How about a little Red, White, Blue, and Green? This 4th of July get outside and celebrate with an eco-friendly lawn game! This holiday is a perfect time to reflect on our great country, and make decisions that will help keep it that way. So, turn off the lights, turn off your air conditioner and enjoy some fresh air and good company while being truly patriotic.
For a casual game of toss or a sporting challenge try these earth-loving discs. The Wham-O Re-Flyer is made from 100% post consumer recycled plastic. This Frisbee is perfectly balanced and approved by the Ultimate Players Association. Plus, these discs are made in the USA and packaged with recycled cardboard. For your softer side, the Pocket Disc is perfect for indoor or outdoor use, as a Frisbee or pretty much anything else (hot pad, fly swatter, dog toy, cool hat). This floppy friend is made from 100% cotton and is a fair trade product that supports Mayan Indian weavers. Fold it up and take it anywhere!
It’s never to early to start practicing for the Thanksgiving day Family football game. But this year, warm up with an Eco Fair Trade Football. This football is eco-certified and vegan, plus you can rest assured that adult workers received a fair wage, and all of Fair Trade Sport’s after tax profits go to children’s charities.
How about a new yard game? V:King, or Kubb as I know it, is an awesome Swedish block game complete with deception and intrigue, requiring both strategy and skill. The first time I played this 2-4 player game, I couldn’t get enough, and everyone that I have ever showed it to falls in love instantly! Wilde Games makes all of its sets from northern US hardwoods sources from a regional supplier. The wood is free from any chemicals or dyes, and it comes in a great eco-friendly, canvas storage bag.
This isn’t your grandmother’s croquet set, ok so maybe it looks like it, but I really think that this game is making a comeback. Maybe you haven’t played this one in awhile, but you might be surprised how fun it is to get some friends together and battle it out, I sure was. The Forest Industries Scottsdale Croquet Set is made here in the US from hard maple, and comes in a handy and eco, canvas carry bag.
No need to scream, just get into the green lifestyle and save the world from a car trip to the store, and a hardworking fridge, but still enjoy a cool treat! This is a really fun and healthy way to make great-tasting ice cream. Just add ingredients to the Camper’s Dream Play and Freeze, roll it around, and voila! Ice cream! The plastic shell, aluminum can, and rubber ring are all 100% BPA free. It also comes in a larger size for any extra screamers.
