This exchange is for 'green' products--you know, things that are environmentally friendly. Things made from recycled products, things that you can reuse instead of throwing them away, things that are packaged in environmentally friendly packaging. Some ideas are: reusuable shopping bags, aluminum/plastic water bottles (plastics that can be washed & reused), paper products made from recycled products, I even saw cute bags/notebooks etc. made from recycled candy wrappers!

Minimum price for these items is $15. (any extras/shipping not included in the minimum)

Sign-ups will go until June 10th. Names will go out June 11. Mail by date is June 19th.

If you want to join in, PM me:
Name
Address
e-mail address
Are you willing to elf, if necessary?
are you willing to send internationally, if needed (MUST be by air)?
any allergies?
how many exchanges?

:thumbsup2 (I used this one because it's green!) :lmao:

Too bad. I am out of town until the 13th and then will be too busy at home to go shopping and mail in time.

No problem, Nancy. And I do have more ideas. I just went to the supermarket and found even more green products. Reynolds Wrap has a 100% recycled aluminum foil, Ziploc has a line of sandwich bags & plastic wrap that are environmentally friendly & I found lots of 'green' cleaning products.

While I agree that the "more the merrier", as the host of this exchange, I'm kind of glad it's kind of small. Easier for me to keep track of everyone! :rotfl:
