Known for my punctuality, I'm usually the girl people ask, "what time is it?" After my old watch broke last year, I've been relying on my cell phone to tell the time. But that's all changed now that I'm sporting REVEAL's stylish Chirukin Bamboo Watch (http://www.revealshop.com/products/chikurin-watch).
So why is this watch eco-friendly, you ask? Bamboo is ultra durable and doesn't contain the BPA or phthalates that are common in plastic. As you can see, it has a gorgeous natural color so there's no paint needed. Bamboo is also the fastest growing woody plant on earth and it grows without the need for chemicals or large amounts of water.
This watch is also fun to wear! I like the feeling of the smooth and light-weight wood on my wrist. It's versatile enough to work with all my outfits and actually looks like a cool bracelet until you notice the clock face.
For other styles, be sure to check out REVEAL's Luxury Bamboo Watch for men and Luxury Forest Watch made out of beechwood.

Have you ever considered how much it costs to keep unlimited clean water flowing into your faucets at home? Or how much water goes into growing all the food that you eat? Can you imagine our supply of water running out?
These are topics we explored during our interview with Robert Glennon, Professor of Law and Public Policy at the University of Arizona and author of "Unquenchable: America's Water Crisis and What To Do About It". He is on a mission to hold government and individuals responsible for true stewardship of our greatest resource: water.

In the movie Food, Inc., Stonyfield Farm "CE-Yo" Gary Hirshberg makes the case for selling his organic yogurt at Walmart, arguing that going big will help propel organic food into the mainstream. Walmart is of course the largest grocery retailer in the US, and these days they sell a lot more organic food than just yogurt.
