  • Studio® 300TC Bamboo Sheet Set from JCPenny's Simple Green Collection - Enjoy a cool and comfortable night's sleep with these exceptionally breathable sheets. With a silky soft feel and a lustrous finish, bamboo fibers help ensure a lasting color vibrancy no matter how many times you wash them. Bamboo fibers promote outstanding colorfastness, and are an environmentally friendly renewable natural resource. These wonderfully luxurious sheets will help you get a good night's sleep all winter long.
  • Dansk® Café Blanc Urban PicnicTM Serving Pieces - This set includes a divided plate, bowl, salt & pepper shakers, and a bud vase. The serving tray is crafted of renewable bamboo and the dinnerware is crafted of microwave and dishwasher safe porcelain.
  • Palm Leaf Dinnerware - This dinnerware is natural, renewable and made with a biodegradable raw material. The dinnerware is environmentally friendly, as each piece is created with naturally discarded sheaths of the leaves of the Adaka palm tree. It is perfect for the person who doesn't want to do the dishes, but who also is environmentally minded and wants elegant dinnerware. Each piece is leak proof and will withstand hot and cold temperature without getting soggy or flimsy. The plates can be reused several times if hand washed and dried well. This is a perfect, environmentally friendly replacement for paper plates and plastic silverware.
  • Lindsay Olives Holiday Wreath - For less than the price of a tank of gas, holiday gift giving and 'giving back' go hand-in-hand with Lindsay Olives wreath of fresh olive, bay and eucalyptus branches. This year proceeds benefit the Meals On Wheels Association of America (MOWAA), America's oldest and largest national organization representing those programs that provide meals to people in need, who have recently been hard hit by soaring gas and food prices. Each wreath is handmade when ordered to make it as fresh and long-lasting as possible.
  • Kill A Watt Electricity Power Meter - The Kill A Watt electricity power monitor is an economical and simple tool to assess the efficiency of your electric appliances. Just plug any 115 Volt AC (maximum 15 Amp) electric appliance into the meter and the large LCD display shows the power consumption of the appliance by killowatt-hours. It can calculate the electricity cost of the appliance by the day, week, month, or year. If your electric bills are high, the Kill A Watt power meter can discover which electric appliances are consuming too much power.
