Faith on Juniper - pocket art by db clay

First to recommend

3 people recommended this item

Description

The beautiful design on this animal-free wallet was taken from a stained & polished wood box - for the woodsy person on your list. The material is TOPE, similar in texture to a vinyl canvas, but fabricated from non-toxic raw materials through a pollutant free process. Durable; heat, cold and water-resistant; with a waterproof satin lining. I had a friend who lost his wallet on Austin's Town Lake, and found it 10 years later when the water-line was down. That would NOT have been a wallet by db clay, since theirs are bio-degradable when buried! Love this eco-friendly pocket art!

Bamboo Sheet Set

4 people recommended this item

Description

Non-organic cotton farming uses more pesticides than any other crop. Bamboo is a sustainable alternative. Plus, this color - oddly - goes really well with the dark blue walls in my guest room.

ACME Bags Workhorse Style 1500

First to recommend

3 people recommended this item

Description

Designed to fit over supermarket checkout frames. Made of rip-stop nylon that won't tear.
The Sierra Club sez:
* In New York City alone, one less grocery bag per person per year would reduce waste by 109 tons and save $11,000 in disposal costs.
* Plastic bags carry 80% of the nation's groceries, up from 5% in 1982.
* When 1 ton of paper bags is reused or recycled, 3 cubic meters of landfill space is saved and 13 - 17 trees are spared! In 1997, 955,000 tons of paper bags were used in the United States.
* When 1 ton of plastic bags is reused or recycled, the energy equivalent of 11 barrels of oil are saved.
IdealBite sez:
*In the United States, 12 million barrels of oil and 14 million trees go to producing plastic and paper bags each year.

Sierra Club

First to recommend

Description

Give a Sierra Club membership today and get 2 free compact fluorescent bulbs.
If every American household substituted just one Eco-energy light bulb for a 60-watt bulb, the energy saved would power a city of 1.5 million people. In addition, an Eco-energy bulb lasts ten times longer than a standard 100 watt bulb, saving you approximately $44 over the lifetime of each bulb.
