My Favorite Things- Earth Day Edition

Alright people I know I'm a little late for the Earth Day blog edition, but I was thinking of some of my favorite things earlier, and it just so happened that two of them are super environmentally friendly and I'd though I'd share, so you too can do you're part for the environment.

The first product is the Kleen Kanteen. The kanteen is one of my favorite products because not only is it good for you (less plastics consumption) we've all heard about the BPA's in plastic bottles, its also good for the environment. And, its lightweight. Also, its great because if you just carry it around, take it to work or the gym, it easy to get your daily recommended water intake for the day. If you purchase the 27 ounce size, that's 2.3 per day! As far as I know, the Kleen Kanteen is only available online, but well worth the shipping and handling.




Next on the list is My Chico Bag. The Chico bag is super fantastic because I am a person who tries to use less plastic bags at the grocery, drugstore etc, and it seems that I have a reusable bag from almost ever establishment in town, but once I use them, I take them in the house to unload my goods, and the bag rarely make it back to my car. Now with the Chico bag, it stays in my purse, because not only is in a bag, its also its own holder. So, you're at the store, you get it out, unfold it, take it home, unpack, refold and place back in your purse. Genius. Mine is Pink fyi! :) Also, unlike the Kleen Kanteen, you can purchase the Chico bag in stores, like Whole Foods and Earth Fare.



Third, and not one of my favorite products, but a great way to help reduce your carbon footprint, the compact florescent light bulb. These bulbs use up to 75% less energy and can last up to 10 times longer than standard incandescent bulbs. Although the bulbs are initially more expensive, they will save money on you're electric bill. Also, if you buy the multi pack at Sam's Club or BJ's, the initial price isn't that much higher than regular light bulbs.
