Earth Day Giveaway

Happy Earth Day folks! I hope each of you is taking a moment today to reflect on what you can do to ensure that our planet remains healthy for future generations. We can all make a few small changes in our daily lives that will help to sustain our planet's resources. Some of the small changes I've made over the past year include switching to recycled paper products, using "green" household cleaning products (my favorite brand is Seventh Generation), using reusable shopping bags when I go shopping, and I also use a stainless steel water bottle (my pink kleen kanteen bottle is always at my side). Now that I've shared how I'm becoming more eco-conscious, tell me what you are doing or are planning to do to become more eco-conscious and you might win this Intro to Green gift set. The gift set contains a reusable travel mug, a fluorescent light bulb, the "Green Book", an Envirosax reusable tote, a bamboo cutting board, natural liquid hand soap, and a bamboo box.

Eco Friendly Ergonomic Chair

When I saw this post on the Daily Dose today about the eco-friendly Amia chair, my immediate reaction was how can an office chair be eco-friendly? I checked out Steelcase's website and was pleased to learn that the Amia chair is 97% recyclable. According to the Daily Dose, the chair has earned the gold cradle to cradle certification by MBDC, which rates how environmentally safe a design is. I love this chair because it is not only environmentally friendly but it is also ergonomic. The chair has technology that allows it to flex with your back movement, it also has pneumatic seat height and adjustable arms. The Amia comes in either a black or platinum frame and has twelve upholstery finishes. This really is a great gift for someone with back problems, or someone who has an eco-friendly office. The chair can be purchased for $599.
