Introducing a toothbrush that not only cleans your teeth, but minimizes your impact on the environment. The design includes a curved handle for those hard-to-reach places and a three-level bristle arrangement to massage your gums. And while the bristles are brand new, the coolest part is the handle is made from recycled yogurt cups and is BPA Free. Preserve Toothbrushes are not only made from recyclable materials, but they also have a Mail Back system. The Mail Back Pack is a revolutionary approach to packaging, the lightweight package doubles as a return envelope. Just pop your old used Preserve toothbrush inside and send it back to us for recycling free of shipping charges.
Since Dentist recommend you change toothbrushes every months. You can say goodbye to that toothbrush and shopping lists with Preserve’s subscription program. Every three months, a new Preserve Toothbrush is delivered to your door. Each subscription order contains one Preserve Toothbrush which is delivered to your door every three months for one year (four toothbrushes total with one travel case). – THE WIFE
Preserve toothbrushes are incredibly affordable $2.99 each or the subscription program for $13.00, They come in 5 different colors with bristles ranging in Ultra Soft, Soft and Medium.

Since Today is Earth Day, I’ve decided to kick things off with an easy way for you WIVES to switch to Eco Friendly and Organic or All Natural Products.
Is your Oral Hygiene Green? Photographed above is an ordinary toothpaste brand you would find in any household. Toothpaste is a controversial issue because of two ingredients that some say are harmful: Sodium Laurel Sulfate (SLS) and Fluoride. SLS is a foaming agent that is derived from coconut oil, It is used in brake fluid and anti freeze and also in a huge variety if skin care products, including toothpaste, shampoo, bubble bath and soap. It is not only a proven skin irritant but also known to be a carcinogenic. SLS is also linked to causing canker sores. Also floating around in that little tube of toothpaste is Hydrated Silica, Lead is a neurotoxin and a naturally occurring contaminant of Hydrated Silica. And chances are if your brushing with blue colored toothpaste that it has FD&C Blue, which is Coal Tar based dye.
Below is a great alternative and all natural toothpaste by Toms of Maine. Lets start with the packaging, All products are packed in environmentally sustainable post consumer recycled paper board and are printed with vegetable based inks. All plastics used by the company can be recycled (#5 polypropylene) and or packaged with biodegradable cellulose. Tom’s of Maine offers a variety of Toothpaste for everyone. Weather your looking for a fluoride free toothpaste or an SLS Free toothpaste, They’ve got what your looking for. They believe and use sustainable farming, absolutely no testing on animals and reject anything artificial. Best of all Toms of Maine is available at all Pharmacies, Target, and Whole Foods and costs the same as any other regular toothpaste. Why wouldn’t you switch! – THE WIFE
*And the easiest way to be environmentally kind is to turn off the faucet while your brushing!

A Greener Firelog
While flipping through an engineering textbook, a tiny fact with huge implications caught inventor Rod Sprules’s eye: coffee grounds have more energy capacity than cordwood when combusted.
He got to thinking, and soon realized that two recent cultural trends could work together. Neighborhood coffeehouses and awareness of the need for a sustainable lifestyle were experiencing a groundswell of support all over North America. So he asked himself, what if we used coffee grounds from retail outlets, manufacturing plants, office buildings, and homes for hearth fires? The Java-Log® Firelog concept was born.
Java-Log® Firelog advantages include:
Diverts 12 million pounds of coffee grounds from landfills per year
Emits up to 78% less carbon monoxide and up to 66% less creosote than cordwood fires
Features renewable all natural-based waxes
Available at Whole Foods Markets

THE LAUNDRESS
Lindsey Wieber and Gwen Whiting, co-founders of The Laundress™, created this luxury fabric care and specialty detergent line to take the chore out of laundry. They saw the necessity of properly caring for their clothing and homes, but were not able to find products on the market that met their standards of delicacy, fragrance and sophistication. This propelled these entrepreneurs to design a luxurious brand of detergents and fabric care with their uniquely developed fragrances of Baby, Cedar, Lady and Classic. The Laundress launched in March 2004, after three years of research and development
WHY THE LAUNDRESS:
