It’s crazy how many old cell phones and chargers most people have sitting around the house. I have a huge drawer in my office filled with nothing but cell phones and phone accessories. There must be at least six – and a couple of chargers for each of them. And a car charger or two. And some old PDA’s, too, now that I’m thinking about it. I’d love to get rid of all that stuff – but I never really had a clue of what to do with all of it. It’s not like I’m going to toss a bunch of cell phones in the garbage can.
Did you know you can drop all your old cell phones, pagers, PDAs, chargers and other communications accessories at any Staples
store? They’ll recycle them and better still, they’ll donate a portion of proceeds to the Sierra Club
.
Clean your house – help green the planet! How great is that!

Lower price. Fewer calories. Fewer chemicals. Fewer additives. No artificial colors. Lower sodium. No cans or bottles means less work – less shopping, less schleppping, less garbage. And a decreased carbon footprint. Sounds good, doesn’t it? It’s possible. You can enjoy less expensive, healthier soft drinks and live a more eco-friendly lifestyle AND it’s less work for you! Yes, it’s possible.
With a Soda-Club Home Soda Maker
. Sleek and stylish, the home soda maker is a countertop appliance about the size of a coffeemaker that transforms water into fresh, fizzy seltzer/sparkling water at the push of a button. Soda makers operate without batteries, electricity or plumbing. Making seltzer and soda takes just seconds and requires no clean-up. A reusable, one-liter carbonating bottle (provided by Soda-Club) is filled with water and screwed into the machine fitting. A CO2 carbonator, housed inside the soda maker, adds carbonation at the touch of a button – as much or as little carbonation as you prefer. After carbonating the water, you can add one of over 25 different Soda-Club
sodamix flavors to make your favorite, great-tasting soda. Or add a splash of your favorite fresh juice for a completely natural sparkling beverage.
Sugar free flavors are available. As are low-sodium selections and energy drink formulas. All Soda-Club flavor syrups are certified Kosher.
We’re here every day scouring the web and reporting on how to get the best deals on the best stuff from the best sources the web has to offer. Don’t miss out. Visit us often.

I was at a lovely holiday party recently and fell in love. No. Not with the host or hostess. And not with one of the other guests, either. I fee in love with this Easy Lounge.
OMG! Stunning isn’t it! And it looked fabulous in the room, too. And comfortable!
I loved it so much I had to track it down and post a picture – if only to pay homage to the great design and workmanship.
The Easy Lounge is hand-crafted with fine attention to detail. The smooth, sensous curves exhibit an Asian inspired minimalism that feels right at home in the contemporary world. Designed by Bannavis Andrew Sribyatta for PIE, represented at Vivavi, one of New York’s premier sources for original designer furniture and decor made from sustainable and ecofriendly resources.

You’re going to be sitting in front of the computer anyway. You know you are. You might as well make use of a bit of that time to save some serious cash.
Plan ahead, shop for your or your children’s textbooks now and you’ll have those books in plenty of time for the new semester.
Did you know that you can save as much as 90% by buying used textbooks? That’s serious money!
And one more thing – you can sell your used textbooks, too. You’ll either save on your next order and make a few extra dollars. Either way – it’s economical and eco-friendly.
Go for used textbooks – you’ll be living green and saving green and tickled pink, of course.
Just another of our handy savvy shopping tips.

The bathmats in my master bathroom have been getting me down lately. Even when they’re clean, they just don’t look fresh and inviting. They just look like a fuzzy towel there on my bathroom floor. I like the clean lines and the zen-spa like vibe of this Hinoki Bath Mat 
.
Hinoki Bath Mat (large)
$55 at VivaTerra – Eco Living with Style 
I hadn’t thought of wood – but it’s an attractive and practical alternative. Especially the Japanese cypress, also known as Hinoki. Well known in Japan, Hinoki wood is prized for its natural therapeutic properties. Hinoki contains natural antibacterial agents and is resistant to humidity; both of which make it a great option for the bathroom. This wood is also rich in minerals and essential oils used in Japan for treatment of skin ailments and to reduce stress; both of which make it a great option for turning your bathroom into a home spa.

When it comes to towels, I’m a big believer that bigger is so much better. I like a HUGE towel. I want to be able to wear it as a dress after a bath or shower!
Like the Platinum Bath Sheet from Linensource
. True luxury. And it’s hard to imagine anything bigger. These towels are 36″ x 70″ – that’s 3 feet by almost 6 feet! What could be bigger! Super soft and absorbent blend of cotton and bamboo. Bamboo fibers are quick drying and have natural anti-microbial properties. That helps to keep these enormous bath sheets dry and fresh and ready to use.
Originally $48, now $39.99 at Linensource. Coordinating wash cloths, hand and bath towels, rugs and accessories are available.

One of the easiest ways to go green is to make a small investment in an organic cotton shopping bag. It folds up and takes up little room in your handbag and over the course of a year you alone can be responsible for HUNDREDS and maybe even THOUSANDS fewer plastic bags on the planet.
The only downside – some of those shopping bags are really ugly. Problem solve. Opt for the Dot Tote 
from Fossil.com 
. At $20 it’s a small investment in a greener future for all of us. And it’s totally cute, too!
