GenGreen Life: A Wealth of Local Green Resources

:: GenGreenlife.com
.
The goal of GenGreenLife.com is to be the most comprehensive and diverse green resource available for people looking to live a locally-focused, environmentally conscious lifestyle. GenGreen Life and Co-op America have partnered together to bring more awareness to pre-screened environmentally and socially conscious businesses through their online networks. It is important to GenGreen that their businesses listed within their directory are truly green. GenGreenLife.com has an extensive Business and Non-Profit directory of companies, events and resources from around the country that are environmentally friendly. The Web site is easy to navigate through, and to find a local company, resource or event, you just type in your zip code. GenGreen Life's resourses include Food, Transoprtation, Jobs & Volunteering, Event Planning, Education, Pet Care, Business Services and Health & Beauty, just to name a few categories. The site also posts a Green Tip of The Day, which I always enjoy reading. Today's Tip: "Is the upcoming winter season getting you down? Having problems with depression? Cure it naturally with St. John's Wort extracts. Also known as Hypericum perforatum, St. John's Wort has been used for ages to alleviate depression and hailed as a worthy sleep aide. It has been proven to be just as effective in treating depression as commonly prescribed anti-depressants on the market today. You can find it available at most vitamin and local grocers." Gen Green Life also keeps you in the "know" with their Green Headlines, a list of full story articles about the most recent news on Green issues. I also like to read up on Envirnonmental issues and they have an education area on the site entitled, Environment 101. I would recommend this resource center to any one, of any age, searching for easy-to-understand explanations to some of the tough environmental issues effecting our planet. Visit GenGreenLife.com today, and make sure to bookmark the site as one of your favorite green resources.

Environmentally-Friendly Holiday Shopping

Universol Aromas Soy Candle Co. is constantly striving to be as environmentally-friendly as possible!
We use candle supplies that are recyclable and reusable. Our travel tins are made of aluminum and are recyclable. Our glass containers are recyclable in some states, but are always reusable. Liquefied soy wax wipes away with just soap and water. One creative way of reusing the glass container your soy candle came in is to fill the glass container with colored marbles, stick in a few pieces of bamboo and fill it with water...instant vision therapy! We reuse all of the packing supplies we receive. About 90% of the packing and shipping supplies we ship out can be recycled and reused. Our packing peanuts are biodegradable and our packing paper is recyclable. Universol Aromas Soy Candle Co. guarantees that our natural soy candles contain no petroleum or paraffin products. Our natural soy candles contain no beeswax or animal products, making them vegetarian/vegan-friendly. Our natural soy wax is manufactured meeting FDA an kosher standards. Our soy candles directly help support American farmers and the American economy. All of our soy candles are proudly made in the USA! Each element in our soy candles come from American companies, just like us. We like to think globally and act locally! Using 100% soy wax in our natural soy candles is just one way we can help reduce American dependence on foreign oil. Burning our soy candles is a great way to support the new wave of Go Green campaigns.
