Some days when it comes to writing my blog, I have so much to write on it can be tough to decide.. My husband suggested I write about the wonderful organic and local meal he prepared for dinner, I was going to write on deodorant; but after I read one of my fellow green bloggers post - I got side tracked into shopping (not for deodorant but for cool cool green stuff.)Jollygoodandgreen wrote of the Green Ribbon Pledge - I decided to check it out and have joined her in her pledge. This is my pledge: Over the course of a year, the energy saved as part of your green ribbon pledge is 6810 kWh/year and 200 gallons of gasoline.
But while taking the Green Ribbon Pledge I clicked on to the store: The Rain Forest Site and here you can buy gifts for anyone and everyone and the great thing is you give back to the people who created your item, you give back to the environment. For the most part their products are organic, recycled, fairly traded and ethnic. You can purchase gifts to help others or animals. I purchased a pair of school shoes for a girl in Africa. South Africa is where I was born and raised it is my home so I chose to help those less fortunate on the continent Africa.
I could spend hours perusing the site. Great selection and always an opportunity to help the environment with every purchase.
Guys and Gals - GO SHOPPING!!!!!!! (guilt free - yes there is such a thing).

Good for you! Glad to see you took the pledge. The rainforest site is a great place too yeah! btw, glad to see you bought Sophie, she is well worth it. I love her natural rubber scent, she's just adorable. We've actually ordered 2 more because my 2 oldest felt the need to have one too, Grandma funded that one =). Keep up the good green work!!!!
