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.
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.
Ever wonder what to do with your old skies? Don’t want the same old book shelves? Check out this wooden ski shelf! Get ready for a sports theme! (Just combining a few of my loves!)
To EVEN IT OUT when you decorate … use items you already have.

Wondering what to do with your floors and how to “go green” with style? Design it with Flor. Go green with style, do it cheap and recycle your old carpet. They even pay you to send your old carpet to them!
For just $5 they can send you 6 samples. Or you can use them for drink coasters. Or you can use them for eco art supplies… or…
To EVEN IT OUT when you re-do your floors… use eco friendly Flor.
Yes, I have lots of loves. Another love is Colored Smencils. I feel like a kid again when I use colored pencils and these really make me giggle. They are made from 100% recycled newspapers and come packaged in their own (recyclable) Freshness Tube. You may ask why it needs a Freshness Tube. Well, let me tell you why I love these eco art supplies… They are soaked in environmentally-friendly fragrance liquids and they smell YUMMY!
A great gift for under $10 for kids or an adult who is a kid at heart.
To EVEN IT OUT when you are creating in color… use Colored Smencils from Stubby Pencil Studio.
I know it is probably more environmentally conscious to send an email, write a text or call. Believe me, I probably communicate more via technology than the average American. We know from previous blogs, I am “a high tech girl on a low tech budget.”
Another one of my loves is paper. Yes, I LOVE PAPER. I love to flip through magazines. I love the feeling of a book. I love writing and receiving letters. I love maps. Recently GPS and Google Maps changed my life, so I stopped buying maps. Yeah for the environment and a woohoo for not getting lost!
I would however feel lost if I stopped writing letters. I think letter writing is a lost art and I don’t want to stop writing letters. One of my favorite stationaries is made from recycled maps. Check out Omni Resources in North Carolina for recycled map stationary. For just $4.95 you can order 25 envelopes!!!
To EVEN IT OUT when you write letters… buy recycled map stationary.
I like to think that I am a high-tech-girl on a low-tech-budget. With that being said, I like to upgrade my cell phone about once a year. I get excited when I buy a new technology!!! Clearly this isn’t the best thing for the environment.
To EVEN IT OUT when you buy a new cell phone… Donate your old cell phone to Collective Good Mobile Phone Recycling.
