In preparation for Earth Day {Thursday, April 22}, here are some Coquettish suggestions on things to do, buy, enjoy, and recycle.

HAVE TO HAVE

  • Baggu makes lightweight and environmentally friendly shopping sacks. They come in a variety of colors and patterns. They fold up neatly into a storage pouch and the heavy duty ripstop nylon can hold alot. Baggu can be purchased at a variety of retailers: endless.com, Amazon.com and even Neiman Marcus.
  • Try a new eco-friendly water bottle like Bobble.  Sleek styling makes being eco-friendly tre Coquette.  You can fill your bottle up anywhere because the filter is in the cap!  Even better is the price, at $9.95 each, you can afford to buy one for the office and gym.
  • Purchase Aveda’s Light the Way Candle and 100% of the proceeds will go to support Global Greengrant’s Fund water related projects.
  • Parducci is a America’s first 100% Carbon Neutral Winery offering sustainable wines starting at $10.99 a bottle.
  • Gorgeous, organic, and gives you a buzz – try Rain Organics Vodka. This vodka is perfect for your next cocktail party - Made from 100% organic white corn and delightfully infused with things like lavender, honey, and hibiscus.

SAVE & RECYCLE

  • Bring in your own tumbler and save $0.10 on your Starbucks beverage.
  • Find a local “green” dry cleaner here.
  • Enjoy up to 40% off in Drugstore.com’s green and natural store
  • The Body Shop is offering 20% off online orders until 4/25.
  • Bring in any empty cosmetic bottle, tube or jar to any U.S. Origins retail store or counter to be recycled and Origins will give you a free full size cleanser. Choose from either Checks and Balances or A Perfect World. Click here for more details.
  • Recylce your denim and get 20% off at Azalea in San Francisco.

THINGS TO DO {in SF and NY}

  • A live celebration will be taking place in New York’s Times Square, complete with the famous NYE ball transforming into a rotating globe of Earth.
  • The California Academy of Sciences in San Francisco is hosting a week of events ranging from a story time for kids & families to the Extremely Green Nightlife party for the 21 and over.
  • San Francisco’s Ghirardelli Square is hosting a free event with food, live music, and green knowledge on Saturday, April 24th from 12-5pm.
  • Pottery Barn Kids is hosting kid-friendly events in their stores Thursday, April 22 from 11am-3pm.  And kids get to take home something to plant on their own.
  • As previously mentioned on here Coquettish, Anthropologie is hosting a series of gardening events in their California stores.

    • terracycle

  • A great way to get educated and cure the shopping itch is to visit Terracycle’s New York pop-up shop, featuring products, like this intricate marigold gown, literally made from waste.  Every Wednesday at lunch there are free workout sessions and Thursday evenings include drinks and a different guest speaker sharing eco-friendly knowledge.
  • MO Bar at the Mandarin Oriental in San Francisco is hosting a green wine tasting. Admission is $28 and part of the proceeds will go to the Friends of the Urban Forest Fund.

    • There are many fun ways to get involved in spreading eco-friendly awareness. We encourage you to go out and support your local organization in their efforts. With such great discounts, parties, and payoff, we want everyday to be Earth Day!

      I love Baggu! I got a purple one as a gift at Christmastime, and I carry it in my purse everywhere with me. So useful!
