Earth Day, April 22nd is over but earth day needs to continue to happen everyday and continue to inspire awareness and appreciation for our Earth’s environment.  Save the world one cup at a time with The Eco Coffee Cup with Lid for only $6.95.  Use one of these 12-oz. ceramic cups again and again, rather than drinking your brew from a paper or foam cup that will spend years in a landfill.  The silicone sleeve provides additional insulation and gives you a firm grip, while the silicone lid holds tight to prevent spills.  The Eco Coffee Cup is designed to fit in your car’s cupholders.  Let’s continue to encourage environmentally-aware behaviors, such as recycling, using energy efficiently, and reducing or reusing disposable items.

We recently posted up a section related to Lakeside’s commitment to the environment. Here is a brief excerpt of the article and you are encouraged to visit the section to see what we are doing to help the environment.

“At The Lakeside Collection®, we take our role as one of America’s premier catalog marketers seriously. As such, we recognize our responsibility to conserve and protect our natural resources, and have made significant strides toward a “greener” future. From our commitment to responsible paper procurement and catalog manufacturing, to ecologically conscious packaging programs, recycling initiatives and more, The Lakeside Collection® has established a conservation program that continues to grow. We’ve made great progress, and though we still have more to do, it is our goal to conduct our business with a sense of mindfulness and appreciation for the world and its natural resources.”

It may be getting greener outside but how green is it inside?  I know I try my best to keep it green, do the right thing, have a positive impact on the environment.  You know the drill.  The faster I run the harder I have to try it seems.  So I have decided to make small changes that I can easily bring into my daily routine.  I know drinking water is heatlhy but worry about the bottle going into a landfill.  One easy way to fix that is just a simple re-usable bottle.  The Set of 5 Water Bottles is a great set you can use – and possibly coax some others in the family to use as well as friends to use.

These are a great choice to get stared with; while you’re being good to the environment, you’re also being good to yourself.  And if you run around as much as me, the fact that you can throw these in the dishwasher and go, makes all the difference.  Got some other great ways to get greener?  Share your ideas.  I know I could always use one!
