An Easy Way to Live Greener

Posted in Breaking News, Ecofriendly Shopping, Giving Back, Great Ideas at 12:44 am by Deb Savvy

Wouldn’t it be great if you could eliminate all the unwanted junk mail that you receive every day? You can block spam e-mails easily, but it can be really hard to get all those catalogs and free credit card offers to stop filling your mail box. Yesterday I actually received THREE offers for the same credit card. No wonder the airlines are going broke – they spend like $1 every single day just trying to get me to sign up for a credit card I already have! OY!

Easiest Way to Go Green

Well here’s a way to stop the insanity. GreenDimes.com stops your entire household’s junk mail and plants 10 trees on your behalf for $20. They also offer you the choice to remove only the catalogs you don’t want. You can help improve the environment by stopping the mail you don’t want to receive in the first place. The impact of this is huge. In just over a year of operation, they’ve stopped 3 million pounds of junk mail and saved/planted 1,000,000 trees. They have over 75,000 happy members and have gotten a ton of press – NY Times, Ellen, Good Morning America to name a few. 1st 5 million who sign up for Free also get a free issue of Plenty mag from greendimes.com

It’s always a battle – the gardener versus the creatures enjoying the garden. On the one hand, those pesty critters are a good sign, nature’s indication that your garden is healthy and a place that pests find inviting. On the other hand – they’re pests. Ick! And getting rid of them can be such a battle. And there are so few non-toxic eco-friendly options at the local garden center.

Bench Talk

Posted in Department Stores, Ecofriendly Shopping, Occasional Furniture, Seating at 5:07 am by Deb Savvy

I’ve been shopping for a small attractive bench, something to keep near the front door. And I found something WONDERFUL!

Jakarta Hotel Bench - Brown

East meets West. Jakarta, dubbed the “Jewel of Asia” by European spice traders, has long been a rich mix of Eastern and Western cultures and styles. Dutch and British influences are evident in the architecture and décor of this ancient Indonesian trading port. That distinctive style is captured handsomely in this Jakarta Hotel Bench – Brown . Finely crafted of renewable, locally grown bamboo and rattan, which helps the local economies and also discourages deforestation of precious rain forests. The hand-caned seat is crafted by skilled artisans following generations old tradition. Sturdy and practical, with a rich java colored finish, this piece is a perfect accent at the foot of the bed, or anywhere that needs a little spice. $388 at Soft Surroundings .

The Green Paper

Posted in Art Supplies, Coupon Codes, Ecofriendly Shopping, Hobbies and Crafts, Office Supplies, Paper at 5:01 pm by Deb Savvy

We’re all looking for ways to be more eco-conscious consumers. At least we all should be. Eco-friendly papers are a great way to start. And in honor of Earth Day, the good folks at Paper.com are offering green shoppers a chance to save 15% on all of their popular earth-friendly cotton papers.

The cotton used to manufacture these papers is not from the puffy white flower that we all recognize as cotton, but rather the linters, or byproduct, from the textile industry. Textiles are made using the longest, highest-quality fibers – the rest is discarded. This wasted cotton is salvaged and used to manufacture these cotton papers. Nothing could be more eco-friendly than reusing a product that is considered waste – otherwise this would all end up in the landfill. Enter coupon code GREEN2008 to save 15% on cotton papers at Paper.com. Offer expires 4/28/2008.

Looking for more great deals? Visit our Home Office Mall, Crafts, Hobbies and Art Supplies Mall or our Stationery and Invitations Mall for always up to the minute insider deals on all things paper.
