Earth Day LIVE GIVEAWAY!

*THIS GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED*

Keeping with the theme of Health and Body, I have some goodies from the new Juicy Juice Brain Development and Immunity juices. And since it's also pretty Earth-friendly, we're doing a giveaway in honor of Earth Day!

Picture 1060

Here's what you get:
-A reusable tote (folded up into a little pouch so you can carry it everywhere!)
-A BPA-free reusable water bottle
-A Juicy Juice growth chart
-Two coloring and activity books
-Two mini packs of crayons (not pictured)
-Two mini decks of cards
-Two coupons for $1.00 off of the new Juicy Juice Brain Development or Immunity juices

Check out Juicy Juice to learn more about these great new juices!

Now for the giveaway! The rules are simple. The 422nd comment (4/22 for Earth Day) will win the package. (I hope we can get there.) Your comment must include something about being green, taking care of the earth, or about the new Juicy Juice juices (How many times can I say juice?) and you can't post twice in a row. Lastly, you must be in the US since I am sending it myself. (Sorry everyone, blame outrageous postal service costs.)

Ready...Set...Go!

I use reusable shopping bags and the store.

Eileen said...

I don't buy water bottles, but instead use a reusable bottle that I refill from my tap. (which is purified)

Shannon said...

I walk to the store on sunny days. It saves on gas and gives me a work out at the same time.

itsahumanzoo said...

@Eileen - I started doing that too. As a bonus, you don't have to pay the CRV every time!

@Shannon - I love that you walk to the store! I used to do that because we only had one car, but I've gotten lazy. I do try to walk as much as I can though.

JeansandTs said...

We have just finished a new sorting station in the laundry room for trash. It has 4 bins and three of them are recycled!

itsahumanzoo said...

@JeansandTs - Do you live in a state where you can return recyclables for cash? That's a great green bonus!

Beth said...

We recycle papers, aluminum, and plastic

itsahumanzoo said...

@Beth - That's great! When I see people throwing their recyclables into the garbage I'm kind of sad. It's so easy to recycle, and most places here have separate receptacles for trash and recycling.

always_317537 said...

Can the products be used after the Best If Used By Date?

Products within shelf life have the best quality and freshness. Products beyond the Best If Used By Date on the container would not be a health hazard, but we would not recommend using them since they would not be of the highest quality. The Best If Used By Date can be found in these places: • Plastic Bottles: Top of the bottle cap • Juice Boxes: Top of the box • Non-Frozen Concentrate Can: Bottom of the can

mom2boys said...

Has anyone tried the Soapnuts natural laundry detergent? I heard it was great and a green product.

always_317537 said...

What does NESTLÉ think about the American Pediatrics Association article on juice consumption?

We agree that 100% fruit juice can be a healthy part of child’s diet because it can be an excellent source of Vitamin C and potassium. 100% juices can also contain antioxidants that reduce the risk of heart disease and cancer. NESTLÉ believes that all food and beverages should be consumed in moderation and that fruit juice should not be used as a replacement for milk or whole fruit.

mom2boys said...

I can't wait to try the new Juicy Juice and the apple banana flavor!

always_317537 said...
