Posted by organicebaby in Holidays | No Comments

As we rush to get that last minute Mother’s Day gifts we scratch our heads wondering what to get our Mom who already has everything or tells us she wants nothing because our love is just enough. Choose one of these options and show love to your Mom and Mother Earth.

The Planet Bag

As we all move toward using reusable bags your Mom will truly appreciate The Planet Bag a heavyweight cotton shopping bag designed to be used instead of plastic or paper bags at the grocery store checkout. Unlike most cotton bags, The Planet Bag is a sturdy, machine washable, roomy bag that will accommodate all of your bulky and heavy grocery items. She will especially appreciate this bag if she lives in a city like Washington, DC where patrons of supermarkets and restaurants are charged a 5 cents bag tax on each bag they take away from the store.

The natural, nourishing, age-fighting formulas create a luxurious experience and soft, youthful results.

Korres hydrating Body Butters soften, moisturize, and restructure the skin.

Jump-start Your Eco-Friendly Lifestyle

Apr 21

Posted by organicebaby in Eco-Friendly | No Comments

We all want to do our part to protect the environment, follow these four easy steps to jump-start your Eco-Friendly lifestyle.

Use Less Water

Shut off the water while you brush your teeth
Take showers that are a minute or two shorter
Only run full loads of laundry and dishes
Buy from sustainable producers. These are farmers, ranchers, and other producers that use techniques that pollute less and use less water. You can do some research online or ask at your local organic market to find these products.

2. Use Less Energy

Buy energy-efficient appliances
Unplug chargers when you’re not using them. Cell phone and other chargers use up powers even if there’s nothing attached to them.
Put devices with remotes, like T.V.s, DVD’s, and stereos, on a power strip and turn it off when you’re not using them.
Walk or ride your bike for short trips. You will also get a nice workout.
Buy local products. It takes energy to transport food and other products across the country. Buying local not only supports your local economy, it helps them use less energy.

3. Reuse

Most of us know the three R’s: reduce, reuse, recycle, but when we work on conserving, we often leave reuse out of the picture. – Cut old yogurt containers into strips to make plant labels. Refill old food jars with homemade foods or a beautiful bouquet.

4. Use environmentally friendly products.

PLEASE read the ingredients label before purchasing. Natural or organic on the label does not always make it so.

Eco-Friendly is better for the environment and better for you. Conserving resources helps save you money, which is something most of us are happy to live with.

Seventh Generation has a great line of Eco-friendly cleaning products to get your started.
