Golf has become even greener with the introduction of the first eco-friendly golf tees. Made from corn, these tees look just like the traditional wooden tees. However, these Eco-Golf tees biodegrade three times faster than wood tees in an active, organic environment. Not only do they biodegrade faster, but they average 9.65 drives of the tee…twice a wooden tee’s life span of 4.21 drives.
So save the woods for the hazards and go out and buy Eco-Golf’s tees.

The masterminds at Mastercard have come out with the GreenPay credit card.
Designed to help fight global warming, the GreenPay card offers users carbon emission offsets instead of the traditional mileage or purchasing points. With each dollar you spend on things like gas for your car, GreenPay will offset 10 lbs. of CO2 released into the atmosphere. For all other purchases, they will offset 5lbs of CO2.
So go ahead, spend some of your green and be safe in the knowledge that even if you aren’t putting green back in your pocket you’ll be putting some back into the planet. Visit www.greenpay.com to sign up!

Americans seem to be packing on a lot of extra weight and not all of it is coming from fast food and soda. According to the Clean Air Council, the average American receives 41 pounds of junk mail per year and 44% of it goes into a landfill unopened. Considering that 100 million trees are cut down every year to produce this junk, that’s a lot of waste. So, do you want to know how to shed these unwanted lbs. and make a difference in the lives of trees across the country?
Greendimes is a company dedicated to providing junk mail eradication services. The company sells a "Junk Mail Reduction Kit" for a one-time fee of $15 that includes automatic removal from a number of existing direct mailing databases and monitoring of future lists. Best of all, they also plant 10 trees per registrant.
