Saving the Earth

I have been trying to find ways to make the earth a better place.  I started to bring in my own bags when I go to the grocery store (and other stores too). I do not buy bottled water, we refill our eco-friendly water bottles. We also recycle in our home. 

As more and more people begin to try and save the earth too, it is perfect way to get your brand out there and show that your company cares about reducing your carbon footprint.

There are many types of water bottles that are different materials.  My favorite (this week) is the stainless steel bottle.  It comes in different sizes and colors. There are always special pricing on these bottles because of their popularity.

 

The other very hot item is the non woven grocery bags which is large and hold a ton and very strong.  I carry 5 or 6 of them in my car.  My new favorite item is the bags that look like the plastic bags but they are nylon.  I carry them in my purse as I try to remember to bring them into the store.

 

 

All these new items are not only good for the enviroment but they are fashionable too.  What a great way to show everyone you care about the enviroment and brand your company logo too

Promotional Products at the Innauguration

After spending 12 hours with the television on and watching the innauguration, I was excited to see that promotional products made her apparence as well.

President Obama's first gift was a Lenox crystal etch bowl. 

The $2,500 one-of-a-kind bowl weighs nearly 8 pounds and shows an image of the White House, with cherry trees on each side. As the bowl is rotated, the president's residence can be seen through the trees.

Congress commissioned the bowl from Lenox Inc., which donated it as a gift, a favor permissible under a congressional resolution.

Yesterday each person sitting on the platform during the ceremony was given an official inauguration blanket.  It was made from recycled cotton, so eco-friendly too.

After the ceremony, President Obama spent time signing with an AT Cross pen which I am sure has either the White House or President Obama name engraved on it.

Everyone wants to be part of history and to remember the moment, so there were many tee shirts, buttons, knit hats which all have Obama or Innauguration Day logos on the items sold in stores and on the street yesterday.
