Daily Greenz #82

Eco-friendly giant Danny Seo has been making a big
splash with his Simply Green books, which cover everything from creating a
greener home to throwing festive parties that are sensitive to the environment and your wallet. His focus is, as his titles indicate,
simplicity, and his new 2008 “Do Just One Thing” calendar runs along the same
theme of simple actions you can take on a daily basis to make your life a
little greener this year. His 366 eco-tips
(leap year!) are clever and inexpensive, such as recycling the black tape from
your old videotapes as gift-wrapping ribbon or unplugging your cell phone
charger when it’s not in use. His last
tip even tells you how to recycle the whole calendar, so following all his tips
will ensure that the calendar pays for itself. Prop his calendar on your desk for $19.99 at www.amazon.com and recycle his tips by
sharing them with your coworkers.

Even elephants are now getting in on the green scene. These mammoth creatures play a central role in the sustainable cycle of creating all natural paper. And when I say all natural, I mean that literally. The Great Elephant Poo Poo Paper Company has hit upon the ingenious idea of taking elephant dung (replete with fibrous material) and employing local artisans to handcraft it into paper prod
ucts, such as stationary, journals, notebooks, and cards. Because they use an old, local technique of drying and washing the dung before processing it, the paper is completely scent-free. Best of all, a percentage of the profits goes right into the elephants welfare and conservation programs, ensuring that they are well-fed and healthy. And that is nothing to pooh-pooh about.
