Join Toyota & Wyland Foundation in Community Water Wise Pledge, Prius c Hybrid Giveaway, Ends 4/30

Eco Living
Water Pledge & Prius c Giveaway



Built around the upcoming 42nd anniversary of Earth Day which falls on April 22, 2012, Toyota USA is participating in Earth Month in a big way. The company that brought us the Camry, one of America's best selling cars, is stepping out into the community yet again to take the lead in partnering with world-famous marine artist and green living activist Wyland and his non-profit The Wyland Foundation to bring about positive changes in water conservation.

Wyland with the support of Toyota is building public awareness about water-wise practices this month via the National Mayor’s Challenge for Water Conservation.  The campaign will be rewarding those who take the online pledge to conserve water and energy with the chance to win the Grand Prize: a Prius c Hybrid. More than 1000 other prizes will be given away including custom designed sprinkler systems, various water saving fixtures for the home, and Lowe's gift cards.

It only takes a few minutes 
to sign the pledge, so do it Now

Ends at 11:59 pm PST, April 30

Me test driving the new 2012 Prius c at Toyota USA Headquarters

Committing to conserve water, save money and reduce pollution is so important to us all. By taking part in the My Water Pledge initiative, not only will everyone's efforts impact the world we live in now as well as that of future generations, but residents in the communities with the highest participation will be eligible to win some really great prizes like the Prius c and much more.


Toyota seems to be involved nationally or locally in one way or another on a rolling basis. In fact I think their commitment to community service is one that other big companies might consider emulating. Last month, for example, there was the launch of the 100 Cars for Good campaign and during the holidays Toyota was stuffing as many gifts for kids as they could into Prius v vehicles to deliver to Toys for Tots.

I've already taken the MyWaterPledge and hope you'll leave me a comment saving that you have too!

Kids Easter All-in-One Music CD, Project Book and Stickers Activity Set Review & Giveaway, Ends 4/4

Celebrations
Giveaway details below


What could be better for families with kids who will be celebrating Easter on April 8th than this? Designed by 'ZinePak, this cute, creative and educational all-in-one activity set has it all. First there is the CD with 10 popular children's songs performed by kids that capture the fun and frivolity of spring. Then there's the 60-page full color book that includes all kinds of activities and projects youngsters ages 5-11 will enjoy.



The recorded CD classic song list features tunes that have been enjoyed for generation. Included are  Good Ship Lollipop, Six Little Ducks, Here Comes Peter Cottontail, My Choc'late Rabbit, Here We Go Round the Mulberry Bush, It's Raining It's Pouring, Polly Wolly Doodle, Bingo, Apples & Bananas and There's a Hole in My Bucket. Songs performed by The Hit Crew Kids from Drew's Entertainment.
While your child is listening to the music they can also be enjoying the color book full of bunnies, chicks, and multi-hued Easter eggs. This softcover includes a storage slot inside the back cover for the CD as well as page after page of everything from word search and crossword puzzles to coloring and drawing projects and some really clever but simple arts and crafts ideas. There's even a few pages of adorable photos of different breeds of dogs wearing bunny ears where your child gets to pick the pup he/she likes best. To top it all off 15 darling Easter stickers are stashed inside the package.

This would make a really novel and memorable add-in to a child's Easter basket this year. It is also would make a great gift just to entertain your own little one -- all you need is a CD player to enjoy the music with your children -- without the help of an iPad, iPhone or any other mobile device or computer. 

I think the 'Zinepak Easter Activity Set would make an awesome hostess gift for anyone that has kids, too, and would likely keep the small fry busy while the adults sit around the table and talk at Easter dinner. Just $5, all inclusive, and available exclusively at Walmart.

At launch, the brands PetiteBox is working with include Angel Dear, Basq, Dr. Hauschka, Earth Friendly Baby, HABA, Happy Family, Lansinoh, Lotus Wei, MAM, MD Moms, Petites Frites, and Weleda. Others will be added in the months ahead.
