Welcome to the 2014 Relish Reusable Giveaway Hop hosted by Measuring Flower and Slightly Steady! I have teamed up with our hosts and a bunch of other amazing bloggers to bring you a variety of eco-friendly, reusable prizes each worth at least $50! So after you enter my giveaway below, be sure to "hop" on to the next blog to enter their giveaway, as well. You can find a list with links to all the participating blogs towards the bottom of this post.
Also, don't forget to check out the event's grand prize! It's an incredible $300 gift card to MightyNest! MightyNest is a great go-to source for eco-friendly, healthful products for your home and garden. One neat thing about MightyNest is how they're giving back by doing a fundraiser known as MightyNest for Schools. The MightyNest for Schools program generously supports the school of your choice when you buy any of their high-quality, eco-friendly, healthy gear, by donating 15% of your purchase. MightyNest further engages your school community in healthy living with great tips, challenges, and pledges. For more info, visit MightyNest for Schools.
You know, part of green living is making the most of what you have and/or purchasing reusable products to replace the countless disposables our society has become accustomed to. Things like facial tissue, paper towels, paper plates, paper napkins. Now, according to the commercials, we're even supposed to ditch the hand towels in our bathrooms and replace them with disposable hand towels which are thrown away after each use. I don't know about you, but I easily wash my hands 0-15 times a day. Can you imagine how much waste it would produce if I threw away my towel each time. No thank you. I'm a hanky, rag, cloth napkin kind of grandma (old fashioned, I know) whose stomach turns every time I see commercials promoting waste.
To help you in your quest for sustainability, I have a prize package for you that includes:
- A HankyBook -- Made in the USA from 100% certified organic cotton, the HankyBook is machine washable and dryer safe. No more toting tissues in your purse or diaper bag. Just toss a durable HankyBook in and you're ready for anything from runny noses to sloppy sweet potatoes.
- A cloth reusable bag -- Since the bag "advertises" my book, VINEGAR FRIDAYS, I thought it only proper to include two signed copies of the book as well (one for you and one to give away). In it are ways to continue your quest for sustainability and toxin-free living.
- A reusable water bottle and foldable water bag. Both are made of BPA-free plastic.
Enter to win this prize package with a purpose on the rafflecopter below. Easy entries. Winner must be in continental US and be 18 or over. Entries will be verified.

We're learning to compost. I'm using my love for gardening to help move our family to a 'greener' way of living. :) Thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteWonderful, Beck! Gardening is definitely greener. :-) Good luck!
DeleteWe only use reusable bags. We never take the plastic bags at the store.
ReplyDeleteYea, Kendra! It's so easy once you get used to it. Good luck!
DeleteWe use cloth diapers (which saves money AND the environment) and we use reusable bags at the grocery stores.
ReplyDeleteYea for cloth diapers! Good luck, Katie!

ReplyDeleteupstatemissy@gmail.com
These kind of changes are so simple once you get used to them, aren't they? We use rags, too, Melissa. Good luck!
DeleteI always recycle everything. Our community has a town wide recycle program. It has shown great success in keeping our town clean!
ReplyDeleteThat's amazing, Rebecca. Where do you live?
DeleteWhen I pack lunches and snacks we usually use Bentgo boxes which are great and have reusable silverware that snap in it. If not, we use reusable lunch bags with water bottles and sandwich bags that are reusable as well. I felt this was a great change for us to make because packing lunches can create a lot of waste!
ReplyDeleteThat's a huge thing, Stephanie. Good luck with the contest!
DeleteI use reusable containers for lunch, leftovers, etc. No plastic bags.
ReplyDeleteYea for no plastic bags! Good luck, Lora!
Deletewe recycle paper products
ReplyDeleteThat's a good start! Good luck with the giveaway.

ReplyDeleteYea, Dani! Good luck!
DeleteI hang my clothes on the line and we use family cloth
ReplyDeleteLove line drying! My husband won't go for the family cloth ... Good luck.
DeleteThis is a way of life & once you have tried to live this way it's so much easier to save on spending also ~ using glass water bottles & cloth bags instead of plastic for a few ♥
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely. People think it's so expensive, but it's awesome to be able to avoid several aisles in the grocery store because you don't buy any of the products there! Good luck!
DeleteWe compost, grow a lot of our own vegetables and a few fruits. We recycle and buy used items.
ReplyDeleteSounds like you're doing a great job, Cassie! Good luck!
DeleteI reuse items like plastic containers and baggies, I use reusable supplies for that time of the month, I try to buy in bulk to reduce packaging, I try to walk or carpool instead of driving the car, I buy as much organic food as possible to reduce pesticide and herbicide use, I try to buy local products to reduce fuel costs, and lots of other stuff - sometimes it's just little things but it all adds up!
ReplyDeleteThe little things do add up, Elizabeth. But it sounds like you're doing much more than most. Thank you for caring!
DeleteI'm trying to do more but for starters, we reuse everything we can. I use cloth diapers on my son and we take our reusable bags to the store.
ReplyDeleteReuse is so important. And cloth diapering rocks! Good luck, Tandi!
DeleteWe use recycle bags at the grocery store, and I reuse glass bottles for our water here at the house, than kyou
ReplyDeleteDoesn't everything taste better in glass, Dorothy? I love it!! Good luck.
DeleteHi! I recycle everything that I can. Luckily, the county I live in has a very good recycling program. I also don't buy any type of throw away cups, dishes, or utensils. I would love to win your book! Thank-you!!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Natalie! Good luck!
DeleteWe use reusable shopping bags instead of getting the plastic ones.

ReplyDeleteYea, Steph! Good luck!
DeleteWe use reusable bags for shopping and have attempted a garden this year. We'll see if the hot Texas sun lets anything grow productively!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the garden, Amanda! I'd love to see pictures if it's successful!
DeleteWe try to buy eco-friendly products, and always use cloth totes instead of plastic bags.
ReplyDeleteIt's a little more effort to go with the greener products, but it's so worth it, don't you think?
DeleteWe have a compost for kitchen waste, recycle everything that can be, buy more "real" food with less packaging. Re-use bags and boxes.
ReplyDeleteIt's all about re-thinking the way we've always done it, isn't it, Debby?
DeleteCloth diapers, recycling, using the back side of printer paper for something else, taking our own bags at the store, lunch boxes and containers instead of bags & baggies... We're pretty green in our choices.
ReplyDeleteYou certainly are! Go Shecki!
DeleteWe try to recycle, reuse or repurpose anytime we can. I learn new ways all the time from others online.
ReplyDeleteI wish I'd had more resources to learn greener living when my kids were little!
DeleteCloth diapering, recycling, sewing and re-purposing clothes, composting, and recently we switched to LED light bulbs instead of the CFL's so no mercury to be around or have to dispose of. :-)
ReplyDeleteme_juliet AT hotmail DOT com
Love LEDs as much as I hate CFLs!
Deletereusable bags for the grocery, recycling, used clothing, composting, garden, etc. :)
ReplyDeleteA lot of people don't realize how shopping for used clothing is actually a really good thing to do for the environment!
DeleteWe have a compost pile and grow a lot of our own fruits and veggies. I also can some of our produce
