Fuji EnviroMAX batteries + a giveaway

Fuji EnviroMAX batteries are one of the first eco-respectful, high performance batteries on the market. They are mercury, lithium, cadmium and PVC-free making them landfill safe and ozone-depleting compounds have been eliminated in the production of Fuji EnviroMAX batteries.

Rethinking your next battery purchase
Fuji’s environmentally respectful manufacturing process should help you rethink your next battery purchase.
Fuji EnviroMAX is competitively priced and matches—or even exceeds—the performance and lifespan of other major brands. As a matter of fact, my husband and son recently went on a camping trip during which they had to use their flashlights for an extended period of time and my husband was very pleased that unlike past camping trips when he had to replace the batteries in their flashlights, he didn’t have to replace them at all. I was actually surprised to hear they had to replace the batteries in their flashlights on previous camping trips.. they must required a lot of battery energy?

Fuji EnviroMAX batteries

About the manufacturing process:
Most of all resources used in the manufacturing process are reused and recycled. The result is batteries that meet a world standard for environmental responsibility and recyclable materials.

Fuji EnviroMAX batteries are available in AAA, AA, C, and D and Super Alkaline as well as batteries specifically for digital devices.

Go ahead and stock up (Amazon.com link) on batteries now.. you’re going to need them for those holiday gifts!

Visit www.greenfuji.com for more information about Fuji EnviroMax.

Escape to An Eco Friendly Picnic

picnic
Escape the frenzy of the city for a relaxing picnic on a grassy knoll, sandy beach or urban parkscape. Gather your friends, some fine food and toss a blanket on the lawn or picnic table. No need to throw away plastic utensils and plates, there are lots of earth friendly and fair trade options for dining alfresco in style. With many options for fair trade picnic totes choose one that suits your family’s style. We love the large Simple Peace “Tigmi” basket totes. They’re hand-woven by a fair trade artisan cooperative in Morocco. Store your food in recycled plastic food storage containers that can be recycled again after several uses as #5 plastic. Reusable picnic plates are best for preventing landfill. Serve your famous secret family recipe potato salad on colorful Zak recycled confetti melamine plates along with natural bamboo utensils. Bamboo utensils are reusable, durable and made from a renewable resource.

Greener Clean line from Scotch-Brite

If you are reading this blog you are probably a mom or a dad, maybe a grandparent.  And if you are one of those, then you probably spend a good amount of time cleaning.  Whether it's wiping juice off of the counter top, squished food off the floor, toothpaste off of the bathroom counter, or dried up ketchup off of a plate, you're cleaning something.  For years I used paper towels to clean up small messes, that is until I realized that was not a very smart or 'Green' thing to do.  With as many messes as I have to clean up, I would throw away dozens of paper towels every day.  That's not very earth or wallet friendly.   Scotch-Brite's new greener clean line of cleaning products is perfect for people like me who have mess after mess to clean up and are trying to stop using paper towels.

Scotchbrite-greener-clean

The Greener Clean collection of reusable
cleaning products
combines the cleaning power consumers have come to expect
from the Scotch-Brite brand with eco-conscious natural and recycled materials.
That means there’s no need to spend extra money on disposable cleaning
products like paper towels and cleaning wipes, saving consumers a bundle.

My favorite 'greener clean' products are the 'soap loaded scrubbers' and the 'Biodegradable* Absorbent Sponge'.  I use these two products everyday.  The sponge is great for every day counter top cleaning and the soap loaded scrubbers are gentle enough to use on my stainless steel pots and pans without scratching them. 

Almost all of Scotch-Brite's Greener Clean products are Biodegradable and the packaging is made from 100% recycled material.  It is said on the Scotch-Brite website that their Biodegradeable Absorbent Sponge will outlast 30 rolls of paper towels while the Absorbent Cloth will outlast 16 rolls. You can learn what some of the terms used here such as Biodegradable mean on the Scotch-Brite website here.

Clean + Green by SeaYu

Clean-green-carpet If you have pets, like a huge number of American families, then you are likely to spend money and time on cleaning carpet and upholstery.  What you might not know is that a lot of carpet cleaning solutions/products contain toxic ingredients.  What a great way to clean right?

Clean + Green is the only eco-friendly
aerosol pet cleaning product on the planet and is safe for pets, and kids. Unlike most other cleaning products
that can be harmful, require multiple applications and/or only temporarily mask
odors, Clean+Green delivers instant results in a non-toxic, eco-friendly
solution. Clean+Green permanently cleans pet stains and eradicates odors.

Clean+Green is made with
ingredients and materials that are all-natural, 100% biodegradable, and
recyclable. That means that not only are you being eco-conscious in choosing
Clean+Green, but you are also protecting your family and pets from harmful
chemicals that can be found in other popular cleaning products.

I actually wrote this review in early March and failed to publish it (sorry) and since then I've learned first hand the great cleaning power of Clean + Green!  Thank you SeaYu!  Clean+Green is available at PETCO®,
PetSmart®, Pet Supplies Plus® and other retailers that sell pet specialty
products in the US and Canada, as well as through the Clean+Green site –
www.sea-yu.com.
