The Earth Machine Compost Bin Giveaway – CLOSED

July 13, 2009 · Filed Under Contests
Earth Machine Composter

The Earth Machine Compost bin one of the leading compost bins on the market. This compost bin was created by Norseman Plastic Environment Products in order to promote home composting throughout our country. They are carried by almost every major company carrying compost bins on the market and through many local municipalities throughout the country. Over 3,500 municipalities having composting programs that carry the Earth Machine which have distributed over 2.5 million. Some of the major features of the Earth Machine composter are:

  • Twist-locking pest-resistant lid
  • Ten year warranty
  • Locking harvesting door
  • Side ventilation

I bought an Earth Machine composting bin from my local municipality when I moved to my new home.  This was one of the best investments I could have made.  The entire compost bin is made of strong plastic that feels like it will last.  It also takes every measure to ensure that pests will not enter into your compost by having a locking door and tight sealing lid.  Aesthetically it is not an eye sore like some compost bins can be and fits in almost any part of your yard.  At a diameter and height of 33″ , it is large enough to hold a large amount of waste products without having to empty.

Norseman Plastics was generous enough to give the readers of Pays to Live Green an opportunity to win The Earth Machine Compost Bin ($100 value).

Reynolds 100% Recycled Aluminum Foil

May 20, 2009 · Filed Under Contests, Recycling
Reynolds Recycled Aluminum

To make our kitchens a little more “green” this Earth day, Reynolds Consumer Products introduced their 100% Recycled Aluminum Wrap.  It is essential that we recycling aluminum should be our top priority because of just how wasteful it is to produce virgin aluminum.  That’s why Reynolds deciding to unveil a new line of aluminum wraps made exclusively out of recycled materials is a great step for our environment.

Just because this aluminum foil is made from recycled materials, doesn’t mean that the quality has degraded any.  Reynolds has made this product just as strong and durable as their traditional foil.  I was fortune enough to try some of this foil and can attest to the fact that is has the same quality as its non-recycled counterpart.  To make this product even more environmentally friendly is that packaging is made from 100% recovered paper.

Normally when a company makes a more environmentally friendly version of their product by using recycled materials, there is usually a higher price tag to come along with it.  Reynolds made sure to keep the cost down and charge approximately the same price you would pay for a normal aluminum foil: $2.99 for 50 sq. ft. box.  Let’s hope that recycled aluminum becomes popular and will take over store shelves.  Also be sure to check out a $.50 coupon they are offering.

“Go Silver, Live Green”

Reynolds is also hosting a contest called Go Silver, Live Green to help make our lives more “green” by giving away a variety of prizes including eco-friendly kitchen appliances, Grocery Cash certificates, Reynolds Foil from 100% Recycled Aluminum and more.  You can enter once every week for a chance to win a variety of green gifts, including a $250 grocery gift certificate on a weekly basis.  The contest ends at midnight on May 29, 2009.  At that time, a grand prize winner will be selected that includes an energy efficient dishwasher and refrigerator as well as 6 months of free groceries.  Be sure to sign up for the contest as it is ending soon.

All of their products are made from essential plant oils that are just as effective the harmful chemical counterparts. If you don’t want to make your products and want to ensure that you are not exposed to unnecessary toxins, this is the way to go.

It contains a patented technology combines plant oils that target and block a key neurotransmitter receptor site found only in invertebrates.
