#11 Holiday Giveaway Week: Greentainer Reusable Containers

December 1, 2010 0
Giveaway number eleven is from Greentainer. Greentainer is a safe alternative to plastic food storage and they are giving one lucky winner – your choice of Greentainer. That’s right, you choose the container that you think you will use the most!
Greentainer’s are light weight stainless steel containers that are perfect for school lunches, snacks or any food that you want to take on the go. They are made using a high quality grade 304 stainless steel that is both reusable and recyclable – with no toxins!

My family uses our Greentainers every single day. I put the small container from the Greentainer snack set in Eben’s reusable divided lunch box to hold fruit, olives or other foods that may leak on the other part of his lunch. The small container keeps the food secure, leaving the rest of his lunch dry and delicious. We use the larger snack container to pack his daily snacks in. It is the perfect size for grapes, nuts, seeds, crackers, cut up veggies or dry cereal. You can also use the snack set to pack a snack with dip – the containers fit inside each other. Brilliant!

The large Greentainers are perfect for holding your lunch and they are two tiered, great for foods that you don’t want to get mixed together. These are also perfect to throw in your handbag or car for those restaurant leftovers! This is the way that we use our large Greentainers.

Jump over Greentainer and choose a Greentainer or two for someone on your holiday list, then leave a comment below. You have 1 week to enter – tell your friends and family so they don’t miss out on the fun!

– The winner is Angela! Congrats and thanks for playing!

Green Community:: Team Eco Etsy

December 1, 2010 18

NOTE FROM SWEET GREENS: Today Sweet Greens is excited to announce my first Eco Guest Blogger Rikkianne from Chakra Pennywhistle and Team Eco Etsy. You will remember Rikkianne from her fab Etsy Shop, Chakra Pennywhistle, she has been featured on Sweet Greens here. Rikkianne is also a member of Team Eco Etsy and she is here today to tell us more about this lovely group. Take it away Rikkianne, and thank you for sharing this wonderful group with Sweet Greens readers.

Hi Everyone!

My name is Rikkianne and today I am excited to tell you about a special group that is very near and dear to my heart. Team Eco Etsy is a group of talented Etsy Artists that are dedicated to reducing, reusing and recycling. The group’s focus is basically to “consider the source”. By that I mean that each member takes the environment into consideration when they make, sell, and package their products.

When browsing the group’s products on Etsy, one can find everything from recycled skateboard jewelry to the most luxurious organic handmade quilts. From accessories and clothing, to housewares and personal care, Eco Etsy is the group to search and find a gift that is thoughtful in every way.

Eco Etsy’s Mission

“Our members are just as dedicated to using recycled materials in their creations as they are about recycling packaging. Eco Etsy takes the safety of the environment in mind in the way that we run our small businesses and create our sales items. During our team’s growth, we have become heavily focused on promoting Eco-living as a whole; every facet of our lifestyle can be more Eco-friendly, and our team has come to focus strongly on this all-around outlook.”

Personally, I learn so much by being a member of this group. Not only have the members provided me with great advice in all areas of Eco-conscious making and selling, they also offer valuable information and ideas regarding living an Eco-minded lifestyle. By visiting the team’s blog, readers can find Eco tips, tutorials, Eco fashion picks, and member features. The blog is one of my daily reads and is always an incredible source for all things handmade and green.

Another special aspect of the team are the special promotions, specifically when the Eco Etsy members work together to lend a hand to various nonprofit groups. In the past, the team has raised money for groups such as Heifer International and The Nature Conservancy. Another special project held this past Earth Day was Project Green Share. This was a community effort where members got out locally and spread the green by sharing a gift of seeds and starter planters. My daughter and I especially enjoyed this! We spent the day fashioning packets out of grocery store bags for our seeds, and then going around to local businesses to pass them out!

Team Eco Etsy is a welcoming, creative, and informative team packed full of green goodness. I am honored to be a member and thankful to share my experience!
