Friday Link Love: Weekend Starter Edition

I know I’ve been doing link love on Sundays and Mondays, but I think Fridays are a bit more logical. It’s a great way to wrap up the week and give you something to ponder over the weekend. So here are this week’s picks:

Green Giveaways:

• Enter The Great Green Giveaway at The Good Human. You have a chance to win a ton of great prizes, including a messenger bag from Terracycle, a copy of the book Big Green Purse by Diane MacEachern, and organic, all-natural shampoo, conditioner and body gel from Yes To Carrots, among other things. Ends Oct. 14.
• Win one of two recycled inner tube clutch purses valued at $220 by Passchal from Green Grechen. These purses are sexy and sassy, and though they are made with some leather, they are made from recycled inner tubes. I’m not sure when it ends, so get over there soon.
• Win a bamboo t-shirt by Tees for Change in the size and color of your choice from Mommie Daze. Ends Oct. 15.

Miscellaneous:

• Want to reduce your household waste even further? Sign up for Terracycle’s unique recycling programs. Terracycle turns everyday waste like drink pouches (popular in my household for mini me), corks, yogurt containers, cookie wrappers, corks and energy bar wrappers that are not traditionally recyclable into great products. You’ve probably seen their awesome bags made from Capri Sun drink pouches at Target. For every item to turn in to them, you’ll get between 2 and 6 cents to donate to the school of your choice or the Adopt-A-Classroom program.  Terracycle really is a great, innovative green company that takes the concept of recycling to the next level!
