I Am Crushing You! (pinch pinch)


Wall Mount Can Crusher

Okay, so maybe so didn't watch the Kids in the Hall and you didn't get the (pinch pinch) reference. Sorry. But this Wall Mounted Can Crusher will make light work of crushing your aluminum cans. That makes them a lot easier to recycle, whether you donate them to a local school, turn them in for cash, or place them in a recycle bin, those cans will take up a lot less space if you are crushing them.

Also works to take out a little frustration at the end of the day.

"I am crushing you!"

Compost in Your Kitchen


Odor Free Compost Caddy

Didn't think you could compost indoors? This heavy duty plastic Compost Caddy includes a charcoal filter to keep it odor free. It can hold up to 2.5 gallons of compost and each filter will last up to 4 months. This caddy is perfect for keeping compost close by for use on your indoor plants.

Using your uncooked vegetable scraps keeps trash out of the landfill and puts it back into your plants, so you don't have to buy expensive fertilizer. Sounds like a win-win to me!

Great for people with small yards or apartments.

Hemp - It's Great in the Bathroom


Hemp Showe Curtain

No, not like that! The Hemp Shower Curtain is an eco-friendly alternative. Hemp has a natural resistance to mildew (it's not mildew proof).  It can be machine washed and will resist leaking through when it gets wet. This one is hand-crafted here in the USA of extremely strong, durable and beautiful Romanian hemp fabric, with sturdy, rustproof nickel plated brass grommets.

You don't need that nasty plastic liner, it's washable, it lasts a long time, plus you're keeping plastic out of the landfill. Sounds like a plan to me!

Earth Day is April 22.
