"Are you good to go" - Review and Giveaway


If you really think about all the trash that results from grabbing to go food...
We are all really making a HUGE impact on the landfills!
I am not even counting the containers/bags...
I am just talking about the to-go utensils.

Think about it...
You are out of town for work.
Maybe you do not want to go out to eat every meal, so you grab something and bring it back to your hotel room. There you go... To-Go Utensils.
You grab something to take back to the office... To-Go Utensils...
I am not going to go on and on, because we ALL know what I am talking about.

BUT, I do want to tell you a CUTE way to help eliminate your part of the problem.
Have you heard of Green Ostrich?
They have several great green gifts that are sure to be a hit with everyone on your list!

Quick side note...
I wanted to know why they picked an Ostrich...

Education right here : (from their site)
Why did we pick an ostrich? The ostrich is one of the most Earth-friendly animals in the world. They compare favorably with cattle, poultry, and pigs, because they require less feed and less land, and they reproduce quickly. Censky, Annalyn R. "Ostrich - The Other ‘Green Meat?" Cronkitezine Fall 2007. The Walter Cronkite School of Journalism & Mass Communication. Ostriches are durable; true dinosaurs, they have roamed this planet for over 120 million years. They typically live at least 40 years in the wild, and they are known to live as long as 70 years in captivity. Ostriches are also memorable; frankly, they are funny-looking. That was enough for us. We offer Earth-friendly, durable, memorable products that replace common disposable products. So, our products and an ostrich have a lot in common.

Anyways, on with the company.
Green Ostrich has lots and lots of "Green Gifts."
I mean, from candles to journals... they even have toys!!!
But, one really neat thing, well... to me anyways!
Was the reusable To-Go Ware Bamboo Utensil Set that I was able to review!

This set comes with :
Fork, Spoon, Knife and Chopsticks!
Okay, I thought it was great with the first basic utensils...
But adding the Chopsticks just made it a little bit better!
Yes, it is made out of bamboo...
Nice and smooth...
Super Sturdy!
Now wait...
Get this...
They come in recycled case for carrying it!
It even has a hook (looks like a key chain) on it so that it will not get lost amongst all your other things. You know, in case you throw it in your purse, briefcase, luggage.

Did I mention it is DISHWASHER SAFE?!
I really like this...

Want to know why it is made out of bamboo?
Bamboo is a grass, meaning it grows fast!
Also, (I did not know this) it doesn't need replanting, because it will grow from the original shoot!
It doesn't stain easily and it looks cute.
I mean, really...
Look at it!

Who needs this?
YOU DO!
Whether you are getting it for you or a loved one!

Uses:
School kids, taking lunch to school.
Business traveler for out of town trips.
Worker who eats at work.
I can go on and on...

But I KNOW....
You want to get to the good stuff.

First of all:
They are running a special where you can save on 3 sets of utensils!!!

Second of all :
If you enter the code "BEANS" during checkout, you will get 5% off your purchase!
(This code expires Jan. 31, 2011)

Now, on to a giveaway!!!!
One lucky winner will win the exact same Bamboo Set as I did!

  1. The bamboo utensils look really neat, and "Dishwasher Safe" is one of my favorite phrases in the English language. :)

    I'm also intrigued by the EcoStapler, because I'm always either running out of staples or finding loose ones on the floor (often with my bare feet).

    Thanks for the chance to win!

  14. I like the Ecolunch Set as well. I love the idea of bamboo utensils. I eat lumch at work everyday, but I frequently use the plastic utensils in the cafeteria. This is a much better idea.
