December 30th, 2009

Check out Urban Sherp’s review of the Eco-Me home cleaning kit – keep your resolution to go green for the new year!

What: Eco-Me Natural Home Cleaning Kit

Where: Natural Luxe – on sale for $23.40 & get an additional 15% off with coupon code Sherp15 through December 31st.

Why We Love It: Our New Year’s resolution this year? To give up all of the toxic cleaners lingering under our sink. Cleaners that are considered hazardous waste when we throw them away, but that we previously used to wipe down our countertops and clean our sinks…. Thankfully Eco-Me has come to the rescue to help us rid our homes of these toxins with their easy to use starter kit and makes the task much less daunting.

The Eco-Me Natural Home Cleaning Kit comes complete with all the tools you need to make your own chemical free All-Purpose Spray Cleaner (for bath & kitchen), Wood Polish Spray (for wood furniture, cabinets & floors) and Scrub Cleanser (for bathtubs, tiles, sinks & toilets). All you need to do is follow the simple instructions on the back of each bottle and add some baking soda and vinegar. It also includes a bottle Eco-Me’s 100% natural mix of essential oils – tea tree, lavender, lemongrass and rosemary – for a sweet smelling, all-natural clean.

So now you’re cleaning routine will be good for the planet, good for you and your family (no more toxic fumes in the home), good for your wallet and gives back; Eco-Me donates up to 10% of sales back to charitable organizations such as The Breast Cancer Fund, the National Resources Defense Council and NEADS.

Welcome to the new Green Gingerbread House

December 8th, 2009

The new Ritz-Carlton in Charlotte NC has built the first ever all organic gingerbread house!

The edible mansion is a huge 10 feet high by 14 feet wide, features Tudor style architecture, and is built of all-organic culinary components. Design highlights include LED lights and a green “vegetated” moss roof inspired by the eco-minded roof of The Ritz-Carlton, Charlotte itself.

Jonathan Gellman of Skyward Builders used efficient framing practices, recycled nails, Forest Stewardship Council (FSC)-certified lumber and OSB panels obtained from within a 500-mile radius of the hotel.
