Check out this eco inspired version of the Slinky!

I know what you’re thinking … how could this even stand up to it’s famed metallic counterpart (some are plastic now too…ewww!)? Well, according to the makers it will do everything the Slinky does and more. The flexy is made from recycled cardboard and biodegradable materials. I’ve already been thinking about the eco tot’s 3rd birthday and what we might get him. The flexy just made the list!

Find it at Uncommon Goods!

lot’s of 50’s inspired nostalgia and goods for even the slightest shade of greenies & non greenies alike!

Recycle Your Day, America + Green Mom’s Carnival!

**Attention: GREEN MOM’S CARNIVAL at end of this post!

Ever wonder where the title Recycle Your Day came from? To make a long story short, in my opinion, recycling is one of the easiest forms to contribute in helping to save the planet and within our day we do what’s necessary to improve the planet from recycling to wearing your jeans over and over again. It all happens within our day and starts all over again the next. So, there you have it; the root of my reasoning in a nut shell.

Tomorrow is America Recycles Day. Do you have any plans to celebrate? Last year our local bowling alley had a recycling drive but this year it seems to be quiet. Nothing has been coordinated and of course by the time I checked in it was too late to plan anything. I don’t think I’m going to let this happen again next year. November 15th is actually a pretty significant day for me- not only is it America Recycle’s Day, but  it’s also my parent’s 34th anniversary and my sister’s 33rd birthday too!
