Ecominders to Help You Not Forget the Environment

March 2, 2009 By 28 Comments



E-MEALZ EASY AND DELICIOUS DINNER RECIPESeco_logoandtagAs a mom running in a million directions juggling the kids, home, work, client emails, instant messages, travel, the pesky but adorable dog and the worries of the world and not so great economy – I forget stuff.  It’s easy to do and when it comes to going green and helping the planet there are lots of things that aren’t so great to forget. Such as turning the lights off, unplugging appliances, using less toilet paper, not using water while brushing my teeth and the list goes on.

The most adorable mom ever (beside me) has created this simple and effective way to help remind us. The company is called Ecominders and they make environmental stickers that are removable and reusable to help us save the planet. My son loves the school and kids packages because the pictures are so cute. He actually remembers stuff because of the stickers. Teachers this is perfect for your classrooms this Earth Day and every day.

Better late than never to annouce the five winners! Cathy, Marianna,  Jenni, Rebecca and Carla you have won some Ecominders! Congrats!

    I would love a reminder to turn down the heat before leaving the house for the day…..always remember a few miles down the road!

  • Suellen

    I need a reminder to stop letting the water run when I’m brushing my teeth or doing the dishes. A STUPID habit, but tough to break!

    I love your blog!

    Wow, what a geat idea! I always forget to turn of the power strip that the TV and DVD player are plugged into, so a reminder would be great!

    I need to be reminded to recycle our paper products at the Paper Retriever at my girls’ school! It helps raise money for the school and recycles all our paper waste at the same time!

    I’ve mentioned this in a comment to you before – it DRIVES ME NUTS when I forget my reuseable grocery bags!! I could use an ecominder AND a good kick in the pants!

    These stickers are much cuter than the post it notes I stuck on my electronics to remind me to turn them off after I was done using them. Especially my sewing machine – I kept forgetting that I kept it turned on once I was finished sewing a project.

    I need to be reminded to unplug my phone charger (and computer plug) when the phone (or computer) isn’t plugged into it.

    What a cute idea. I always forget to unplug my hairdryer and flat iron. I turn them off but leave them plugged in.

    I always forget to bring my own mug when going out for coffee!

    I always leave my cell phone charger plugged in way too long. Once I plug it in to charge it, I just leave it there until I need it next instead of unplugging once it is charged. The stickers are adorable!

    Definitely taking bags to go shopping! I have several reusable bags, and also try to reuse my produce bags, but don’t keep them restocked properly in the car!

    Thank you!

    I always forget the reusable bags! Sometimes they are even in the car but I don’t remember until I’m already checking out.

    We will plant buckeye trees that I started from seeds from my Mom’s house last fall. My Mom passed away in February so I’m glad I started them. It’s time for them to go outside now!

    We are using candles at night, instead on electricity, using recyclabe bags of course, waking instead of using the car and get this….making meals that don’t need to be cooked….ex. bean salad.

  • Doreen

    I am participating in an earth day (4 day celebration) at Jackson Community College in Jackson, MI. In all likelyhood, I will bring my little boy to many of the events. I am a part of the planning committee for this Spring Fest. We are having Recycled crafting, a freecycle free for all day, and our annual earth day campus clean up (we have staff and students clean main campus and along the road for 1 mile surrounding campus). These are just a few of the activities that we are planning… it will be fun! If you are just curious, here is the website with all of the details http://www.jccmi.edu/StudentServices/StudentLife/campusview/springfest.htm

    We will be cleaning our yard and making a fenced in area for our 5 chihuahuas. We’ll plant flowers around the perimeter.

    To celebrate earth day, I am selling reusable green bags at my son’s school, that have the school name embroidered on them. All money that is made will go to purchase something “green” for the school (principal still needs to choose), such as: cost difference for organic fertilizer, natural cleaning supplies, indoor air testing, items needed to start an organic school garden, etc. HAPPY EARTH DAY!
