Today: An itty, bitty Earth Day giveaway.

[tweetmeme source=”elizabethev” only_single=false] Unless you’re staying up past my bedtime, you’re likely reading this tomorrow… on Earth Day.  If you’re reading this on Thursday, congratulations you sneaky devil, you!  You get an extra day to enter my teeny, tiny Earth Day giveaway, which is all about making teeny tiny changes that will make our planet a happier, healthier place to read my rambling blog.  And, um… live.

Well, well, well... what have we heeeere?

One of you precious Earthlings will receive two items I’ve picked up recently in my quest to live more greenly:

Peace baggies be with you.
We’re lucky to live in a building that went green before it was the new black.  All common areas are cleaned exclusively with non-toxic, environmentally friendly products.  Switching your household cleaning products is an easy change, but it’s one that can have a dramatic impact.  Similarly, Rume bags make a great replacement for plastic baggies.  They’re water resistant, food safe, and dishwasher safe.  More importantly Also, they’re waaaay cuter than plastic bags.  A few more small changes I love:
  1. Bring your silverware to work, skip the plastics
  2. Eat outside
  3. Buy less, share more (hit up the library rather than Amazon, and a clothing swap rather than the Gap)

So here’s the deal.  To enter this teeny, tiny, itty, bitty giveaway, please share one little change you’re making this Earth Day.  You can earn extra entries by “liking” On Tap for Today on Facebook, or tweeting about this giveaway (@ElizabethEv is hosting an itty, bitty Earth Day giveaway: http://wp.me/pySBS-ZC).  Please be sure to leave separate entries for each entry.

P.S. For the record, there’s nothing to disclose here.  I bought these goodies with Clark’s my own allowance.

I will pick a winner at random on Saturday evening.

Also On Tap for Today:

What little change are you making this Earth Day?

    I’m one of the sneaky devils reading this on Thursday and entering because I am in another time zone here in the midwest!

    I am going to buy reusable bags for produce soon. I already use my reusable bags for groceries every time I go to the store, so this little change won’t be hard to remember to do and it will save all of that plastic!

      We bought these reusable produce bags a couple years ago and love them. We also DIY’d some new ones – they’re great!

        Those are great! I picked up a similar set at Whole Foods a few weeks ago… now I just need to remember to stash them with my reusable shopping bags and acutally… use them. 🙂

    I am going to have to start taking lunch to work (I currently work from home) so I’m buying bamboo silverware set that is both green and will allow me to avoid all the plastic utensils.

    Great giveaway! I started using nice cloth napkins on a daily basis instead of paper. It’s more washing each week, but saves money and trees.

    I don’t even know how I ended up here, but I thought this post was great. I do not know who you are but definitely you’re going to a famous blogger if you are not already 😉 Cheers!

    i received a fabulous package in the mail yesterday. Thank you so very much for the giveaway – your extras were such a pleasant surprise. My hubby is a teacher, so we already love the book. What a great “real job” you have!
