Flaunt It! Monday: myEARTH360

myEARTH360_logoSo the readers that visit Eco-Office Gals should have at least one fairly common goal: do what we can to help the Earth, right?  I certainly hope so!  So, when you get all these ideas going of simple things you can do each day to help the environment, where do you go? myEARTH360! A great online source full of great home products to green your home, work, yourself, your family and the pets.  I like that myEarth360 stocks products that are practical, things that you actually use in your home on a regular basis.

However, myEARTH360 goes beyond simply supplying environmentally sound products, portions of each sale goes back to schools to support environmental education and awareness! Here are some great details from the site:

  • Development of the I Count for My Earth Campaign, a school program that gets the green message out to kids in an interactive, fun way. Lynn personally developed the campaign before the business even existed and is just something I do because I think enviro-awareness has to start with the kids so they can become the champions at home.
  • Schools can participate in the I Count campaign for free, Shop & Share is optional.
  • Creating and selling signature I Count for My Earth water bottles at Lynn’s son’s suburban Chicago school.
  • Encouraging consumers to ‘vote with your dollars’, by shopping her online store and its diverse array of no-sacrifices-necessary, low-impact products. From essentials (home, school and office supplies, pet care, etc.) to extras (tableware and fashion), everything you buy counts for the earth!
  • Launch of myEARTH360 hosted green parties: attendees share ideas on how to buy more eco-responsibly while discovering amazing green products from the eco.practical to the eco.chic in an upbeat, communal atmosphere.
  • Regular e-newsletters and blog updates covering important eco-related issues like indoor air pollution, the battle of bottled water and what you can do about them.

This is a great place to shop and know you are really making a difference! So, I got to try a few fun products from Lynn’s store including some beeswax candles and some Shaklee Basic H2 All-Purpose Cleaner.

BWC-SQR4X3-1

The Beeswax candles were a first for me and I was excited to try some of these. I do enjoy candles and know how cruddy paraffin candles are. They were great and very slow burning in comparison to paraffin.

Lynn also included a bottle of Shaklee Basic H2 All-Purpose Cleaner from her Shaklee Get Clean Site. Shaklee is non-toxic, biodegradable and manufactured by a green company. The bottle came with a little bit of cleaner, which I just added water to the fill line. The cleaner was truly versatile and cleaned up everything nicely.  There were no strong odors, crazy colors, just clean!

I love the concept behind myEARTH360 and encourage you to visit them for your eco-friendly needs!

    I learned that if every US household replaced just one roll of virgin fiber paper towels with recycled, we’d save 544,000 trees!

    I think the recycled rubber English Retreads – Coupe is a great looking handbag and what a marvelous eco-friendly product!

    Love their Rain Forest Rain Tee. A tree is donated for every tee shirt purchased. That is really putting your money were your mouth is and I really love the design as well.

    I think the purse called the reiter8 – The Shortie, which is made from reclaimed sails otherwise headed for landfill. Looks great!

    While I’d love to try the straws and I love the recycled sail products, I’d most likely spend it on a few notebooks, the Banana Paper Notebook Fauna–Outstanding Butterfly and the TNF EcoPapers Notebook Fauna – Turtle Walk are pretty.
