Giveaway: In honor of Earth Month

Apr 22, 2009 87 Comments by Disclosure

 

**This giveaway is now closed.**

It is Earth Month, and although I’m a little behind here, I wanted to make sure that you didn’t miss out on an amazing opportunity! Thanks to several sponsors, I, along with many of the other ElevenMoms are able to giveaway a Go Green Bundle of five products! This giveaway will be fast so be sure to enter quickly!

The Bissell Little Green Multi-Purpose Compact Earth-Friendly Deep Cleaner is first on the list of goodies! I have had another version of this machine for many years, and I absolutely love it. It’s perfect for picking up little spills or even some larger messes. It has saved my carpet many times! I always keep solution in the tank and keep it on the ready just in case my girls, or my dog decide to make some sort of mess in the house. It has proven it’s weight in gold several times over. 

 

britaThe next item is the Brita Water Pitcher. My parents have used these pitchers for quite a long time now, and they love them. I received one to try out, and it is pretty cool. I would greatly suggest one if you don’t already have a water dispenser in your refrigerator. Well, even if you do, it’s nice to have on hand for making a quick pitcher of iced tea or something rather than waiting to fill the pitcher from the fridge. It’s definitely great to have on hand rather than buying bottled water all of the time. 

 

whitecloud#3 is the White Cloud Green Earth Paper Towels and Toilet Paper. These products are made from 100% recycled paper, and they are actually pretty soft and absorbent! I didn’t get to keep my set because we just didn’t have any room left in our car for our cross country drive, but my parents did get to keep them, and they did like them. I’ve also heard some really good feedback from other moms as well. I think I’ll just have to run to the store and get some to see for myself how well they really do work! 

 

Tide Coldwater Liquid Detergent is next on the list of goodies in this Go Green Giveaway! Have you ever thought about how much energy you use up when you wash your clothes in hot water? That water heater works over time to refill for other things like showers, dish washing, etc. Using cold water to wash your colors saves a great amount on the environment and your electric or gas bill! 

 

 

And lastly…

if you’ve seen my review/appearance on Good Day Sacramento, you saw that I love my GreenWorks All Purpose Cleaner. It cleans up dried spaghetti sauce with very little effort! It’s made from plant based ingredients so it’s safer for your household and the environment. I honestly think the GreenWorks All purpose cleaner cleans messes easier than dishwashing liquid, etc. do a great job of cleaning those tough messing in our homes without worrying about harmful chemicals since Greenworks is a plant-based cleaner. I’ve stocked up on most of their products. 

So now that you know a little bit about the products and what I think of them… who wants to win this Go Green Bundle and try these products out for yourself??? 

Here’s how you enter!

    Our household only uses green cleaners. I’m simply amazed at the transformation too! The smell wonderful and everything feels so clean! I love it. We also recycle and use canvas bags. Whether we are at the mall or going grocery shopping…canvas bags are the way to go!

    We try to use any lights in the house when it is ONLY truly needed. Now working on trying to get him in the habit of unplugging things when they are not being used and turning off the computers! Oh and we stopped the purchase of water bottles quite a while ago. :)

    We recycle and compost. I use my own bags at the grocery store. I’ve switched my light bulbs to CFLs. We turn off the lights and TV when we leave a room and try to keep things unplugged when not in use. My kids and husband walk or bike to school and work.

    Our family started to become much more aware of the environment over the past year… we’ve turned down the hot water heater to 120*, switched all of our light bulbs to CFL’s, turn off the lights when we’re not in a room, recycle EVERYTHING possible (our garbage container is the smallest on our street!), we use environmentally friendly household cleaners & organicly certified toiletries, use re-usable shopping bags, and we plant trees & shrubs yearly. Whew! I’m pretty sure our carbon footprint is pretty low!

    I just started a worm bin to reduce the amount of garbage from my household. I use reusable grocery bags and non-toxic cleaners. I recycle everything I can. I just bought a machine to make soda at home in reusable containers to cut down on waste from carbonated beverage containers (cutting them out completely would be better, but I can’t cut the habit!).

  21. Eloise C says:
    April 23, 2009 at 10:07 am

    In our house, we go green by using energy efficient light bulbs throughout. We also recycle whatever we can and try to reduce our electricity use as much as possible. I have also started buy the new “green” cleaners out on the market and have switched my laundry soap and dryer sheets to the environmentally friendly brands that are out like Arm and Hammer and Purex. Thanks so much for such a wonderful giveaway!

    We go green by not running the water when we brush teeth, by recycling everything possible (including toys, clothes, etc. by having yard sales and Freecycle) and by making sure lilghts are switched off unless we need them. We also use Tots2Tweens bags to cut down on plastic bag usage.

  24. Naddez says:

    I am a HUGE water drinker, so I started thinking about plastic I was contributing to the landfills and I was ashamed of myself, ME the tree hugger! I immediately went out and got a Re-Fillable bottle that I loved and started to use it! NO excuses!

    I am recycling like a Banshee! NO excuses on that either! The Bin is there, I use it!

    I made my own vinegar and water Glass and mirror cleaner, put it in a spray bottle and use it! And what do I use to wipe dry with?? Newspaper! There is something in the print that makes the windows really clean!

    I am Talking Shorter showers… grrrrr! And washing my clothes in cold water in FULL loads! Dishwasher MUST be full too!
    These are a few of my NEW GREEN Lifestyle Changes!!!

    I started using the White Cloud Green toilet paper and paper towels. We recycle. I am teaching my children about the importance of going green (in easier to understand words for them, of course). I use the energy efficient light bulbs. I consolidate water and teach my children to do the same. We’ve planted a fresh veggie garden of foods we actually eat and spices we use. We have an apple tree and peach tree that we eat from, not to mention the blackberry bush..mmmmmmm We also use reuseable shopping bags.
    For the future, I am looking into buying more environmentally friendly clothes for the children.
    Thanks for the awesome chance to win such a GREAT bundle!

I also no longer use harsh chemical cleaners. Since I have COPD my lungs are much happier without the chemicals! Thanks! hondaray6 at hotmail dot com

    I’m sending my husband on a TAD which means less water used in the house. No extra lights to be on, one less person driving a car to and from base. Kids and I go to bed earlier which means all lights out at 8. If I could find a way for my kids to pick up dog mess in the back yard I woun’t need plastic bags, but until then we are reusing the bags for dog mess. As the great thing of him being gone if a light burns out I don’t replace it anytime soon…who needs all three light on in a fan.

    We use reusable bags at the store, any plastic bags we do get are used for litter box cleanings, we have SEVERAL CFL’s thoughout the house, we turn all lights off when we leave, we use ceiling fans and the blinds to help control temp in the house, we reuse plastic and glass containers, we recycle gift bags and wrappings, we also have a front loading washer. We continue to add more “green” things to our list!!

    When we moved into our new house we replace all the bulbs there with the energy efficient bulbs. We are using our own bags at the store. I find that the stores aren’t ready for this. It annoys them when we use our own bags. So if I can self checkout I do. We also turned the water down on our water heater. THanks
