Terracycle Green Pet Products - GreenDaily Giveaway Winner!


(Photo by TerraCycle)



We have a winner of the Terracycle natural and nontoxic pet products kit. Winner Matt will have a fresh and clean home, a healthy and happy pet, and be environmentally responsible with this great basket of cleaning products:


Matt shared this funniest pet clean up incident:

The worst has to be when you forget to bring a bag (we're city dwellers in a land of militant poop police!) and struggle to find ANYTHING to collect and cart away the "business"... leaves are ideal and even a luxury! Too often you're in a distinctly public place where you'll be scorned or ticketed for moving more than 5 feet - even if you're trying to find something to fashion into a waste collector! I once had to wad together about 20 register receipts from my wallet to pick up some nasty stuff! Walking it to the nearest trash can was even worse (add to it a dog who had seen a cat at this point and was pulling the leash all over the place!) - but for my best friend it was worth it!

It sounds like Matt's dog is lucky to have such a great buddy looking out for him!

One of the many ways we celebrated Earth Day here at GreenDaily was with a fantastic combination giveaway:

There were loads of entries, but we could only pick one winner, Angie, who shared these Earth Day plans:

I have actually already started celebrating Earth Day! On Sunday, I attended Columbus, Ohio's Earth Day Celebration in Goodale Park by visiting all the many information tents and enjoying a vegan hot dog. Tomorrow, my hubby and I (he is taking the day off from work) are going to start the foundations of our new organic vegetable garden! I can't wait!

We hope she looks and feels awesome while working in her new garden and enjoying her eco-friendly prizes!

It has two compartments -- one for your mat, and another one for whatever else you need. There's also an inside pocket to hold your keys, cell phone (turned off!) and money.

Besides being so functional, the bags are socially responsible, too. They're made from eco-friendly, recycled t-shirt scraps. Also? Incredibly cute!

Best of all, this week we're doing a three-way giveaway of a Yogoco bag in your choice of color and pattern! In addition to entering here, you can enter two more times, at sister sites That's Fit and StyleList!
