Greenraising Review and Giveaway

In my quest for green and eco- friendly products, I came across Greenraising. Greenraising has a little bit of everything from jewelery, school supplies, wrapping paper and so much more.

Greenraising is earth friendly fundraising.

At Greenraising, we believe that people want to make good choices for our planet’s health. We strive to make it easy for them to do so, by providing products that help them consume less, preserve natural resources, and help others.
We believe that it is easier, and more effective, to help many people make small changes than to convince a few to completely change their way of life

I was able to review their “greenest” water bottle and a roll of recycled wrapping paper. Oh how I love the recycled wrapping paper. It’s nice and thick.


Our “greenest” bottle, in all senses of the word. This one just feels like spring, with those lovely new leaves overlapping and covering the entire surface of the bottle. It reminds us of lying on the grass, looking up into the leaves of an old, old tree. Made exclusively for Greenraising, these bottles are ONLY available here. Note: These bottles are made in China by a leading U.S. green company, which regularly tests for safety and has independently verified factory labor conditions

Bubbly – 100% recycled gift wrap

Underwater bubbles? Champagne bubbles? Blowing bubbles? You decide…

Wrap your gifts in a paper that makes the recipient feel good because of the hip design AND the paper itself! This paper is designed and printed in the USA on 100% post consumer recycled paper with soy based inks. The paper is Processed Chlorine Free and manufactured with Green-e certified wind power. It’s thick, smooth, and beautiful – who says being “green” is boring?

Greenraising has offered one Mommy Has to Work reader one of their “greenest” Water bottles and a roll of Bubbly Recycled Wrapping Paper.

  1. I like that it is such a easy site for info. to bring a little more green into your life. When you think about the big picture or saving the earth, one little water bottle does not seem like it would mean much. But if everyone used one less water bottle…think how much that would mean. I like how Greenraising has so much information from everything to soap to use at work…to lunch bags for my son at school… all at one place.

  2. According to greenraising.com, "[t]he production of a ton of paper requires 17 trees, 7,000 gallons of water and more energy per ton than glass or steel." I'm glad I make to do lists on the backs of used envelopes : )

    I went to the site and I think it is neat that they were started to tackle the issue of fundraising and allowing kids to help the environment at the same time- how cool! (I have bought my fair share of cookie dough as well, lol)
    Thanks!

  66. I like how they sell "green" products to help raise money for causes they believe in. Also from their ideas for action section : Drive slower: for every mile per hour you drive under 65 mph, you save about 2% in fuel efficiency.
