Why does everything have to be about money? Here is another example from The Story of Stuff about items that are specifically designed for the dump. I hope the U.S. starts to implement take back laws to help stop the 25 million tons of e waste that is produced each year.
What are your thoughts?
How do you prevent e waste?
Or, what do you do with your e waste?
Today I was happy to slip away for an impromptu trip to Costco with Mr. Sweet Greens. I always enjoy my time shopping with him, especially when it is just the two of us. And guess what? Costco now has organic, shade grown coffee from Ruta Maya. The best part, you can get two 2.2 pound bags for only $36.99.Which is quite a bargain when you compare Amazon’s price for just one 2.2 pound bag at $52.00.
The rest of the weekend should be fairly low key and relaxed – which are my favorite types of weekends. How about you, do you like weekends that are jam packed with fun? Or do you like to snuggle up with a good book and a warm cup of organic tea?
While I daydream about the yummy meal that Mr. Sweet Greens has planned, here are a few green things that I thought you would enjoy:
– I want an enchanting windshield rainbow, please.
– I was mentioned on this lovely blog. How nice is that! {blush}
– Alexa Meade paints people. Look again, those aren’t portraits.
– Shhh. Eben and I are going to make this as a holiday gift for Mr. Sweet Greens.
– Could someone please invite me to a Backyard Harvest Party?
– Where the Wild Things Are Halloween costumes – brilliant!
– This Apple Cider recipe looks yummy and will keep you warm this weekend.
– Doesn’t a bowl full of organic raspberries sound delicious right about now?
I hope you enjoy your weekend and get a chance to relax. I will see you back bright and early Monday morning – I miss you already.
xo,
Sweet Greens

What did you think? Do you like the quality?
I would love to hear your recommendations before I buy the set.
Did you know that you can utilize carbon neutral shipping via UPS? This is how it works: For a small per package free, you can use UPS carbon neutral to easily offset the carbon dioxide emissions that were generated by shipping your package. This is how I will be shipping my holiday packages this year.
How about you, what ways have you found to reduce your shipping impact on the environment?
I love the moisturizing body bars from Leap Organics. I haven’t tried these USDA certified organic and fair-trade bars yet. However they are produced using renewable energy, packaged with recycled material, FSC certified, vegan, bio-degradable and manufactured wind energy. Can it get much better than that? Yes it can! My favorite part so far – the packaging. I would buy it simply because the design is lovely – just saying.
