Clean Up and Help Green the Planet

Deb Savvy — Thu, 26 Mar 2009 00:46:28 +0000

It’s crazy how many old cell phones and chargers most people have sitting around the house. I have a huge drawer in my office filled with nothing but cell phones and phone accessories. There must be at least six – and a couple of chargers for each of them. And a car charger or two. And some old PDA’s, too, now that I’m thinking about it. I’d love to get rid of all that stuff – but I never really had a clue of what to do with all of it. It’s not like I’m going to toss a bunch of cell phones in the garbage can.

Did you know you can drop all your old cell phones, pagers, PDAs, chargers and other communications accessories at any Staples store? They’ll recycle them and better still, they’ll donate a portion of proceeds to the Sierra Club.

Clean your house – help green the planet! How great is that!

Cheaper, Easier, Greener and Better for You

Deb Savvy — Sun, 28 Dec 2008 04:31:17 +0000

Lower price. Fewer calories. Fewer chemicals. Fewer additives. No artificial colors. Lower sodium. No cans or bottles means less work – less shopping, less schleppping, less garbage. And a decreased carbon footprint. Sounds good, doesn’t it? It’s possible. You can enjoy less expensive, healthier soft drinks and live a more eco-friendly lifestyle AND it’s less work for you! Yes, it’s possible.

With a Soda-Club Home Soda Maker. Sleek and stylish, the home soda maker is a countertop appliance about the size of a coffeemaker that transforms water into fresh, fizzy seltzer/sparkling water at the push of a button. Soda makers operate without batteries, electricity or plumbing. Making seltzer and soda takes just seconds and requires no clean-up. A reusable, one-liter carbonating bottle (provided by Soda-Club) is filled with water and screwed into the machine fitting. A CO2 carbonator, housed inside the soda maker, adds carbonation at the touch of a button – as much or as little carbonation as you prefer. After carbonating the water, you can add one of over 25 different Soda-Club sodamix flavors to make your favorite, great-tasting soda. Or add a splash of your favorite fresh juice for a completely natural sparkling beverage.

Sugar free flavors are available. As are low-sodium selections and energy drink formulas. All Soda-Club flavor syrups are certified Kosher.

Love soda? Get a Soda-Club soda maker! About the size of a
coffeemaker and even easier to use, you’ll make fresh seltzer
and soda at the touch of a button, with no clean-up. No more
lugging, storing and recycling. Over 25 great-tasting flavors.

Only Because I Am In Love…

Deb Savvy — Fri, 26 Dec 2008 03:17:20 +0000

I was at a lovely holiday party recently and fell in love. No. Not with the host or hostess. And not with one of the other guests, either. I fee in love with this Easy Lounge.

OMG! Stunning isn’t it! And it looked fabulous in the room, too. And comfortable!

I loved it so much I had to track it down and post a picture – if only to pay homage to the great design and workmanship.

The Easy Lounge is hand-crafted with fine attention to detail. The smooth, sensous curves exhibit an Asian inspired minimalism that feels right at home in the contemporary world. Designed by Bannavis Andrew Sribyatta for PIE, represented at Vivavi, one of New York’s premier sources for original designer furniture and decor made from sustainable and ecofriendly resources.

You’re going to be sitting in front of the computer anyway. You know you are. You might as well make use of a bit of that time to save some serious cash.

Plan ahead, shop for your or your children’s textbooks now and you’ll have those books in plenty of time for the new semester.

Did you know that you can save as much as 90% by buying used textbooks? That’s serious money!

And one more thing – you can sell your used textbooks, too. You’ll either save on your next order and make a few extra dollars. Either way – it’s economical and eco-friendly.

Go for used textbooks – you’ll be living green and saving green and tickled pink, of course.

Apple Season

Deb Savvy — Wed, 15 Oct 2008 02:47:33 +0000

More than one kind of apple is in season right now. Along with the fall bushels of Gala, Golden Delicious, Grannie Smith and Mount Fuji delights, a new crop is ripe for the picking at the Apple Store .

The completely refreshed MacBook line was unveiled today at Apple’s “Spotlight Turns to Notebooks” event. The all new MacBook boasts tons of exciting new features including:

An ultra-thin LED-backlit display that provides crisp images and vivid colors which are ideal for viewing photos and movies, and the edge-to-edge cover glass creates a smooth, seamless surface NVIDIA GeForce 9400M, a revolutionary new 3D integrated graphics processor that features 16 parallel processing cores and delivers up to five times the 3D graphics performance as previous MacBook and MacBook Air™ designs.
Apple has invented a whole new way of building notebooks from a single block of aluminum. And, just as important, they are the industry’s greenest notebooks!
Plus, MacBook and MacBook Pro are now equipped with a new smooth glass Multi-Touch trackpad that gives users almost 40 percent more tracking area than before, making it even easier to use Multi-Touch gestures like pinch, rotate and swipe!

Mat Magic

Deb Savvy — Wed, 01 Oct 2008 03:30:55 +0000

The bathmats in my master bathroom have been getting me down lately. Even when they’re clean, they just don’t look fresh and inviting. They just look like a fuzzy towel there on my bathroom floor. I like the clean lines and the zen-spa like vibe of this Hinoki Bath Mat .

Hinoki Bath Mat (large)

$55 at VivaTerra – Eco Living with Style

I hadn’t thought of wood – but it’s an attractive and practical alternative. Especially the Japanese cypress, also known as Hinoki. Well known in Japan, Hinoki wood is prized for its natural therapeutic properties. Hinoki contains natural antibacterial agents and is resistant to humidity; both of which make it a great option for the bathroom. This wood is also rich in minerals and essential oils used in Japan for treatment of skin ailments and to reduce stress; both of which make it a great option for turning your bathroom into a home spa.

Because Bigger is Better

Deb Savvy — Tue, 16 Sep 2008 05:16:30 +0000

When it comes to towels, I’m a big believer that bigger is so much better. I like a HUGE towel. I want to be able to wear it as a dress after a bath or shower!

Like the Platinum Bath Sheet from Linensource. True luxury. And it’s hard to imagine anything bigger. These towels are 36″ x 70″ – that’s 3 feet by almost 6 feet! What could be bigger! Super soft and absorbent blend of cotton and bamboo. Bamboo fibers are quick drying and have natural anti-microbial properties. That helps to keep these enormous bath sheets dry and fresh and ready to use.

Originally $48, now $39.99 at Linensource. Coordinating wash cloths, hand and bath towels, rugs and accessories are available.

Green Your Marketing – In Style

Deb Savvy — Sat, 06 Sep 2008 02:52:32 +0000

One of the easiest ways to go green is to make a small investment in an organic cotton shopping bag. It folds up and takes up little room in your handbag and over the course of a year you alone can be responsible for HUNDREDS and maybe even THOUSANDS fewer plastic bags on the planet.

The only downside – some of those shopping bags are really ugly. Problem solve. Opt for the Dot Tote from Fossil.com . At $20 it’s a small investment in a greener future for all of us. And it’s totally cute, too!

Wouldn’t it be great if you could eliminate all the unwanted junk mail that you receive every day? You can block spam e-mails easily, but it can be really hard to get all those catalogs and free credit card offers to stop filling your mail box. Yesterday I actually received THREE offers for the same credit card.

To Really Enjoy Your Outdoor Space

Deb Savvy — Thu, 05 Jun 2008 22:17:09 +0000

It’s always a battle – the gardener versus the creatures enjoying the garden.

Bench Talk

Deb Savvy — Fri, 16 May 2008 05:07:55 +0000

I’ve been shopping for a small attractive bench, something to keep near the front door. And I found something WONDERFUL!

East meets West. Jakarta, dubbed the “Jewel of Asia” by European spice traders, has long been a rich mix of Eastern and Western cultures and styles. Dutch and British influences are evident in the architecture and décor of this ancient Indonesian trading port. That distinctive style is captured handsomely in this Jakarta Hotel Bench – Brown . Finely crafted of renewable, locally grown bamboo and rattan, which helps the local economies and also discourages deforestation of precious rain forests. The hand-caned seat is crafted by skilled artisans following generations old tradition. Sturdy and practical, with a rich java colored finish, this piece is a perfect accent at the foot of the bed, or anywhere that needs a little spice. $388 at Soft Surroundings .

Nothing could be more eco-friendly than reusing a product that is considered waste – otherwise this would all end up in the landfill.
