Eco-Friendly Holiday Cards
Great design meets 100% sustainable paper.
All our holiday cards are printed on 100% recycled, 100% post-consumer waste paper. We use soy based inks, biodegradable/compostable cellophane, and recycled cardboard.
Our Holiday Cards are:
– 100% post-consumer waste paper.
– Soy based ink.
– Size 5 x 7 inches.
Events: Christmas Tree, Holiday Bird, Holiday Ornaments, Holiday Dog, Holiday Icons, Holiday Ornaments and Winter Dreams
We use 100% post-consumer waste paper certified by the Forest Stewardship Council(FSC). All ink is soy based and non-toxic. Our paper is processed Totally Chlorine Free(TCF). All manufacturing is 100% wind powered generated. Cellophane sleeves for gift cards are 100% biodegradable.
Converting trees into paper uses large amounts of energy, water and chemicals, and can generate vast amounts of air and water pollution. Post-Consumer Waste Paper is paper that has been used by the consumer and kept out of a landfill through a recycling program. It is considered the most environmentally efficient, since it has had at least one useful life before returning to service.
Totally Chlorine Free(TCF) indicates that no chlorine or chlorine compounds were used in the pulping process. Chlorine bleaching produces by-products including dioxins and furans. When released into the water, dioxins do not break down. As early as 1985, EPA labeled dioxins “the most potent carcinogen ever tested in laboratory animals.”
So enjoy, “saving trees one gift at a time!”

Reknitz Reclaimed Cotton K9 Sweater
Heavy reclaimed cotton yarn provides more stretch to easily slide on and off over doggie heads and legs.
The cotton yarn is derived from pre-consumer textile table remnants, that are cleaned and separated into raw fibers. The cotton fibers are then blended with 24% new acrylic fibres and spun into yarn for sweaters. What’s more is that the fibers are not re-colored, as the careful mixing of textile cuttings creates the eye-catching palette.
Available in 7 sizes, simply measure your dog from their collar to their tail. Easy cleaning, machine washable cold/cold and dry on delicate. Made with pride in the USA.

Green Gift Guide from Nubius Organics
Why gift eco-conscientiously? You can give a gift without harming the earth. The manufacturing process for most factory/commercially produced goods is extremely destructive. It doesn’t need to be, but chemical-laden mass production is cheaper than eco-conscientiously produced goods. Nubius Organics purposefully selects gifts that are sustainably made and fair trade produced.
And when you give a gift that’s reusable, you’re spreading the environmental message even further so others can live more conscientiously as well.

Better Earth Emporium
Re-usable Grocery Bagging System Large 9 Tote Bag Set
Eco Friendly Re-Usable Grocery Bagging System
Large 9 Bag Set
Introducing Better Earth Emporiums re-usable Grocery Bagging System to our online customers. These pretty coordinating bags are sewn right here at BEE for the Eco-Conscious, Style-Conscious shopper, or anybody who just wants something attractive and different.
All our sets are constructed of used, sometimes new, clean good quality bed top sheets that have gone unsold at the Goodwill stores in our area. Better Earth Emporium purchases these sheets from the Goodwill Salvage store, just before they go out to the rag bundles. We only re-purpose the best, and stain free for our bagging systems. Bottom sheets are not ever used, because they tend to have worn weak areas and stains. All sheets are then cleaned and sanitized for your safety.
A cut apart plastic T-shirt bag was used for the first pattern, so cashiers love our bags, they fit on the standard T-shirt bag stands used just about everywhere. As you can see in the pictures that these bags are roomy and versatile, and STRONG! If you can handle it, so can the bag. I have thrown 3 gallons of milk into one in the pouring rain once, about broke my arm, but not the bag. We have sets of our own, and have been using them for everything for a long time. We started making them for sale after people all over wanted to know where we got them, and where they could get a set. Every grocery bag set is unique, no two sets are the same. Your neighbor is not going to have the same set you are.
The set you see, is the set that you will get!
This set consists of 1 outer Coordinated Solid Bag and 8 Patterned Bags
Super easy care: wash and dry as you would your bed sheets. Make sure that bags are dry before storing back in outer bag to avoid mold growth and musty odors.
BONUS: THEY DON’T BREAK OR TEAR WHEN THEY GET WET!
We have found through our own use that, if the bags are folded with the pleats in, and the handles on top, stacked in the same direction put in 2 piles in the outer bag the cashier can grab and hang quickly with the least amount of fuss on their part.

2010 HALLOWEEN CHICOBAG 3 Styles to Choose From
ChicoBag~Original~Halloween~Reusable Shopping Bag with Integrated Stuff Sack. Carry in your purse or pocket.
ChicoBag is having a Halloween Bag design contest for children 1-13 years old. When you purchase a Halloween bag I will send you an entry form along with your purchase. Contest ends 11/5/10.
Trick or treaters can now put the “eek” into their eco-friendly celebration by toting ChicoBag’s™ 2010 reusable Trick-or-Treat bag. ChicoBag™ realized there was no one better to create our annual Halloween bag design than the user. We decided to hold a contest for the best green-spirited Halloween design and invited students nationwide to participate.
This year’s design was inspired by Gracie Gralike and is available with two different pouch options; a bat pouch or a pumpkin pouch. In addition to last year’s winning design, there is also a Jack-o-Lantern design printed on an orange bag.
All three designs are featured on our Original ChicoBag brand reusable bag, providing trick-or-treaters plenty of room for their goodies!
The ChicoBag™ design contest is co-sponsored by Green Halloween, a grassroots movement that is helping families and communities nationwide start new, healthier holiday traditions. Submissions are being taken until October 31, 2010. What’s even sweeter? 10% of the sale of each bag will be contributed to Treeswing, the organization making Green Halloween (and other great initiatives) possible!
25 pound capacity.
Hooks to your key chain or belt loop
Easily fits into your pocket or purse.

LEARN THE FACTS & STOP SINGLE-USE BAG WASTE
The average American uses between 300 and 700 plastic bags per year.
If everyone in the United States tied their annual consumption of plastic bags together in a giant chain, the chain would reach around the Earth not once, but 760 times!
According to the American Forest and Paper Association, in 1999 the U.S. alone used 10 billion paper grocery bags, requiring 14 million trees to be cut down.
Plastic bags don’t biodegrade, they photo-degrade—breaking down into small toxic bits contaminating soil and waterways and entering the food-chain when mistaken for zooplankton or jellyfish.
*Materials: Made of durable woven polyester. Our fabric allows for easy opening and stuffing. No special folding is required.
*Designed to be unforgettable!
*Integrated Pouch measures approximately 3” by 4”.
*The ChicoBag measures approximately 18” by 14.5” when un-stuffed 1.5 oz
*Machine washable cold, hang to dry.
ChicoBags are manufactured by a fair labor, fair wage manufacturing company in China. This allows us to make adopting a reusable bag habit affordable for the majority. Through our interactions and friendships, we believe that we are making a positive environmental and social impact in Asia.
Each ChicoBag comes with a one year warranty from the date of purchase against defects in material and workmanship. During this period, The ChicoBag Company will repair or replace, at our discretion the defective product. Under no circumstances will the buyer be entitled to consequential or incidental damages.
ChicoBag has a recycling program for expired ChicoBags so you can feel good about supporting us. Expired ChicoBags will be repurposed into door mats, dog beds and prayer flags.
