Stores that sell environmental products/gifts/small items that can be used as prizes?
I’m looking for stores (online or physical stores) that sell eco–friendly products such as recycled pens, notebooks, water bottles, etc. that can be given away as prizes to promote environmental awareness. Things that are relatively cheap, but still useful. Fast shipping is a plus.
Thanks in advance!

Green holiday gift ideas?
My company typically gives “holiday” gifts for our top clients at year’s end. This year, we would like to give a green/eco–friendly gift. The only catch is that our budget is around $50/gift and we need to be able to put our logo on it. Any good sites out there that cater to this need?
Thanks!
The Expert answers:
Potted plants with a sticker of the company logo on the pot. You can make the stickers yourself and save some money!!

Eco Friendly Birthday Party for 7 year old girl?
I am in the preliminary planning stages for my 7 year old daughter’s birthday party. She is very environmentally conscious, very aware of the less fortunate in our population, and I would like to build on that. Does anyone know of any great ways to share her enthusiasm for these important issues and incorporate them into a birthday theme? I am looking for something that the kids can bring instead of gifts, like the Christmas shoeboxes that some churches send overseas… Something that would not be expensive for families to take part in, but would be at a level that a group of seven year olds would understand and appreciate the value of their contribution.
Any and all suggestions are most welcome, thank you everyone for your time!
The Expert answers:
Make a craft project from recyclables. Teach the kids how to make paper from recycled items.
If you have a small pool, you could put some water in it and other things you would find naturally in a pond or stream then also put in things that would be hazardous to the inviroment and have the kids dip them out using a net.
Put a bunch of stuff on a tray, let the kids look at the tray for a schort period of time and then ask them to write down the things that they saw that could be recycled.
You could also set up boxes, devide the children into groups
scatter stuff in the yard and see which group gets the most in the propper containers. One for glass, plastic, you get the point.
You could let them plant a flower to take home,
As far as something to bring you could have each child bring one non parishable food item to be donated to the local food pantry.
You could also have them bring in good conditiond clothing items that are two small for them to be donated. It keeps them out of the land fill and helps those less fortunate.
You could also have them all bring in a empty cereal box and teach them how to recycle it into a book box or something to hold those stupid plastic bags you get from the store until they can be reused. Many people throw them away because they get all over.
Things you could use for a goodie bag would be seeds, home made playdough, nuts, fruit, a pin to remind them to be enviromentally responsible, a list of local recycleing centers in the area, and treats made from scratch you could also allow the kids to help prepare them. This could also be used as a teaching method, devide them into two groups,
and have one group bake items from scratch such as cookies and and cake or candies, Then have the second group prepare the same thing using boxed products and see which group makes less trash.
Another way to show them how much trash families make is by useing boxed food, is to contact the parents, a few days before the party and have them save all the boxes and send them with their child place them all in a pile hopefully it wont be that big of a pile, but you would be surprised. It is a real eye opener. You could also let the parents join you and educate both child and parents.

world with no work,money and everyone has a good standard of living aided by superior eco friendly technology-?
where we can live and experience all the gifts of life…spend our time doing what we love….creativity and learning….
or
a world like ours today…with work(paradigm),money … and status,class differences where not everyone is cared for and technology that destroys the planet just to benefit a few …a world where profit means everything?
i believe it is coming….and that we ARE capable….our evolution will take us there…call me crazy if u want….but when there are enough people…a critical mass will be reached…maybe after alot of destruction and suffering….but a time will come when we will have to make that choice….
orelse…we will wipe ourselves out if we cant…..
sounds like fiction??hahha…..
have faith in us people…i know we can do it…
there are no restrictions…..everyone can excell to their fullest ….infact in a world like todays…someone is stuck as an accountant when he could have been the best composer……
and work is not banned…ppl can work if they want….its just not for money….cause he will not need it…he can have everything he wants..go where he wants…how does this affect anybody elses ability to do the same??
competition is not how one can reach his full potential….the competition is within…..to be better than one was yesterday….
hey….thanks guys for replying.
ok.dont forget..we are reaching a time where machines and robots are going to be capable of doing most jobs that requires humans today.things like travel and grocery shopping are going to be completely automated very soon..we are already moving in that direction.factory workers will be obsolete soon..various jobs will be lost or will be replaced in more effecient ways.physical labor will not be required.our minds and ideas and creativity will be prized…and then as Artificial Intelligence becomes superior to ours…wow…then who knows….we will be obsolete…the generation of cyborgs..and this is almost definate…..there is no stopping this….
hahah…no i have not been watching too many sci fi movies….. this has been predicted by many scientists etc….technology is racing forward.beyond our wildest dreams.our wasteful ways will come to an end….we may be dead in the next 50-100 years or so.but we will witness the beginnings..
we already are….the last 100 years….no one could have imagined the progress……
i know a day will come when money will be obsolete….everything will be a network….something that resembles the universal nature of our world and hidden reality…which some of us witness and experience even today and since the beginning of time(human time)…everything is connected…all is one…the essence of any spiritual experience….
but as i was saying…you and i are hardly going to get a glimpse of that future….we will be gone in the next 50-100 years……maybe a time will come when we can prolong our lives to more than 200 years with advances in medicine and disease/aging control…already ppl want to cryogenically freeze themselves so that they can see this world in the future 100-200 years from now…
tell my ancestors that i will be communicating with someone 1000s of miles away ,while i sit at my desk…and they would laugh…and if they saw it happen…they would think i was an evil magician or something….haha
anyway….who knows huh…..anythings possible…
