Business cards.

Thousands are given out every day and probably somewhere around 90% end up in the trash.

This will be part 1 of a 2 (or maybe 3) part series.

In this post, we'll talk about:

1. New eco-friendly mini business card options from Zazzle.com and Moo.com
    
2. How these eco-friendly mini business cards actually improve the chance of you getting noticed and rembered
   

Have you heard? it's 2009.

Bury you worries deep in the ground and forget about them forever...

Until beautiful flowers spring up from them.

That's right, I can't really think of a more beautiful and functional desk accessory than a calendar that has seeds embedded in the 100% post consumer paper!

How green (or sanitary) could it be to throw a big ole' hunk of feces in your washing machine?

It's true, there are many ways to live green that just don't fit into daily life...and that's the #1 reason I hear of why people don't make any attempts to go green.

What if bottles, bags, and other plastic products could be made from biodegradable materials? Oh, wait, they can be!

Have you heard of biodegradable plastic products made from a substance called PLA?

PLA (polylactic acid) is a resin that is mostly made from, you better believe it, corn (although it can be made from other starchy sources such as potatoes).

As Elizabeth Royte from the Smithsonian Magazine puts it, "[This is] an industrial resin poised to become--if you can believe all the hype--the future of plastic in a post-petroleum world".

That said, are PLA products safe? Are they really biodegradable? Do they really save energy and money?
