What if I told you that you can have an organic cotton reusable tote bag that was made in the USA for under $10?

Would you believe me? Well you better.

I recently recieved this email from a reader named Diane:

"I work for an educational, non-profit organization.  I’m very interested in all of the information on your website.  Right now I have to put my focus on finding a reusable tote bag for our trainers to carry their training supplies.  The specifications for the totes are:

Number of totes: 100+ (would consider ordering larger quantity if it would lower price significantly)
Size:  13” x 15” x 2” or smaller (about 9” x 9” x 2”)
Price:  somewhat flexible, but conservative"

You won't believe the incredible deals I found for her...and they were even locally produced organic cotton, recycled cotton, or organic hemp!

All of these supplies are easy to come by, eco-friendly, and help you take one more step towards a greener life.

Oh, did I mention that they're safe? Yeah, who wants PVC, chemicals, and dyes all over their kids?

Don't worry, you don't have to go store hopping and internet scouring, we're laying them all out right here for ya.

If gas prices have you dreaming of a fuel-efficient car, then you may want to look into buying a hybrid car. 

Hybrid-electric cars use two power sources instead of one.  They have a rechargeable energy storage system (battery powered) and a normal fuel powered engine.  Because hybrid cars essentially have two engines, they can run partly on electricity instead of solely on gasoline.  This means a hybrid car’s gas miles will be increased 20 to 30 miles per gallon. 
 
Everyone is rushing to trade in their gas-guzzlers for more efficient hybrid cars these days.  Khou.com reports “hybrid car sales have jumped along the gulf coast”.  This is because “Owning a hybrid car use to be a considered an environmentally friendly thing to do, but for a growing number of people it’s become more of a practicality as well.”

June is a busy month.

Among the many changes I've had to adjust to so far this summer, carving out some time to go hiking with some friends as a bachelor party was NOT something I had a hard time deciding to do!

June in middle Tennessee means that it is about 90-95 degrees with 95-100% humidity every bloody day.

Can you believe I hiked for 2 whole days in only one pair of socks?! Yeah, with REI's Inego Crew Hiking socks, it was an easy feat to accomplish.

...and they're in the EcoSensitive line!
