour bike ride at the beach. It was fantastic – we stopped to admire some amazing blue crabs cleaning their homes along the bike trail and then stopped and watched in amazement as a beautiful Blue Spotted Stingray chased a school of fish. Isn’t it fun to get out in the middle of the work day and do something adventurous?

While I get showered up so I can finish my work day, here are a few green things to take you into the weekend:

– Organic Valley is giving away $200 to NCGA food coop.
– A super cute Trick or Treat bag for a good cause.
– A fantastic cave in Mexico. Wow.
– Talk about Up Close and Personal.
– Would you go camping on the lake?
– Did you grab your FREE sterling silver earrings from AmaraGold? 

Have a lovely safe weekend, I will see you back here on Monday.

xo,
Sweet Greens
