Eco-Libris

Do you love to read and think about each tree that is cut down when you buy a new book? Here is a great way to even it out! Plant a tree for every book you read. Eco-Libris will plant a tree for each book you read.

For $1 you can plant a tree and then you get a sticker to put in your book.  What a great gift to give a book lover for under $10!

“The Eco-Libris sticker, which is made from recycled paper, is designed for you to put on the cover of the books you balance out, to show your commitment to sustainability and responsible use of natural resources.”

To EVEN IT OUT when you boy a book… plant a tree with Eco-Libris.

The Green Eaters

Going green is more than recycling. I love that children’s books are starting to be geared towards the green side. As their website states about the book,  “here is a fun and friendly way to introduce the importance of organic living to children!”

To EVEN IT OUT with kids… teach them about the benefits of buying local & organic with The Green Eaters.

Sport Bags

Jersey Bag

Yes… I love bags, I love sports and I love stationary. Maybe I can make a stationary bag for myself! I love that bags can be made from more than just the fabric you buy at the store. This is a great idea for a gift for a sport fan, a shopper or yourself!

To EVEN IT OUT with your old sport jersey … use it to make a bag like RePlayGround.

Sports Goes Green

I went to grad school for a degree in Sport Leadership and there is something that draws me to sports. I love that sports connects people across cultures, social-economics, gender, religion, politics and more. Here is something simple that shoes how even sports go green.

To EVEN IT OUT when are going to by new shoes… turn your old kicks into a new place to play.

Bug Off!

It’s almost Memorial Day and to many people it is a sign of being outside. Growing up in the South I was well aware of mosquitoes. You could typically find some smelly spray to keep the bugs away.

Contains NO DEET!

Liberally apply to exposed skin including face & hands. Perfect pocket size tin allows for convenient transport. Also a great gift for under $10.
