MAPLEWOOD, N.J. - November 29, 2007 "“ This holiday season, give the gift that keeps on giving "“ back to the environment. Newly launched Greensender.com offers gift boxes that help people make simple green practices part of their everyday lives.
Each Greensender box contains a premium reusable water bottle, a reusable organic cotton grocery bag, an energy-efficient CFL light bulb and an organic cotton t-shirt. These environmentally-friendly items were specially selected for their ease of use and premium quality and style. A portion of the profits from every Greensender.com purchase is donated to leading environmental organizations.
According to the Consumer Recycling Institute and EnergyStar, Americans use 100 billion plastic bags and 30 billion plastic water bottles every year. By eliminating plastic water bottle and plastic bag usage, over fourteen million barrels of oil would be saved annually. And if every American home were to switch just two incandescent bulbs for energy-efficient CFL light bulbs, we would collectively prevent 180 billion pounds of greenhouse gas emissions from entering the atmosphere over the life of those bulbs. Additionally, each home would save about sixty or more dollars in electricity costs over the life of the bulbs.
"Many of us would like to lead a more environmentally-friendly lifestyle but don't know how to get started," said Mike Aaron, President of Greensender. "Greensender makes it easy to take those first steps to fulfilling our personal environmental responsibilities. Greensender boxes truly are a perfect gift for nearly every person and every occasion. What better way to say you care - about someone and about this planet we share."
Greensender boxes can be purchased online at www.greensender.com. Greensender also offers custom solutions for corporate and event gifting. Gift boxes ordered by December 16 will arrive in time for Christmas. For further information, visit www.greensender.com or contact Greensender at customerservice@greensender.com or 973-821-4213.
Greensender products exist to help close the chasm between people's good intentions to begin living a greener lifestyle and the current absence of physical action. Each Greensender box includes a few useful, premium items that make adopting some simple green practices easy. Included in each box is a reusable aluminum water bottle, a reusable organic cotton grocery bag, a cfl light bulb and an organic cotton t-shirt; as well as a personalized message from the sender. Using these items isn't the only thing we need to do but it's a start. So, let's get started!
