New Belgium Brewing Company is the greatest. I just can't decide which one I need to drink more of... Fat Tire? Mothership Wit? Skinny Dip? 2 Below? 1554? All I keep saying is more please :)
Oh, and they are employee owned and run on wind power in good ole Forth Collins, CO. Pretty tasty if you ask me.

Mostly I think its too crowded and overuses plastic (especially in terms of produce). However, the prices are decent, it has a handful of things I love, and is walking distance from me. Otherwise I'd be anti...

big and beautiful
I have been hooked on this biggin' for a few years now. It can't be bought everywhere, though; my only complaint.

paper from paper, that makes a difference!
Made from 100% recycled paper. 80% post consumer content. Whitened without chlorine bleach. Made by Royal Paper in Arizona (wish factory was closer). Nuff said.

nice and good
I have been definitely been drinking more water since the purchase. I didn't necessarily notice a better tasting water right off the bat, but now when I use my nalgene bottles I don't like the taste as much. Its hard to know which one is more green, but if I helps me to drink more water, then I am all for it.

I read about this in Outside Magazine. It sounded really spectacular, but when it arrived it didn't work for very long. The super glue job busted, but I am currently attempting to reglue it. Great idea, bad construction. I hope to log in later to change my overall rating. I really want it to work well.

I want more...
My students use portable CD players and a digital camera on a daily basis, thus I use a battery charger at work everyday. It is great, and it charges in 1 hour. The charger I just purchased for home (4 hour charge) is neat too. It even came with a car charger (handy for car camping and road trips). I only wish you didn't have to charge the batteries continuously. It seems as though they lose their charge if you don't use them immediately after charging. This causes me to keep batteries in the charger at most times, which seems wasteful. Less wasteful than disposable, but unnecessary nonetheless.

happy lips
I buy these chapsticks by the handful... I am always interested in new brands, but then am dissappointed. I am going to try and stay loyal, that way I'll waste less.

seems wasteful...
I think its great that the pencils are made from 100% recycled newspaper, but they should have stopped there. It doesn't seem very "green" to store each individual pencil in its own plastic tubing in order to keep the artifical smell strong. Plain is better...

My local Safeway (Healdsburg, CA) carried this item for a few months, then stopped. It was absolutely the ONLY toilet paper they carried that could be called sustainable. I've just sent them an email to ask why... more »

You know, I recentely ran into a similar problem the other day. I went to my local Vons (where I bought this products for many, many month) the other day and they stopped carrying it. I was so mad. I was totally torn... more »

Hi Kelly, Here's an interesting P.S. for you on this item. I got to thinking, and compared a roll of the paper from Safeway and a roll from Trader Joe's. The imprint pattern matches, exactly. So what i think... more »
