Flaunt It! Monday: ecominders

I’m waking up to about 4-6″ of snow this morning and it is so pretty.  Schools are closed, so the kids will want to head out as soon as they wake up, I’m sure!

We had some of my Husband’s family in from Florida for a few days, we had a great visit with them dispite the non-stop rain and spending an entire night in the ER with my 5 year old.  No big issue, a bad ear infection that couldn’t wait for the doctor’s office to open in the morning, she’s fine now. The ER was PACKED! We finally saw the doctor at midnight (got there at 8pm) and he said ER visits were up 33% due to unemployment and lack of insurance. I hope things turn around for all of us in the near future.

productexample-kids-rolloverSo, moving on into the week, it’s Flaunt It! Monday.  Today I bring to you a product called Ecominders. Ecominders are reusable stickers with reminders to help save the environment. (from the site):

Ecominders are printed green on clear, repositionable stock and were designed to fit in the environment they are suited for. Ecominders Home & Office are perfectly sized for their application and are large enough to be noticed but not in any way obtrusive. Ecominders Kids & Schools were designed to be colorful, clever and appealing to a young audience. No matter what Ecominder you choose, you will see how truly easy it is to make a difference when it comes to saving the environment!

These stickers are perfect for an office or school environment helping others remember to shut off the lights, printer, coffee maker, or even use a few less squares of TP. The school version of these stickers are colorful and fun, great for catching kids attention.  I plan to send this set over to my daughters k5 class.

The home/office version kindly reminds your co-workers, family, or even yourself to unplug, turn off, turn down and more, whenever possible, to help conserve resources.

Additionally, Ecominders has taken all the right steps to make the product itself enviro friendly:

Ecominders are printed using eco-friendly inks & environmentally responsible processes by a 100% wind powered printing facility (via Renewable Choice Energy). And 1% of our profits go directly to 1% For the Planet, benefiting numerous environmental efforts around the world.

This product is a great little step to help you make a lighter impact on your environment!  Ok, so off to get the kids dressed to play in the snow while you get your entries in! Ecominders is giving away sets of these Ecominders along with a reusable tote to 3 of my readers!

    Ecominders are easy-to-use, removable & reusable stickers that help us all remember the little things we can do every day – things that make a big difference when it comes to protecting our planet.

    This is wonderful ! It’s hard to tell the kids & remind them of how to be “green’.
    They love stickers & this sounds like a fun way for them to learn how to save our planet!

    Green tip: Need a plant for the office? Consider Herbs: Basil, Dill, Sage or Lemon grass will enhance your space, freshen the air and it’s a great converstation starter.
