Stewards of the Green

Sun Chips: King of Crinkle and Crunch!

 

Sun Chips’ bags are now 100 percent compostable, which means they’re designed to fully break down in just 14 weeks when placed in a hot, active compost bin or pile. Be sure to visit www.sunchips.com to learn more about the research behind compostable bags, and to get some tips on how you can practice composting at your own house. Oh and did we mention that not only are the bags tree hugger savvy but that the chips themselves are the most flavorful ever? Sashay Magazine is divided between Garden Salsa and French Onion. We just can’t pick a fave. But we do know they come in our favorite bag!

 

 

Starbucks Recycling Initiative

Not only are we in love with their hot Chai tea latte with soymilk and the low-fat berry coffee cake, but we also commend America’s eclectic coffee giant for their commitment to the planet. According to www.starbucks.com, Starbucks served 4.4 million more beverages in reusable cups in 2009 than in 2008. And, by 2015, they plan to have recycling available in all stores where they control waste collection, and serve 25 percent of beverages in reusable cups. Their website offers a plethora of tips and information regarding energy conservation, climate change and overall environmental awareness. So do your part in going green today by checking them out online.

 

 

Healthy Pick Again! The Nutro Company

With every ingredient carefully selected, it was hard to pass up the Nutro Company! All the products are exceptional. One we highly recommend is the holistic dog food, ULTRASSENTIAL™ Superfood Blend. It is the perfect mix and your dog will love it. Since it contains high-quality proteins, antioxidant-rich fruits and vegetables, whole grains and healthy oils, it's healthy. The best part--it tastes good! This is just what the doctor ordered to give your dog the best coat possible. Check out their other pet products at http://www.thenutrocompany.com/pet-food.aspx
