Are you feeling guilty about the trees that were cut down in order to create the books sitting on your bookshelf? For your donation of just $5, ECO LIBRIS will plant five trees in a developing country. You'll help the environment and the country's local economy. Want to learn more about Eco Libris, visit their WEBSITE or read more about their vision for the future here: "Books are everywhere, just look around: on bookshelves at home, in college students' backpacks, in the mail from the book club or in that pile in your room right now. For some people they’re for education, for others they’re an entertaining escapade and for some, reading is really a passion. Eco-Libris is for everyone. It is a green business that enables people to do something reasonable, affordable yet with an impact: plant one tree for every book they read. We believe that taking responsibility for the environmental costs of the books we read is only natural.

To get involved the steps are simple. Buy a share or buy a sphere. One share costs $30 and one simple, unfurnished sphere costs $2,500. Fully furnished spheres are also available at a higher price tag. Once Our Planet Retreats has raised $55,000, the first retreat will start paying back dividends and they’ll start opening additional eco-resorts. These spheres are being setup in some of the most beautiful places on the planet. Each eco-resort will have 12 spheres — so essentially, you’ll be buying in to own a piece of that resort. If you choose to buy a sphere, you’ll have exclusive access to it for 70% of the year. Imagine that? A great (small) second home for only $2,500 in some beautiful location! What a deal! Check out more details on these spheres (which sleep 4 people) by clicking HERE. ____________________________________ This article brought to you by GROOVYGREEN.COM.

Well now they've really outdone themselves with a USDA CERTIFIED ORGANIC LINE of cosmetics and self tanners. Like Burt's Bees, not all their products in this line are 100% organic, but they do give you the courtesy of letting you know that. Take for example their liquid bronzer, although 100% Free of Harsh Chemicals, Synthetic Preservatives, Parabens, GMO's, Synthetic Colors and Fragrances, is only 84% Organic with ingredients such as jojoba seed oil, sunflower seed oil, avocado oil, and shea butter to moisturize the skin. Even still, compared to all the other self tanners on the market these days, that are not only expensive but chock full of things that are NOT GOOD FOR YOU OR YOUR COMPLEXION, this is an excellent quality bronzer at an average cost of just $10.95.

According to Laura, vinegar is an anti-bacterial that kills 99% of all bacteria, 82% of mold and 80% of germs and viruses. So what are you waiting for! Here's what you need to make enough to last you a couple of months: * 2 cups of water * 2 cups of baking soda * ½ cup of white distilled vinegar * 10-12 drops of essential oil (You can find these at your local healthfood store on or online. This all natural, toxic free cleaner can be used as a cleaning agent for bath tubs, toilets, sinks and anything else on which you would typically use an abrasive 'conventional' cleaner. According to the EPA, indoor pollution levels are typically higher then those outside your home, and traditional, chemical-filled cleaning products are contributors to this indoor pollution problem.
