Dolphin Blue Review and '09 PLANNER give away!! CLOSED



Just in time for the New Year I have a wonderful giveaway for you! A planner! If you are a busy working mom like me, you know that you cannot live without a great planner. As a home health nurse, my job depends on keeping my schedules updated, so this planner is a lifeline for me!!

Dolphin Blue sent me an earthscapes monthly planner! Not only is this a beautiful planner and very useful, but great for the environment too. These planners are made with a minimum of 30% of recycled paper. You have to love a company that gives something back to our environment! “Using 30%, 50% or 100% post consumer recycled papers and Appointment Planners benefits all of us. The benefits are as follow:
• Substantial energy is saved (generally, 95% of the energy used to make virgin paper).
• Oxygen-producing forest habitat is preserved.
• Landfill-destined waste is eliminated. “
So, if you are a busy mom like me or just a busy person is general Dolphin Blue is a wonderful place to purchase all you scheduling and office needs.


WIN IT!

First of all I think it is great that there are companies who support the environment and promote earth friendly products and solutions.
Dolphin Blue also provides a portion of its profits to 501(c)(3) environmental organizations.

"In this consumption-driven world in which we live, recycled paper and our other products slow depletion of forest resources, extend landfill life, reduce energy consumption and emissions, and, subsequently, lessen the effects of global warming. By offering only recycled paper products that are environmentally responsible, we can make a difference, and so can you."

Wow what a great idea!! i love companies like this!! =)

It reduces the amount of trees being harvested. After living a town over from a paper producing factory and watching trees by the truck load go by and being ill at the thought of those being turned into paper which there is way too much of especially with a Kindergartner and first grader bringing it home by the bucket load, I think this company is on to something.

thank you for the intro to this site...I was actually considering buying a new planner instead of recycling last year's :)
I am happy to find a company working towards complete sustainablity through recycling and using renewable resources. I also appreciate the use of non-toxic inks and gums...we are getting greener!

tami said...

to put it simply - we need to live like this (recycling etc) in order to have a future generation! i knew some of what they wrote but not all. i didn't know all the info on how our bodies react- mistaking toxins - and it scares me to think how blase we are.

tami said...

i sub thru google!

Using a vegetable-based ink allows soy ink to produce up to 50% more impressions than the same amount of petroleum based ink.

Some of their facts were shocking
like all the trees used to produce magazines
1 ton of coated, higher-end virgin magazine paper (used for magazines like National Geographic and many others) uses a little more than 15 trees.

Using soy ink can reduce worsening ozone problems. I never knew there was a problem with inks. I'm glad to have seen their site.
Thanks!
