I Am Not A Paper Cup

I have to add this “I am not a paper cup” onto my wish list… it looks just like the paper cup you get at cafes, but it’s not a paper cup! It is 100% reusable, made with porcelain, it’s microwave-safe – oh how very eco-friendly! Now that I’ve been going into office, I buy coffee outside, and I have been thinking to get my own to-go mug to save money and be green, and this might be a perfect solution.

Good for holiday gifts, too, it’s coming up very soon…

Night Owl Paper Goods

I picked up my first Night Owl Paper Goods wooden card. I love that it’s on wood, has very nice texture, but I wouldn’t love it if it wasn’t eco-friendly! It’s made from eco-friendly sustainably harvested yellow birch.

My card — it’s decorated in my office area.

They have a lot more pretty cards:

and beautiful save the date cards, cute and whimsical ones… click here for all the eco-friendly wooden cards.

They also carry a blank one! I wonder if I can print on this, that would be an original customized wooden card! It says you can write with a pen, pencil or marker… so you can draw your own art for sure.

They have eco-friendly wooden journals and jotters lines and this one is my favorite. The cover is letterpressed, the button is from the sustainably harvested wood, and it’s made out of 100% post-consumer recycled paper. So cute!

They also carry business card size holiday gift cards that are so cute, too!

They have more fun paper goods, too, look around their website from here.

Greenwich Letterpress

The Greenwich Letterpress in the Greenwich Village is a cute letterpress shop. Not only they have some great letterpress cards and stationaries, but also they are environmentally friendly – their products are printed by using 100% wind energy!

Earth Day

It’s Earth Day today. I’ve been seeing lots of eco-goods and going green threads here and there. I think it’s really important to think green nowadays for our planet earth. I recycle and I try being as eco-friendly as possible myself.

Who knew “Americans alone toss out about 300 million tires every year”?! That is a lot! These rubber flower pots and totes made with recycled tires from DWR are awesome – I hope all those tires get recycled like this.
