Eco Friendly Product Guide

No, you’re not on a cosmic trip. This is actually one in a set of greeting cards available from Aurora Visionary Art that are sensitive to the needs of the environment and give back to the world as well.

The cards are all printed on recycled paper, and the ink used on each card is soy ink. Keep in mind the greatness doesn’t stop there. A portion of all of the proceeds are donated to an organization that feeds children in India through the website Hamsa-Yoga.org. There is commentary on the back of each card describing the imagery and the artist responsible for said imagery.

The cards are available for purchase in a variety of ways, including by the dozen ($36), the half dozen ($18), a gift set ($20), and wholesale ordering if you are looking to purchase a mass quantity of orders.

The brown-bag lunch has long been an American staple, from school kids to even the office worker throwing his/her lunch in the fridge at work (commonly also with things such as “Steve’s lunch…DO NOT EAT” written all over it).

In keeping with the green lifestyle, lunchbags should be a simple thing to come by. The Recycled Paper lunch bags from NaturalValue.com are a great alternative to the traditional brown paper lunch.

Take your lunch to work, or send the kids to school with these bags. Doing so will provide a good feeling, knowing that even something as simple as packing up that lunch can be good for the environment. When you are done, you can just toss the bag in the recycle bin and send it back to which it came. It’s the perfect lunchtime scenario, really.

These recycled paper lunch bags are available through Greenfeet.com for only $1.79 per 50 count of bags.

Recyclables and paper should really go hand in hand. Therefore, when it comes to the Birdbrain Journal Notebook, it’s easy to see how this can be a clear choice for the eco-friendly shopper.

Perfect for keeping your notes, poems, daily tasks or anything you need to jot down in one spot, these 5″ x 7″ pads are so cute and were designed by Carolyn Gavin. These journals are made from 100% post consumer waste recycled paper, and in addition, all glues and inks used are vegetable-based.

They would make a great gift, are made from 100% recyclable material and are totally recyclable, as well. Not a bad find at all.

Buying recycled products helps to close the loop of recycled materials. This recycled material journal will cost you $11, and is available through JournalsandBooks.com.
