To Go Ware Reduce Your Fork-Print Review

 

To-Go Ware RePEaT Bamboo Utensil Set with Recycled PET Carrycase. #ad

 

 

Reuseit does it Again!  I just love this company, no matter what I am looking for they usually have it.  This school year we took the pledge to only use reusable lunch packing materials, in other words we no longer used plastic baggies or anything needing to be "thrown away". 

 

In celebration of Earth Day, Reuseit.com sent me one of their To-Go Ware bamboo sets.  For one I love the color of the recycled green carrying case, just beautiful!  The case and utensils are light and do not take up much room at all.  I can throw my case in my purse, hiking backpack, or lunch bags, really the options are limitless.  I was especially excited to try it out for our Friday Soup and Stations at church.  During Lent we attend a social gathering to eat soup and then walk through the Stations of the Cross remembering the day of Jesus' death and resurrection.  With our group we all reduce the amount of waste and work by bringing our own bowls, utensil's, and cups, while the soup, bread, and beverage is provided.  I loved using my To-GO Ware and loved how easy it was to clean.  I just hand washed my case and utensil and laid them out to dry.  The website said that I could use them in the dishwasher, but I want them to last for a long time, and washing only take a minute. 

 

I plan on taking my hand ECO Friendly Bamboo utensils with me everywhere from hiking, camping, volunteering, and eating out! 

No more plastics, No more waste.

Going Green Living Friday Greenscaping and Green Business

Going Green Tip this week is Greenscaping!

What is Greenscaping? Greenscaping is simple changes you can do to save time, money, and protect the environment.  It is gardening with a conscious effort to minimize water, keep things natural, and the use of no chemicals.  It is making a natural oasis that can sustain itself, mostly.   How does it save money?  When you cut out chemicals you are saving money and when you reduce your water you save on your water bill!  You can Save time by using plants that are native and require less care.  Greenscaping protects the environment by conserving water, reducing land waste, and eliminating nasty chemicals. 
Here in Arizona we have a drier climate and we get very little seasons of rain, making water concern.  We have a automatic watering system to give the plants just enough without over watering.  Here we use the natural landscape and reserve our water.  I do use water to grow my garden, but I make sure to water during the morning and evening temperatures.  This allows the plants and roots to take on the most water before the heat evaporates it. 

Steps to a Greener Healthier Yard

• Build and maintain a healthy soil- add your dried leaves, cutting, and compost back into the soil, enrich it naturally and create less waste.
• Practice smart watering- whatever during the correct time of days, do not over water, and do not allow your water to pool and run off.  Over water is a complete waste of resources and money. 
• Adopt a holistic approach to pest control- you can use pest deterrent plants and natural nontoxic solutions.
• Use natural lawn care- everything you put in your yard will affect the soil and the water.  Try to not be drawn into all those commercials on chemical lawn care. 
• Plant right for your State (site)- use native plants and reduce the demand, resources, and time that other plants demand when not native. 

Some areas may be too cold to start your garden maintenance but it's never too early to plan and make some changes to a greener yard. 

Be sure to check out some great ideas for enjoying Nature this weekend.  Here is a list of Tucson Events, some are FREE while others have a fee.  Not I Tucson, no problem!  You can check in your area for Bird watching events, Butterfly gardens, Botanical Gardens, Gardening Events, and Nature Walking, Hiking, and exploring.  Get to know your area and the Natural plant life and wildlife.  Help support those conserving and protecting it. 

Green Business Shout Out

If you have not heard of LVR than I have a treat for you!  They make fashionable, comfortable, Eco yoga clothing with limited impact on the environment! I love this company because they are very concerned with protecting the environment and the wildlife.
This Eco Friendly company also likes to give back through conservation.  In 2011 LVR partnered with ARCAS, which is an animal recue center in Guatemala.  Every month the company donates a portion of their revenue to the rescue center for rehabilitation and release of the wild animals.  Personally, I feel really good about wearing clothing that means so much more than comfort and style.  When I wear their clothing I know they are helping the environment, better for my skin, and helping to reach out and help with causes I support.

Going Green Tip of the Week and GMO Food Awareness with Giveaway.

 

Going Green Tip of the Week is "ecycling".

A wonderful new trend in recycling is "ecycling".  This is where you reuse and recycle old electronics.  Today, our world relies on so many plugged in items.  I think about the items I use throughout the day. My iPhone, iPad, computer, coffee pot, oven, stereo, TV, and I am sure I am missing a few more.  When things start to not work well or just up and die on us, we can do more than just through it in the trash.  The EPA said "More than 2 million tons of used electronics are disposed of each year".

What can be ecycled?
TVs, computers, monitors, cell phones, keyboards, printers, hard drives, software, stereos, DVD players, scanners, digital equipment, VCR, cords, wires, plugs, and so much more.

What companies take your ecycled?
Best Buy, Apple, Office Depot, Philips, Sony, JVC, Panasonic, Sharp, Epsom, AT&T, Intel, Dell, Lexmark, Samsung, Staple, and HP.

Where can you drop off your ecycle donations?  We have dropped off at Best Buy and Goodwill, who will come and pick up your items.

Looking for ecycling sites in your area?
Earth 911  .
The electronic Industries Alliance
TechSoup

Goodwill

Why do this one extra step?  Recycling or reusing old electronics recovers valuable materials that can be made to make new ones.  This cuts down on needing raw materials which saves resources.   Ecycling also protects the environment by keeping lead and mercury from harming people and the land.

Don't forget about your military. Before you ecycle your phone, there are drops off locations to donate your old cell phones to our soldiers on the front lines, to call home to family.

Next time you go to throw away something electronic please try to ecycle!
