Krogers......Organics for everyone?

Get Busy...........
You’re astonishing…how dare you waste it.
You and your organization have the power to change everything.
To create remarkable products and services.
To over deliver. To be the best in the world.
… the lesson is simple: if you’ve got, as much as you’ve got, use it.
Use it to become the best in the world, to change the game,
to set the agenda for everyone else…
… if its not going to put a DENT in the world, quit. Right now.
- Seth Godin
I usually don't post stuff like this, but it seemed right to do so ....somehow
Children's Green Dining Set

Rechargeable batteries
It has been a hard week for replacing stuff around the house. I don't like to replace anything because it seems wasteful and not so ECO. If I can find things at resale shops or garage sales I am content, but the rechargeable battery/charger kits I have found at local department stores don't seem to last? So I'm going out on a limb and trying these nickel zinc version from an unknown manufacturing company. I found them at www.greenbatteries.com wish me luck!
Charter Club Organic sheets @ Macys
Organic cotton anything can be tricky and costly. So many times before I have bought organic cotton t-shts or sheet sets and after 4 months they have holes in them or fall apart. I am a ruff sleeper and tend to have the sheets changed twice a week, but I have a Energy Star washer and dry them on the line in the yard , so I think that makes up for all my neurotic bedding ways and over washing. I'm going to try this Charter club set from Macy's this week because they are on sale at %40 off and I hope they last at least 6 months this time..... www.macys.com
Earth gro Organic Humus/Manure
It smells.... cause its poop, but after only a week of it in my garden, my flowers are brighter and fuller? Maybe I'm just crazy, but for under $2 a bag at my local Home Depot this seems to be the best buy of the past week. www.homedepot.com
Kiehls Aloe Vera Body Wash
Here is another great product from Kiehls that I just tried out, and have found to be quite good. This aloe vera biodegradable liquid body wash scrubbed all the garden dirt and grim away with ease and its bottle is P.E.T . When will all companies get on the bandwagon with great earth friendly packaging? www.kiehls.com
