Eco Friendly Birth Announcements

f_01311084796_ecofriendlyenviornment.jpgEco friendly stationery products, also known as plantable stationery, are becoming increasingly popular. And as of recently, eco friendly birth announcements have been added to the product assortment. These ‘green’ announcements do more than just announcement the birth of your child – they are actually a small gift themselves because, once planted, the recipient will be able to enjoy beautiful flowers thanks to you.  They can be planted in a garden or in a container so they are even perfect for those living in apartments without access to a garden.
And planting couldn’t be easier and takes only a minute. Either plant the card whole or tear it up into smaller pieces and put it under a bit of soil. Water daily and within a couple of weeks you’ll see the first seedlings begin to sprout.
Eco friendly birth announcements should be made out of 100% recycled paper waste and embedded with seeds (Be sure to ask what kind of seeds are embedded in the paper).They often come in a variety of styles and colors – even plantable photo announcements are an option. Some you purchase ‘as is’ (meaning that it is like selecting a package of birth announcements  at a store) while others let you custom create your own.

Long before your baby arrives, you can begin researching the different baby stationery available so you can know exactly what you want to order when that special day arrives. Some of these sites will even provide same day shipping of your order so you won’t even need to wait for the baby boy birth announcements or baby girl birth announcements to arrive for very long. Eco Friendly Kids Crafts Idea

I was thinking of a good craft for kids that will also start to teach them a little bit about being eco friendly. This idea popped into mind. Allowing children to decorate a cotton drawstring bag. These bags can be purchased blank, and the children can design their little hearts out. Eco Friendly Cleaning Products

Eco friendly cleaning products should not pollute the environment in any way and also help keep your home clean as a whistle. Our homes are overloaded with toxic chemicals, more then we would like to believe, why add more to chemicals to our home when there are perfectly good eco friendly cleaning products that have proven to be as effective as any commercial, chemical based products? For one I think it’s just easier to buy cleaning products off the shelves, more convenient, and two we don’t have time to make our own natural cleaning products. Online Birth Announcements

Many families today have been using birth announcements to spread the word to the whole world about the new baby in their homes. The problem that most couples encounter is that when the baby is born the last thing they would want to think about are the errands and chores that they would have to do to tell the world of the new baby.
Custom plantable birth announcements: When researching this option look for choices that allow you allow you to choose from several styles. If you don’t like the suggested wording ask if you can provide your own. When going with a custom card – make sure that you receive a proof of the card, for your approval, before it goes off to print.

Eco Kitchen – eco friendly appliances

f_21310563694_utahtothepacific153.jpgThe kitchen is a very busy part of the home, especially at this time of year with all the dinners that need to be prepared, not to mention the clothes washing and other chores that can only be done in the kitchen.
There is a multitude of appliances and tools in the average kitchen that can make daily household tasks a lot easier, but not all of them work efficiently, which means that the kitchen can be one of the most energy wasteful areas of the home.
The kettle, is a good example. Many of us may turn out kettles on four or five times an evening, often boiling far more water than is necessary. All the extra power required to boil this unnecessary water is being wasted. And while this does not amount to very much, the accumulative effect of millions of kettles being over-filled produces tonnes of extra CO2 into the atmosphere each year.
An eco kettle gets over these problems by only boiling the required water.

Nature-Friendly Shopping

f_11310563694_ecofriendlyproducts.jpgUsually, when we go out to shop, we end up going home

at the end of the day with lots of plastic bags from different stores. Plastic bags that would most likely end up on garbage cans thus adding wastes to the community.

     So I’m sharing here my personal tips on having an eco-friendly shopping.

Plan your shopping to save fuel if you have your own car, to save money if you’re commuting and save time.

Buy and use only rechargeable batteries for your gadgets and other household items.

Buy only appliances that contribute less to global warming.

Bring your own container when you order takeout food instead of using styro foams usually offered by fastfoods and restaurants.
