EconoGreen Plastic Bags & Drop Cloths

One of our readers introduced us to EconoGreen, a brand of eco-friendly and economical plastic bags and drop cloths. According to the manufacturer’s website, the bags are made from 100% recycled plastics and are 100% recyclable and oxodegradable. What does this mean? It means that the bags and drop cloths will degrade over time to they will be completely broken down within 2 years after use. Pretty cool, especially considering the bags cost about the same as what you’re probably spending now. A 30 count of their 13 gallon tall kitchen bags was only $3.99 on Amazon. We haven’t tried out the bags yet but we soon will. If you have already tried them, let us know what you think!

Being the Smartest Kid in School

School is back again and your kids are now spending tons of time and money investing in course materials for their classes. Not only are textbooks expensive but think about all the trees that had to be cut down in order to produce one 400 page biology textbook.

Technology has allowed for new environmentally-friendly solutions to our paper consumption problems. Check out CourseSmart, the largest single source of electronic textbooks anywhere. With over 6,000 college “e-textbooks”, Coursesmart offers a viable alternative to the college bookstore. Since these books are digitally accessed, the price are much lower than printed books. Plus being on a college campus, students have nearly full time Internet access, meaning they have access to their textbooks anywhere and anytime.

Lower prices, easy access, and saving trees are all great reasons for your kids to switch to e-textbooks. They’ll definitely be one of the smartest and eco-friendliest kids in school.

The Mission of Patagonia’s Common Threads Recycling Program

Often big box companies are very wasteful when it comes to the manufacturing of their products. As consumers become more informed, they are starting to demand more eco-friendly products and production methods.

This week we spotlight Patagonia and one of their efforts that keeps the environment in focus while developing high performance clothing and gear. Established in 2005, the Common Threads Recycling Program was started by Patagonia to take unusable, used garments to create new ones. What better way to not deplete the earth than make the goods we consume more sustainable.

Some examples of recyclable garments include Patagonia fleece, Polartec fleece clothing from any manufacturer, Patagonia Cotton T-shirts, and other garments with the Common Threads tag.

It’s extremely easy to give back. Recycling can be done through the mail, at a local Patagonia Retail Store, or at a Patagonia Performance Baselayer dealer.

Check out this quirky video by Patagonia which promotes their mission to recycle in a truly unique way:
