Nest Bedding Organic Mattresses : Sleep Green

Are you shopping for a new bed or mattress and want to go greener? I just found out about NestBedding.com
who offers value priced organic mattresses.  Compare their crib mattress $299, twin $499, full size $529 and queen $599 to those "other green mattress places" that want to charge you $1000-$2000 for an all natural mattress.

First off, Nest Bedding and Mattresses is an organic and natural bedding store featuring all Made in America products. Gotta love that, you are supporting American. 

Secondly, they have the best value-priced, made in America, green and natural mattresses and bedding.

Did I mention they can ship most of the mattresses anywhere in the US for flat fees?  So don't let their location (California) worry you.

Are you picky about your mattress? No worries!  There's something called the Build-A-Nest product, that allows consumers to build their own mattress from components they supply.

I think I'm off to check out the firm nest bedding, that seems to be the top eco friendly choice!

Upcycle Gallon Water Bottles into Pretty Gift Baskets!

My husband and I buy Crystal Geyser spring water in one gallon plastic jugs; we go through a lot of them and I have been putting the old containers into the recycle bin. After recently watching two informative documentaries about plastics "Bag It" and "Plastic Planet" on NetFlix, I realized that "recycling" plastic may not be the best way to recirculate plastics, many companies do not what to reuse plastic and prefer manufacturing a new, "clean" product, thus many of our plastics get shipped overseas for child labor sweat shops to rummage through and reuse. It takes plastics hundreds of years to disintegrate! Now, I am inspired to UPCYCLE plastics as much as possible and transform them into something functional and beautiful.

In the picture above, it shows the lovely little gift baskets that I made out of recycled Crystal Geyser one gallon water bottles. All you need to make these is: a one gallon plastic bottle (similar to the one I used), a box cutter, some wrapping paper with a pretty design on it, scissors, and packaging tape. Cut the bottle in half with the box cutter creating a cup-like bowl, this will be your basket; then simply wrap the original base of the bottle like you would wrap a gift and secure all paper edges with packaging tape. Vwa La! You have a gorgeous, little gift basket that you can fill with all sorts of goodies for birthdays and holidays!

Stay tuned, I will soon be posting another "how-to" about an upcycling project that you can create with the leftover, funnel-like topper from this water gallon container!

Solar PV Monitoring - Green Energy

Logic Energy is the leader in solar PV monitoring.

Today I read very interesting statistics about solar PV monitoring .  Essentially this is nothing more than proper monitoring of your sustainable energy source, but it can be just as important as the energy itself.

Truth is many of us believe in going greener with wind, solar energy, or sustainable energy sources is the first key to a greener life, eco friendly world and sustainable future, but often consider the next step towards successful and responsible green efforts is to have that energy monitored.

Why do this?

Helpful monitoring of your sustainable (solar, wind, green) energy use can help the environment and your wallet!

Quite simply to make sure the equipment and source you have converted to is truly working for you, your wallet, and not malfunctioning.  To make sure you get the maximum return rate on your energy investment,  Logic Energy has procedures in place where they are able to live-monitor your devices, providing you with up to minute results 24/7 for a piece of mind! 

These are available to fit your needs, with kits to fit your budget so that you may be privy to the remote monitoring statistics. As you can see by the graph above, it's truly important to have your green energy monitored for maximum benefits.  These remote monitoring services are ingenious and anyone who is using green energy should check them out.

Please share with anyone you know that may use green energy for residential or commercial use, or consider doing this if you upgrade to a greener energy solution yourself!
