Richard asks…
Where can I find cool eco-friendly products?
My class is making an eco basket for a silent auction and I was looking for things to put in it.
I need some products that’ll interest a younger crowd.
It’s for a good cause so please help!

Hi there… Check out this site… (I’m not sure where you’re located – if you add the country province or state I could be of more help)
http://www.ecomall.com/
I live in Ontario, Canada and go to “The Big Carrot”, “Ten Thousand Villages” and “Grassroots” to shop for my son…
Check out their sites:
http://www.thebigcarrot.ca/
http://www.tenthousandvillages.ca/
http://www.grassrootsstore.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWCATS&Category=38&sm=sub11
They have toys (grassroots and ten thousand villages), organic gummi bears (@ the big carrot – which my son loves) Don’t forget Organic foods are also healthy for the environment since no pesticides are used… And Grassroots is fair trade…
* What you can also do is pick up some recycled paper pads (they have them at Zellers, Walmart etc…) and some Eco/Enviro friendly crayons, perhaps a book about the environment, maybe an earth friendly book mark… (Go to my 360 page link on my profile and check out my blog for good kids book titles about the environment – I listed isbn numbers for the books too so they’re easy to find in the bookstores)
* Also instead of a basket why don’t you use an enviro bag?That way it can be used (easter baskets don’t really get used and end up in the dump – many are trashed after easter – causing more unused things to pile up at the landfill (which of course is bad for the environment)…. :~(
* Perhaps you can get one of the small stainless steel water bottles (they have one’s with great designs for kids) and get various flavors of organic drinks, bars, cookies etc for the basket…
Or
* bathroom fun stuff from “Kiss My Face” – They have fun shaped soaps, shampoos etc that are paraben, sls free, animal testing free, and won’t harm the environment when it goes down the drain…

Is anyone looking for a good website to buy eco friendly products
I have been browsing through Total Eco Store http://www.totalecostore.com has anyone else checked it out for “green” products? They seem to have the largest selection and the best prices on the web.

Nope.
Robert asks…
Where can I find recycled, organic, and eco friendly products online?
I don’t want to buy them in bunches, just maybe one or two of each.
Thanks
