Love This Planet

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

It’s that time of year again, when the Bloggy Giveaways are flying fast and furious. I can’t resist taking part and joining in the fun. And with the launch of my baby, 5 Minutes for Going Green, I figured how better to celebrate than to giveaway some of my favorite reusable bags?

Get Hip Get Green has some of my favorite reusables, because their sleek and boxy design means they are light weight and hold a ton. They have a few different designs, and I’m giving away a set of FIVE in the design of your choice. Cool, eh?

All you have to do is leave a comment here telling me which post from 5 Minutes for Going Green was your favorite in the last week. You can earn an extra entry by twittering or posting about this giveaway, just leave an additional comment with a link to your tweet/post (also send me a tweet at @ToThink to let me know you did!). The deadline is midnight on Friday August 1st. Winner will be picked at random. Good luck! And be sure to check out the plethora of other giveaways going on this week!

Share and Enjoy:

I Jam, Therefore I Am was definitely the post that spoke to me. I read Animal, Vegetable, Miracle and was so inspired. However, I don’t the first thing about canning and neither do my friends. Who wants to come help me?! So far we are chowing down on the CSA goodies we get and we just signed up for the winter program too.
Erin on July 29th, 2008 6:22 am

I loved the most recent entry about the Putting Food By book. We just bought ten pounds of organic peaches, and I’m looking into canning them for the winter!

I liked the most recent post about putting up food. When I lived on a farm, I canned/froze/jammed/pickled - well, you get the idea - everything! Love reusable bags…can you ever have enough?
val on July 29th, 2008 6:58 am

I jam, therefore I am. Good article. I’ve always been leery of jarring/canning.

I liked “Ready, Set, Go: Your Green Getting Started Guide” although I read the one about bug control with high-hopes, but was slightly disappointed.

I have a horrible mosquito problem, but dunks can’t really help. I don’t have any standing water (although my neighbors might). I think I’m going to get a bat box.

“I Jam, Therefore I Am” is my favorite post for the week. It really brought back memories of my Grandma Kee’s kitchen covered in Mason Jar’s and baskets full of vegetables and fruit from her enormous garden. I loved to hear the lid pop!
Victoria L on July 29th, 2008 10:04 am

I realy enjoyed reading “Ready, Set, Go: Your Green Getting Started Guide.” I am a big fan of doing whatever I can to make my contribution to a healthier Earth. I can’t wait to show this post to my husband because he sees where I am coming from, but he gets a bit overwhelmed because he does not know where to start and how to feel like what he is doing matters. Thanks for the great read!

I really like today’s actually-”I Jam, Therefore, I Am”. We always like to freeze and can our produce that we grow each year-there is no way that we would ever be able to eat it all!
Jennae @ Green Your Decor on July 29th, 2008 10:44 am

My favorite post from last week was “Note To Self…Simple Ways To Green Your Daily Routine” by Jennifer. It is really great to hear how her family took their first steps toward going green and even better to hear how easy she made it sound. This is a great post for people who are just getting started.

Reiza on July 29th, 2008 11:05 am

I like the Playstation article. That whole situation has lots of people talking about it when they may not be the types to consider themselves environmentalists. At the same time, environmentalists who aren’t gamers may not even have been aware of the situation. So I’m thrilled to see that article and I like the way it was presented.

I love your post Ready, Set, Go: Your Green Getting Started Guide, it’s good advice and I like how you wrote your personal history into it, because a lot of people don’t ‘get’ going green and can understand were you are coming from and hopefully it will encourage them to see the light =) Awesome bags, btw, I love the design =)

My favourite was I Jam, Therefore I Am. My mom used to make raspberry, strawberry and grape jams or jellies. She also canned peaches and cherries…….all of the fruit came from our yard!!

I have committed myself to start making jam next summer (I’ve missed the local berries already). I also want to pickle some green beans and other veggies as I do believe that prices are going to go sky high!

Thanks for the great giveaway, I love enviro totes!

Definitely “100 Mile Vacation!”

We just came back from vacation - we went less than an hour away (Daytona Beach) and stayed at a hotel that was close to EVERYTHING so we didn’t just our van even once! I just wrote all about it (with photos) in a post entitled “sunrise. midnight.”

Kim on July 30th, 2008 6:59 am

For me, it was your most recent post, The Green Gifting Dilemma. This is something that has been on my mind, as both of my children had their birthday’s in June. We try really hard to get them toys that are green, but it is hard when other’s are buying for them.
I would normally say I’d regift them, but I really don’t want any child having them…so, you’re right, it is quite the dilemma. Ugh. I guess I can just ask for lots of books and build their book supply

Dianna Ball on July 30th, 2008 7:40 am

I was so excited to start reading your posts and to find your suggestion to read “putting food by.” I’m a somewhat new gardener and am about to come into MANY tomatoes and cukes, not to mention green peppers and squash. I would LOVE to know how to keep some of this for later and immediately went to my library’s website to hold our copy of the book (alas, I can’t find my library card…but that’s alright).

Thanks!

P.S. The bags look great - I like the blue best.
Kari on July 30th, 2008 7:43 am

I would love to enter your giveaway, the bags are awesome! I loved your post about the stay-at-home-mom-worker.

I look forward to reading more of your blog.

The Green Gifting Dilemma. We really want our family to give us experiences (tickets, outings, meals) instead of objects–or even nothing is OK with us–but we don’t feel that we can place demands on gifts, and they insist on stuff stuff stuff.

I liked all the notes to self, of course. But my favorite post was Not So Welcome Home. My babies are 12 and 10 so it’s been awhile since I felt the rejection of an infant but your post was really touching and brought back the feeling of it all. Plus I can relate to the ever tightening squeeze of financial woes. It was a piece of writing that didn’t just tell. It made me feel. Thanks

Alaina on July 30th, 2008 7:05 pm

My favorite is I Jam Therefore I Am. Food preservation is important to me - I was hoping to make jam but exciting things happening in our family are making that unlikely. I am freezing fruits - worked on peaches today. I also will preserve tomatoes - maybe freezing also. I make and can applesauce and apple butter in the fall with my mom.

How does your squash and zucchini do with freezing? Do you use it in soups? I’m adding your new blog to my favorites!
Pam on July 30th, 2008 8:26 pm

The Green Gifting Dilemma was really wonderful. I’ve been going to a lot of birthdays and baby showers lately, so this really helped me out!
Katherine Frazier on July 31st, 2008 6:49 am

I liked the food preservation post - we all need to do more.
Kathy on July 31st, 2008 7:01 am

I like the 100 Mile Vacation post. We live in a tourist destination and there is plenty to do here.

I really like the article I Jam, Therefore, I Am
I always can Green Beans, and Jam, but this year i am trying to do more, and this was the motivation that I needed.
Sara K on July 31st, 2008 7:31 am

I love the 100 Mile Vacation. I like everything that it supports. Driving a short distance and finding local things to do. Spending money locally. That’s great!!

Green Gifting Dilemma
Jennifer J on July 31st, 2008 8:10 am

My favorite was, Note To Self…Simple Ways To Green Your Daily Routine. Thanks for the bag giveaway.
Jodi on July 31st, 2008 8:19 am

I could relate to “The Green Gifting Dilemna.” I hate getting (and giving) useless plastic crap for kids. Now that the kids are older and getting invited to more and more parties, I’m always looking for useful, inoffensive gifts. Art supplies is at the top of my list.
Lisa on July 31st, 2008 8:39 am

I liked the, “Ready, Set, Go: Your Green Getting Started Guide.” It is overwhelming.
Jennifer Hill on July 31st, 2008 8:50 am

I enjoyed “I Jam, Therfore, I Am”. I love putting up fresh fruits and veggies.

I was interested in the I Jam, Therefore I Am blog. While I don’t do canning, I can freeze produce. It is such a shame to waste all the wonderful veggies from a home garden.
Christina on July 31st, 2008 10:45 am

“Note To Self…Simple Ways To Green Your Daily Routine” was my fav of your green posts.
Audrey on July 31st, 2008 11:25 am

I read your post about gifts. Here’s my suggestion. Can you say “if you stuck on gift ideas, my daughter would love___” and then name a few ideas.

Or…what about a bit more sublte and say “my daughter is hoping some of her gifts come from ___” and then name the store?

Now…how to wrap those gifts so as not to waste paper
israel y on July 31st, 2008 12:02 pm

i like the playstation war
Marsha on July 31st, 2008 12:18 pm

(Gasp!) I just finished reading your PlayStation War post. I had no idea. Wow. Just Wow. On a lighter note, the work you’ve put into your blog is obvious.
Thanks for sharing so much info!
Kathleen on July 31st, 2008 12:19 pm

I enjoyed your post about green gifts. I am a fairly green person, try to buy as many green products as I can, but … I have to admit, when it comes to giving gifts, I’m not very good at it. I just don’t plan well enough for gift-giving, and end up running out to Target or whatever at the last minute. The last birthday party we attended, we were frantically wrapping the gift in the parking lot of the event *shame*

Thank you for the wonderful giveaway though, I promise I will try to do better!

I liked I Jam, Therefore I Am - my husband and I are about to jump into the art of canning, and it was inspiring to me.

I Jam, therefore I am. I’ve been thinking about doing that. By the way, your blog is gorgeous.
Kerry Lang on July 31st, 2008 4:31 pm

“I jam therfore I am” was my fav. The article hit home in regards to my neighbors getting tired of the baskets of produce because my garden produced too much and I had never learned how to preserve food through the winter.

Susan Ledet on July 31st, 2008 4:44 pm

I enjoyed “Ready, Set, Go: Your Green Getting Started Guide” and “I Jam Therefore I Am”, both were very informative and well written.
Thanks for the nice giveaway.
sarah on July 31st, 2008 5:46 pm

the 100 mile vacation was my favourite post. it’s amazing what you can find in your own neck of the woods without traveling so far away.
Beverley Justice on July 31st, 2008 5:47 pm

Thank you for sponsoring the giveaway. Simple Ways To Green Your Daily Routine was really helpful.
Nature Deva on July 31st, 2008 6:29 pm

My favorite was the one by the CDG about staying cool without air conditioning. Ok, maybe that was 2 weeks ago?
Lisa @ Crazy Adventures in Parenting on July 31st, 2008 6:54 pm

Definitely The Green Gifting Dilemma, as we are having that issue ourselves with 5 soon to be 6. We have parents who want to get the kids a lot of ‘little things’ that the kids like for all of 5 seconds and that break easy, end up left everywhere, broken, etc., similar to fast food toys (ick). I’d rather they buy them something that will last a lot longer. I’ve said it many a time but still have yet to get through. *sigh*

First of all, these bags look great.

Second, I’d have to say that Ready,Set, Go… was a favorite as I’m in the early stages of greening up my household..

I like your Ready, Set, Go going green starters guide - my husband and I are the opposite - he’s not into it (not convenient enough to compost and separate trash etc) and I’m into it kinda but would like to be into more~

Dddiva @ My Loonyverse on August 1st, 2008 9:08 am

Ready, Set, Go: Your Green Getting Started Guide was informative and not overwhelming. We’re getting there slowly but not as rabid/radical as some.
I love the bags, great giveaway, thanks.
Oh and I LIKE Hello Kitty. Everybody needs sunglasses and we like waffles.

Elizabeth M. on August 1st, 2008 2:38 pm

Without question, it’s the EcoChic Organizing post. I’m hopelessly disorganized but from outward appearances, you’d never know. I just have trouble finding methods that make sense to me personally. If they don’t make sense to the way I think and do things, I won’t keep up with it. I actually found a couple of ideas in that article that I’m going to put into action and see what happens.
Marcia on August 1st, 2008 2:39 pm
