Natural Pod, FSC Certified Wooden Toys Our #ecowed Hosts
Plastic toys can be seen polluting landfills. They break easily, aren’t biodegradable and we’re left wondering whether these toys are made in China and are safe; this is questionable and scary. Heirloom quality toys that have multi-gender/muti-purpose uses are hard to come by. Take it to the next level with toys that are made of FSC certified wood, don’t use toxic glues but water based glues and adhere to quality, eco-friendly manufacturing and practices across the board – a feat in itself! Luckily we have the answer, our hosts for this week #ecowed party: Natural Pod.
Join us this week and let’s talk:
- Christmas shopping – helping children use their imagination without the bells and whistles!
- What does FSC certified wood mean and why should you care?
- What are the benefits of quality wooden toys and their cost savings in both the short and long term?

Social Media in Real Life
On the way home from Vegas I was tired. My feet hurt, my body hurt my shoulder was about to fall off and I was recovering from some toxins (wine) and information people meeting overload. I stepped out of the taxi that I share wiht Melinda from Earth Mama Angel Baby and did self check in. Without thinking twice I decided to upgrade to first class and just ignored the extra charge – I felt deserving.
After having a glass of wine in my plush first class seat and reading the newspaper I closed my eyes and relaxed. I opened them and saw the nice gentelman sitting next to me open his laptop and Fisher Price pop up. Hmmm, I suddenly perked up and saw my expensive seat as an investment and opportunity. Being the soical person I am we struck up a coverstation and it was a flight that was filled with eco-friendly product development talk, consumer demand, toy engineering (he was the lead engineer for toy development), packaging, Fisher Price history and corporate carbon footprints. A man that had worked for Fisher Price for 20 years and was obviouslly loyal but also eco-friendly in his own right; buying a push mower that was fueled by his muscles and energy as well as recently using vinegar for his fabric softener.
The point to this being that sometimes it helps to network online and be social but in real life it also helps to live on the edge and be social. Take off the headset, stop chatting with your own circle of friends and branch out and see just who is that person sitting next to you – he or she might become a good friend, business contact or help you network. They might know someone that knows someone who is intrested in your business or services. With any luck the 3 Green Angels will get lucky (Clear Throat: Fisher Price is not on Facebook or Twitter and a eco-friendly line…nope!) Good thing I upgraded to 1st class! Have you ever had an experience like this?
