Hello!
Thanks
to all of our friends and customers for making 2009 another great year
at Greenward! Despite tough economic times, we have been growing
steadily and adding new products all the time. We have been in
our new location for almost a year now, and we have really enjoyed its
increased visibility, floor space, and storage. We appreciate
your continued patronage during our current construction project.
We don't know exactly when it will be completed, but when it is we are
sure to be sporting a spruced up exterior.
We have several new
products on the way for 2010, so you will want to watch this space over
the next couple months. Here's a few that we've already got on
the shelves... |

Greensmart Lunch Totes
|
Greensmart has expanded their Neogreene line from the previously introduced laptop sleeves and water bottle covers to include a selection of lunch totes. Neogreene is an
earth-friendlier alternative to neoprene. It has twice the insulating
value of neoprene and is free of phthalates, VOCs, chlorine, or metals
used in the manufacture of neoprene. Neogreene also consumes 25% less
energy and 25% less petroleum to manufacture than neoprene. Neogreene
is constructed with water-based adhesives, not a possibility with
neoprene (neoprene's characteristic smell is the VOCs from the
adhesives). Neogreene is fully waterproof, durable, and lightweight
(50% lighter than neoprene by volume).
The
names for Greensmart's lunch totes are taken from endangered animals,
including the Sifaka, Margay, and Javan rhinoceros. Greensmart
donates 10% of profits to the World Wildlife Fund and other
organizations helping to create a greener planet.
The Margay ($25.99) is the old school traditionalist lunch box. A split exterior
pocket provides room for a cell phone, wallet or keys. You will be able
to fit even the largest of lunches in the spacious main compartment.
The Javan ($34.99) has an interior beverage sleeve and two exterior pockets. The
full zip-around makes access easy while the padded handles make for
comfortable carrying.

Resource Revival Bike Chain Luggage Tags and Bowl
|
With airport security what it is these days, you want a seriously tough
luggage tag. This one from Resource Revival fits the bill. It's made
from recycled bike chain with an anodized aluminum center. There is a
paper tag to write your info on and a braided steel cable to attach it
to your luggage. Just try to break this one off, TSA! $9.49 each.
This bowl is made entirely from coiled recycled
bike chain. It's welded together and heavy-duty enough to hold spare
rivets in your workshop, but also cool enough to use as a centerpiece,
candy dish, or container for your keys inside your home. $79.99. |

Clementine Art Supplies
|
 
 
Clementine
Art is a new company focused on non-toxic, high-quality art supplies
for kids made in the USA with safe, natural ingredients. You will
feel so much better wiping this stuff off the walls of your home,
scrubbing it out of that new dress, and washing it out of your hair.
Presently, we have Soy Crayons ($5.49 for a pack of 6), Soy Crayon Rocks ($5.49 for a pack of 8), Natural Glue ($5.49, 2 oz bottle), and Modeling Dough ($8.99 for a pack of 3). Soon, we should also have markers and paints!

Plastic Bag Dryers
|
We
had many requests for this item and we have finally procured some for
those of you buried in soggy plastic bags. The plastic bag dryers
are all wood construction and made in Canada. Push the sliding
collar down the dowels to expand the dryer for use,
pull it up the dowels for compact storage. It has eight dowels and can
be used with the base on a countertop, or hung from the included
eyelet. $19.99.
