Frogs are a Prosperity Symbol
Christmas is behind us, but the gift-giving season never ends. Frogs are wonderful gifts not only for children, but for "children" of any age and if you think of them as a prosperity symbol, well then, frog giving opens up a whole new Pandora's box. You may want to think of them not only as a baby gift, but a wedding gift, a gift for someone who just landed a new job; …. use your imagination!
We found this delightful frog stuffed toy animal, smiling from one side to the other, so we want to show him to you because he is so lovable. He is made from 100% pure, Certified Organic cotton fabric and stuffing and therefore he fits into the "green" category of our mission to nudge you into a "green" lifestyle. This is an eco-gift that will make anyone happy. Here he is, and when you click here he he'll tell you all the details about him / her?
Always looking form green stuff,

Can Green be Sampled?
Most people I know want to go GREEN as quickly as possible. I do, too. We are not the only ones touting Green as holiday gifts. We have discovered a neat website that not only displays everyday user products from LED lights to toilet paper, to compostable trash bags and food containers, but, just in time for Christmas they offer a Green Sampler for under $20.00. I figured that is a pretty timely gift, as green is exploding everywhere. I also ordered biodegradable "doggie bags" for a friend, and they are not the kind of "doggie bags" we used to ask for a long time ago to take uneaten food home (here I am dating myself!), they are the ones she will take along when she takes her dogs for a walk.
The samplers are a great way to ease the morphing into a green lifestyle. Here is what you get:
• Paper Towels 3-pk.
• Facial Tissues
• All Purpose Cleaner 32 oz.
• Kitchen Scrubber Sponge 1-pk.
• 13-gal. EcoSafe™ Tall Kitchen Bags
• Toilet Tank Bank
$19.69
All you have to do is click here , go to the "lifestyle" tab and select your choice of samplers at 20% OFF! Don't forget using the coupon code of EHW20; you wouldn't want to forfeit the 20% discount, would you?
You still have time to get this into Christmas stockings,

Now here is something you can truly be proud to put under the tree! Not only are these gift items beautiful, but they represent global fairness along with being exotic and artistic.
"Fair Trade" is a system of world-wide exchange that seeks to empower workers in third countries in a manner that is respectful and profitable to them instead of exploiting them as has been done so often in the past. This is not about charity; rather it is about partnership and honest compensation to ethnic artisans and workers.
Check out these wonderful items and make a commitment to fair global trade. Gifts with Humanity through its association with Fair Trade Organizations seeks to create sustainable and positive change in developing and developed countries.
These make valued gifts and right now they offer free shipping. Check out their website by clicking the banner above. Also notice the beautiful sidebar jewelry and the very magnificent carved Nativity Scene.
We seeks the best for you,
Britt

Holiday Gifts Gallore!
Once Thanksgiving is behind us, the pull to the Christmas Holiday becomes relentless. It's suddenly high time to acquire the "holiday spirit" and that means making a list and checking it often more than twice. Now the question becomes acute: what holiday gift to give to family, friends, a colleague, a frequent traveler, your "significant other" ….
While our society thinks gift giving is appropriate at this time of the year, why not give a "green" gift that delights not only the recipient, but benefits the environment at the same time? "Green" has exploded and has fast become "the right thing to do." Zero sustainability is a worthy goal and why not let your concern shine through in your holiday gifts? That way you truly care to give the very best!
The Ultimate Green Store is your one-stop green shopping destination for home, office and everyone in the family. There you find a wide variety of gifts for men, women, travelers, kitchens, etc., or you can present your own wish list to "Santa" via a gift register! In fact you can make this your one-stop green shopping destination for everyone (including yourself!) on your holiday gift list and earn FREE SHIPPING on all holiday orders over $100 -- as long as you use the code of "Holiday2009." (This offer expires January 15, 2009.) And, don't forget your babies and pets in your green holiday gifts giving -- the greener the better!

Is it "natural," "non-organic" or "certified organic?"
In my quest for all things healthy and "natural", I have come to realize that what potential customers are told in an offer, often conceals details that should be known before the consumer can make an informed choice.
That's why, when I came upon an article by Ed Mass of the website "Yes It's Organic" my eyes were opened to some meaningful terminology emerging in the world of all things "green." For openers, I found out the difference between the terms "natural" vs. "certified organic" in how cotton is grown, for instance. Cotton, of course, is thought of as being "natural", although that does not mean that it lacks toxicity. Maybe "natural" should more correctly be termed "non-organic."
This is what I found the difference to be: "Non-organic" (natural) crops are typically sprayed with insecticides, herbicides, etc. causing multiple insults to the soil, the environment, and the crop itself. I learned that these sprayed toxins result in volatile organic compounds released into the air, where they contribute to green house gases, and where they not only harm the health of the soil but also pollute ground water, lakes and streams. Most of all, concerning the customer directly, this sprayed toxic cocktail is also retained in the crops as they grow and are harvested and finally, you guessed it, there is a great chance of you wearing the residues in your clothing.
It's scary stuff and once you understand the downside, you can better value the other, eco-friendly alternative of "certified organic." Here no toxins such as fertilizers and pesticides are used; instead, organic matter and crop rotation is used to build strong and nutrient-rich soil not resulting in negatives either to the environment or to you.
That sounds like win-win to me; I'll go for that, and I'll henceforth examine the value when I hear "natural."
If you'd like to read this informative article by Ed Mass, CEO of Yes It's Organic, in its entirety, click on the icon below and after viewing the short video, look for "Articles" on the lower left side panel. It's a real eye-opener. Or just go directly to the article.

Green Living -- What does Green Living Mean Anyway?
So what does green living mean, anyway? A lot of people have different definitions of green living, but it really all comes down to one fundamental concept. The earth's resources should not be depleted more rapidly than they can be replenished. That is the main and beginning concept and from there comes everything else. For instance, caring for the environment, caring for animals and other living creatures, caring for your health, your local community and the world.
There are all sorts of different resources in this world and when you start to look at them in detail, from fossil fuels to forests, agricultural land to wildlife, the ocean's depths to the air that we breathe. You will start to see how everything is interlinked and interconnected and that the actions we take today can definitely impact the future. Starting today, we should all stop for a minute and briefly reflect on our lifestyle and determine if there are actions and steps we can take to protect and preserve those resources.
We need to think about the concept of green living (can also be called sustainable living) as being very similar to your family's budget. If we are spending more than we make each month and start to neglect paying our bills, the bill collectors will start calling. If you continue to go down that path, you will end up owing so much money due to interest that you will never be able to pay it back. On the other side, if you're careful with your money and expenses, perhaps even save a little, and you're able to live within your means and keep everyone happy, especially yourself.

Banana Paper, Sugar Paper, Lemon Paper?
This blog is born today, on this wet day of hurricane Ida. This is all for the Love of Green, because Green is the "color" of the future. You may even say "green" is exploding. We are establishing a Green website, to be finished soon, where we bundle Green user products from drinking water, nutritional beverages, skin care and other personal care products to clothing for babies and the whole family, to paper (yes, Banana Paper, of all things) to anything else you may choose to "Green" your environment.
We invite you to come by often and also to contribute with your ideas of Green, things you would like to add to your environmentally-conscious list of user products. We like to hear from you and invite you into our online community.
In spite of late (November) hurricane Ida, the advent of the 2009 Holiday Season is approaching fast and since paper has a big place in holiday writing and gift-giving, we start off today with environmental papers. Yes, Banana Paper, Lemon Paper, Sugar Paper (I know, we haven't heard of them before either) actually are almost Greener than Green. They are actually more environmental than recycled papers as they are made from organic waste materials, such as banana stems. Really cool! I am impressed when someone takes a waste and turns it into something useful and even beautiful. See for yourself.
Not only does this company make unusual papers for personal and office use, but they are also philanthropists. Portions of almost all sales go to the support of a Costa Rican Orphanage. I like to deal with people like that. Now you are just in time for a pre-Thanksgiving promotion. Just click on the line below ....
Enjoy 20% OFF on all inventory! Use code PRETHX. November 6 - 26, 2009.
