Cool Green Products Review and a Giveaway

I did some research over the summer and found some really interesting “green” products. I found some really odd ones too, but I’ll save those for another day.
I did get to review all of theses products and there will be a giveaway of one of them too!

The HydroRight Dual Flusher

Have you seen the new toilets that have two flushers? I stayed at a hotel that had one. It was cool. There’s a flusher for one type of deposit and a flusher for the other type of deposit. My neighbors recently replaced their toilets with these and I thought, “I want one too”. But I can’t just replace my toilets.

For about the past year we’ve been going by the slogan “if it’s yellow, let it mellow….” you know what I mean. You do, don’t you. Anyway it works for us. We don’t do it if we have company, but when it’s just the four of us. I also thought about putting a brick in the tank or a large bottle to help save water. Well I have the best thing to share…

The HydroRight Dual Flush can do the same thing. You place the HydroRight into your tank. Takes under 10 minutes to install no tools are needed. It took awhile to get my husband to just do it, but he said it was very easy.
Did you know that without dual flushes, 80% of the flushes, waste water. You can buy them on their website or at home improvement stores. They even have a water calculator to see if you’re wasting water.

Recycled pens and pencils form Paper Mate.

I really like this one. We go through many pens where I work and when the ink runs out, there goes the pen and all that plastic. These new pens and pencils are made from recycle materials and when there done, you can recycle them again. They are biodegradable too!

Paper Mate Pencils: These are made from corn, instead of petroleum-based plastics, so when the product comes in contact with soil, it will naturally decompose and biodegrade. And of course the packaging is also made out of 100 percent recyclable materials and is plastic-free.


The Paper Mate Recycled Pens are made from anywhere from 67 percent to 80 percent recycled materials. They come in different colors too. I tried them out and they’re no different than any other pens, except I like them better because they’re recycled and are recyclable!

And to top it off, Paper Mate has partnered with TerraCycle. My favorite company!!So all of their old pens can be “upcycled” into new products. You can learn more about the program here: http://www.terracycle.net/brigades/40-Writing-Instruments-Brigade.

Hydros Water Bottles

Want a water bottle that you can fill up anywhere with tap water? Try the Hydros Water Bottle, I did and love it! What is it? It’s is a filtered reusable water bottle with a built-in filter.

It makes me sad every time I see people buying cases of bottled water. I’m sorry, it does. It’s really easy to use refillable bottles, once you just do it! And the Hydros Water Bottle is perfect for those who only like filtered water. You;ll always have a filter, it’s in the bottle.

These are made in the USA and they are PBA FREE. The other day while out and about, Target had some great water bottles for .99. I was going to get a few for Christmas, but there was no PBA free notification on the bottle. The more I thought about, the more I did not want to buy them, so I put them back. I’d rather but BPA free!

You can order them online at https://hydrosbottle.com/.

I love mine! I use it everyday. My only complaint is when my husband tightens it, I can never get the lid off to drink the water. I always have to ask the security guard at work. But other than that, it’s awesome!

  4. I am loving the Hydros water bottle. I always pack a reusable water bottle with me every where I go. Of course I always drink it before I get home or get to a filtered tap water so I end up buying bottled bottle water. With this I can save money and the environment. You can find tap water anywhere and most of all I can pack just one these and share it with my little man.

  5. The flusher is my favorite because we used to live in Germany and these are standard there… so much more efficient. I wish our entire house was outfitted with them!

  16. I am a water conserver, so I like the HydroRight™ Dual Flush Converter. The choice of water only flush is excellent (no more saving flushes & possible staining)!
