I wonder if people have actually heard of eco-friendly alcohol. If not, then just thought I should inform you that such a thing exists. An environmentally friendly product like the eco-friendly vodka from 360 Vodka can be a great addition to an eco-friendly corporate gift basket!
Here is why this eco-friendly vodka is such a great compliment for an eco-friendly corporate gift basket:
1) 100% post-consumer waste paper, processed chlorine free is used for the labels and bottle necks’ hang tag.
2) The glass bottle is made with 85% recycled glass.
3) The tag that hangs from the neck doubles as a pre-paid envelope. 360 Vodka donates $1.00 to various environmental causes for every tag returned.
FYI: You can also show your support for healing Mother Earth at your next corporate event with organic wines!

Two years from now, shopping in LA is going to undergo a big change. Starting July 1, 2010, plastic shopping bags will be banned from stores, leaving customers to pay twenty-five cents for a paper variety or better, bring reusable bags from home. The city expects that the change will greatly reduce clean-up costs for litter in the town’s rivers; plastic bags make up a huge portion of marine debris. San Francisco, leading the green way as usual, already passed and implemented ban.
No doubt you’ve heard about guerrilla warfare, or guerrilla marketing, but guerrilla gardening? Yes, there is such a thing! What started as one man’s gardening efforts has evolved into an elaborate website and community: Guerilla Gardening.org. As the site so dramatically describes, “There is neglected orphaned land all over the place. Pockets of resistance have broken out in some areas as guerrilla gardeners fight back to reclaim this precious resource and cultivate it”. Basically, these “troops” meet at night and cultivate unused parts of cities to make them “a bit more colorful” or even “live off vegetables grown illicitly in road side verges”. Pretty crazy environmental trend, huh? Maybe one day teenagers will be sneaking out at night to work on their gardens! However, if you prefer to spend your night hours asleep (or are reluctant to eat vegetables grown in highway ditches…) you could always make a donation. Another environmentally friendly promotion along the same lines is Green Graffiti; Brooklyn artist Edina Tokodi is rapidly rising to fame for her wonderful moss creations, featured below. 
If you’re interested in protecting the environment, then you’ve probably heard a lot about the horrors of plastic and plastic bags. However, you may have not heard of an upcoming solution: Plantic. Plantic is a starch-based, eco-friendly material that is currently being developed out of Australia. Plantic is not only made from renewable resources and biodegradable, but it also fully dissolves in water….you can even eat it if you really want to! Currently plantic is being used for various types of food crates (like Nestle’s latest Dairy Box chocolate range ) and more applications will probably emerge soon (such as plantic instead of plastic bags). Keep looking for more Plantic news, and in the mean while, avoid plastic.
