Eco Friendly Product Guide

Recyclables, recyclables, recyclables. This word cannot be stressed enough when concerning a “green” or “eco-friendly” style of living. The guys and gals over at LetsGoGreen.biz understand this on a large scale. As one would hope, all of the products available through the site are Eco-Friendly.

An easy find, and something that we may just take for granted every day is facial tissue. On the site, one can find a large variety of recycled facial tissues, ranging from $2.09 for 10 packs of pocket tissue to $1.59 for a box of 85 recycled facial tissues.

Especially during the cold and flu season, tissues can be used in rampant numbers. It only makes sense to seek ones out that are made from recycled paper. You can even put one in that cube of yours in the office. You will help do your part to protect the environment, and you can stress this level of conservation to your co-workers as well.

Of course, the paper doesn’t just stop at facial tissues…paper towels, toilet paper, napkins, and even copy paper are available through the site. Have a look around, and start getting your home or office on the track to going green.

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.

Let’s be honest here: throwing away that coffee filter is a bit of an annoyance. Some of us who are hardcore coffee drinkers also know it’s troubling when you go to make that perfect cup-a-joe in the morning, and realize you forgot to buy coffee filters at the store. It’s not the most pleasant way to wake up in the morning.

There are a variety of reusable coffee filters out there, but you can’t always find one that is green or eco-friendly…something good for the environment. Well, over at Nubius Organics, they sell reusable coffee filters made from hemp fabric. All you have to do is rinse with water or a natural dish soap, and you are set to use the same filter the next day.

At $5.95 per filter, it’s the perfect way to help save paper, do something good for the environment and still retain that wonderful, dark roast that you love to wake up to every morning. Don’t forget to add your old coffee grounds to your compost pile or bin when you empty out your reusable hemp coffee filter!

Cutting boards…they’re in every kitchen. You are always going to need one. There’s no escaping that fact. The guys and gals over at Preserve Everyday have come up with one that will fit your green needs…it’s a Cutting board made from 100% post-consumer recycled paper.

The board is knife friendly and dishwasher safe, and as mentioned, it’s made of 100% post-consumer recycled paper. You can’t really go wrong with a cutting board like this. When you are making that wonderful salad full of natural organically grown vegetables, what better cutting board to cut them on than this one?

Coming in two different colors, olive black and pesto green (because just calling them black and green would be too simple), the board also comes in two sizes: bar (8″x6″), and Prep (13″x8″). The Bar size goes for $12.99 and the Prep size goes for $24.99.
