Powestrip by EcoStrip + 50% off

More info and coupon code here: http://www.ecobold.com/powerstrip-by-ecostrip/

EcoStrip is a powerstrip that can bring your electricity usage down to $150 every year. This is specifically done for your desk and computer area. You'll have to plug your computer or laptop into the strip and when you turn your computer on or off, everything else that's plugged in the strip will be automatically turned on/off. An incredible device that you can install and just forget about it, very simple to use and will save you hundreds of dollars over its lifetime! Imagine if every company in the United States alone would get an EcoStrip 2.0 for each desk, we'd be saving millions in energy and our environment would be much cleaner as well. On top of everything EcoStrip gave you a 50% off coupon code which will bring the price to $26.95!

Highlights:
- 6 outlet
- Save money
- Save electricity
- Recycled packaging
- Plants trees for every purchase

Here's a little more information about the company from their site:
The USB EcoStrip 2.0 helps you to conserve electricity by turning power-drawing devices off when you aren’t at your computer. EcoStrip 2.0 is an energy saving smart power strip with surge protection. EcoStrip 2.0 acts as a normal power strip/surge protector for your computer and peripheral devices — with one important difference: when the computer is turned off, power is shut down to peripherals eliminating the vampire drain of electricity. According to the International Energy Agency, the U.S. spends almost $11 billion annually on electricity lost to “Vampire Power”. A computer left on continuously uses 70 to 250 watts – nearly as much power as an energy efficient refrigerator.

EcoStrip 2.0 was presented with the "Gold Standard Award" for eliminating "Vampire Electronics" and is widely recognized today as the best new energy saving product.

Another impressive thing about them is that they plant trees for every sale, and one day EcoBold will also do it! Here is what they say about it:

EcoStrip has formed a Plant-a-Tree Partnership with Trees for the Future and has pledged to plant trees for every ecostrip we sell. EcoStrip is taking an active role in generating conversation and motivating individuals to take action when it comes to improving the environmental status of our planet. EcoStrip is ambitiously generating change by educating and motivating people, businesses, government, and educational institutions to be more responsible when it comes to energy conservation and responsibility.

Many businesses are taking the lead through environmental awareness and actions. We can help your organization save money, save energy, and reduce your carbon footprint with the implementation of ecostrips.More info and coupon code here: http://www.ecobold.com/powerstrip-by-ecostrip/... more

Green Halloween!

More info and links here: http://www.ecobold.com/green-halloween/

This year we'll be having a green Halloween with a bunch of eco-friendly, cool companies and things to make this day very fun and different!

1. Recycled Capri Sun bag by Terracycle. Terracycle is an amazing company that takes trash and makes things out of it. They have 186 different products, all made from trash. And they also have a program where you can send trash to them and they will donate a couple of cents per piece to a charity. So far they have donated over $1.3 million dollars and have taken almost 2 billion pieces of trash from landfills. Talk about a company that's making a difference in a trashy way!

2. Thredup.com is a website where you can exchange kids clothes and costumes with other moms! It's an amazing idea that's very affordable. It doesn't cost you anything to list your product and it just costs you $5 plus shipping for picking up any box you'd like. You can select boxes from all ages, sizes, colors and type of clothing. Brilliant and very green idea.

3. Equal Exchange organic and fair trade chocolate. Equal Exchange is a very good company that only sells organic and fair trade products. They really care for the farmers that they buy from and they most certainly care about our environment.

4. Stretch Island Fruit Co. is a company that makes fruit rolls that are 100% natural. Each roll equals 1/2 serving of a fruit and they have 7 different flavors, absolutely no artificial flavors, no artificial additives and no added sugar. I don't think any fruit roll could be better than this for trick or treating. And even if your kid doesn't like fruits, this is probably one of the few that they will happily eat!

5. Organic Shaken and Stirred book by Paul Abercrombie: while the kids are having fun trick or treating, the adults can indulge a super fun night with organic drinks. This book has several different recipes that were tested over and over again and many of them given by great bar tenders from reputable restaurants.

Here's a quick info about Organic Shaken and Stirred:

This collection features 100 eco-friendly, organic cocktails from the trendiest bars and nightclubs across the country, along with a few new creations by the author. Enjoy the Voluptuous (culled from the Grand Pu Bah restaurant in San Francisco), organic strawberry muddled with organic gin, agave nectar, organic egg white, and a splash of absinthe. The Lunacy (from the Royalton in New York City) gets two green thumbs up for its mixture of organic blackberries, lemon juice, organic simple syrup, organic reposado tequila, Lillet Blanc, and açai spirit. And then there’s the sublime yet simple Au Provence (from Eastern Standard in Boston), made with tarragon-infused organic simple syrup, organic vodka, and lime juice.

Reusable Water Bottle by SIGG

More info here: http://www.ecobold.com/reusable-water-bottle-sigg/
This reusable water bottle by Swiss company SIGG is not only an eco-friendly bottle, but also a safe water bottle that's BPA-free. If you don't already own a reusable water bottle, please think twice. In the US alone we use over 30 Billion plastic bottles, that's 3.5 Million bottles every hour. On top of that, 80% of the water bottles don't get recycled. In fact, they end up in landfills, oceans, rivers, and even on birds stomachs, that's right: birds eat the water bottle caps and they even feed it to their babies thinking it's food. Its heartbreaking to see that we could avoid that. Another main reason to use reusable aluminum bottles such as SIGG's is that most plastic water bottles are made with BPA, which is a synthetic material that can cause several problems, in between cancer, obesity and neurological problems, according to several researches that have been done.

SIGG bottles have been out and about for over a century and they're a very honest and upfront company. I know that a few years ago they were having some problems with BPA in the lining, and when we asked them about it, they didn't hide behind the bush, they responded right away and said that the lining had been replaced since 2008 and is now 100% BPA free.

According to their site, what differs SIGG from most other reusable bottles is that their bottles are manufactured from a single piece of pure aluminum. They say: "SIGG bottles are perfectly extruded for uniform, seamless construction ensuring leak-proof performance and extreme durability."

Where to take my reusable water bottle? You can take it to work, to the gym, while running, exercising, camping, you can even leave it in your car. Some people even freeze water inside the bottle and use as ice on ice coolers!

SIGG carries a big collection of several different styles, colors and sizes, they even have BPA-free reusable kids bottles, lots of designs to choose from.

A little history about SIGG:
They were founded in Switzerland in 1908 and they were producing a range of goods covering thousands of household and sports articles. They started producing the first single-color coated drinking bottles in 1980. In 1999 SIGG decides to focus on the production of the SIGG bottle and in 2008 they celebrated one hundred years of existence!

- Reusable
- Saves money
- Safer for your health
- Saves our environmentMore info here: http://www.ecobold.com/reusable-water-bottle-sigg/ This reusable... more
