Eco-Friendly + Green Gifts for the Holidays

Tuesday, November 2nd, 2010

green gift.s600x600 Eco Friendly + Green Gifts for the Holidays

Candy consumed and pumpkins composted, fall is over, and the unofficial fifth season, Holidays, begins. Planning and preparing for the holidays consume November and December days, and gift giving takes center stage.

There are many ways to incorporate some eco-friendly gifts as you shop and buy. And why? A few reasons green gifts rock, in our and PureZing.com’s opinions:

-If the recipient throws it away, at least it’s biodegradable.

-Because friends don’t give friends icky chemicals.

-If the gift reflects what you think of the recipient, a green gift means you think they’re non-toxic, authentic, and socially responsible.

-Every gift we give comes with an environmental price tag, and green gifts wear the lowest-marked ones. We all love low prices, right?

-From pure and fragrant 100 % soy Kobo Candles, baby-soft organic cotton stuffed animals by Lana, handmade and low-fire ceramic vases and vessels by Perch and 100% organic Bamboo dining and kitchenware by Bambu, eco-friendly gift options abound.

As you pen your lists and plan your purchases, check back with Olive and Myrtle for budget-conscious recycled, repurposed, sustainable green gifts. Also coming up: green gift options the way you shop for them: For Her, For Him, For Pets, For Kids, Hostess Gifts, and more.

Happy online shopping! (Which is not only a greener way to shop, but a saner way, too—no malls, crowds, parking lots, or lines. Just you and your computer, maybe some pajamas and hot chocolate….)

Benefits of Using Soy Candles

Friday, October 29th, 2010

KBO ArtmsnLemongrass 77001 72dpi 460x460 Benefits of Using Soy Candles

Soy candles are better for you, your home and your environment. Here’s why:

Soy burns cleaner- soy wax is non-toxic and burns cleaner than paraffin. The petrol-carbon that burns in conventional candles can blacken walls, ceilings and furniture. It can also contaminate ventilation duct work in your home, as well as add toxic carcinogens in the air you and your family breathe.

Soy burns longer- its proven that soy candles burn slower and cooler than paraffin wax.

Soy is renewable- soybeans are renewable, conventional candles use paraffin which consists of petroleum, a non-renewable resource.

Soy is biodegradable- soybeans are vegetables and are naturally biodegradable; this also makes it easier to remove from materials and surfaces than paraffin wax.

In addition, soybean products creates economic growth for farmers.

Olive & Myrtle features KOBO pure soy candles. Only the highest quality fine fragrance and essential oils are used to create these beautiful, long-lasting candles. Each KOBO candle is hand poured using domestically grown pure soy wax and lead-free enviro-safe cotton wicks.

Check out KOBO pure soy candles at Olive & Myrtle.

The Sustainable Cotton Project

Wednesday, March 17th, 2010

The Sustainable Cotton Project

Organic cotton is beneficial because it is grown without pesticides, herbicides, insecticides, chemical fertilizers or any other chemicals. This makes a tremendous difference in the production of cotton, as it is typically one of the most chemical dependent crops. Non-organic cotton uses ten percent of all agricultural chemicals and 25% of insecticides on three percent of farm land.

One of the major forces helping the organic cotton industry is The Sustainable Cotton Project (SCP). The SCP focuses on the production and use of cotton, one of the most widely grown and chemical-intensive crops in the world. The Sustainable Cotton Project’s grower programs help move farmers through the changeover from chemically-dependent to more biological sound approaches. Composted manures and cover crops replace synthetic fertilizers; innovative weeding strategies are used instead of herbicides; beneficial insects and trap crops control insect pests; and alternatives to toxic defoliants prepare plants for harvest. Olive & Myrtle features beautifully designed organic cotton bedding and organic cotton bath towels by Loop Organic.
