One of my favorite websites is www.swapathome.com . Its a great venue for recycling and/or thrift-conscious folks! An easy format allows you to advertise your unwanted items FREE of charge. You can also "buy" other members stuff on an earned point basis. The only expense is the shipping fee for the items you request from others. The site has its own banking system, so once you've swapped a few of your items, you'll have points and $$ to request swaps from other members. I've received some great stuff; movies, household goods, new clothing, and even a couple of items I've subsequently ebayed at a profit.
Did you know that the KEDS company is introducing a new sneak this spring that's made of recycled and organic materiels? They're pretty cute; decorated by artists to portray the impact of bottled water on our environment! (see photo below)
I found this information on a resourceful new green called www.everybodygreen.com . Cutting edge stuff over there from the newest green products to the latest news on the green front. Games and articles for kids and adults alike. Seems like a logical time of year for the whole family to get green together, and this website is the textbook to get everyone onboard. They have a glossary to get you up to speed on the lingo and support if you have questions. They also sell some sweet GreenBead bracelets that are made of cornstarch based resins (NOT petroleum based) and they have a little charm that says "GREEN" on each one. A portion of every bracelet sale is donated to non-profit environmental orgs.
In case you haven't tried the green routine yet, let me tell you, its fun and it usually saves you money. In this economy, who wouldn't like that? Plus, going green is a valuable family activity that everyone can participate in toward the common goal. Its a win-win.
