Natural Pod, FSC Certified Wooden Toys Our #ecowed Hosts

October 5, 2009 Sommer Comments #ecowed, cpsia

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?

RSVP to win anyone of these three prizes by leaving a comment below with your Twitter ID:

1. Small Tree Branch Blocks

2. Natural Stacking Ring

3. $100 Shopping Spree on http://www.naturalpod.com

#ecowed with @ecostoreusa

September 26, 2009 Sommer Comments #ecowed

Have you heard of @ecostoreusa and their eco friendly, plant-based household cleaning products? They are as effective as the leading supermarket brands, and their body and baby care ranges are gentle on your skin and are simply beautiful to use. According to the company their products are made from plant- and mineral-based ingredients, free of toxic chemicals that bring people closer to nature with non-toxic, environmentally safe solutions that also help to reduce our carbon footprint.

From their ecommerce website:

Our products also help to ensure value for the dollar for our customers. We know it can be expensive to buy natural or organic products but we’ve found a way to safely super-concentrate our formulations. Our super-concentrates means that a little really does go a long way – saving you money by cutting down significantly on cost per use.

Now available in the USA market, ecostore USA is partnered with New Zealand-based ecostore; a mainstream choice in consumer products that help people throughout New Zealand, Australia, and select locations in Asia and the UK, take better care of their health and homes. For even more information about our New Zealand partners, visit their site at www.ecostore.co.nz.

ecostore NZ was founded more than 15 years ago by Melanie and Malcolm Rands from their home in an eco village in New Zealand.

All of the families that lived in the farm based eco village shared a commitment to organic growing and healthy living, making this an ideal environment in which a young, environmentally conscious business could thrive. Each household in the village was responsible for their own waste water, which quickly highlighted the problems caused by using regular supermarket cleaning products that relied heavily on cheap, petroleum-based, synthetic ingredients.

The founder, Malcolm Rands (EcoMan), will be joining us this Wednesday @ecostoreusa to help educate us on their company, products and to learn more about Malcolm Rands whose known as “EcoMan”. Malcolm was a stay at home dad who wanted safer products for his family AND the planet. Malcolm knows “ingredients”, he knows parenthood, eco-friendly living! Join us for another fun #ecowed party and see if you can stump EcoMan!

PRIZES:

3 $50 ecostore USA e-certificates to try the products that will work for you and your family.

ecostore USA is also giving away monthly prizes on their Facebook Fan page as well as a prize that will be drawn October 1, 2009 for anyone that becomes a Fan of their new Facebook quiz.
