Today is Earth Day. Many people celebrate Earth Day by doing simple eco-friendly acts such as walking or biking to work, starting a recycle trash system at home or work, or gathering a group of people to clean parks and are other public areas. Numerous communities celebrate Earth Week, promoting an entire week of activities focused on environmental issues.

Earth Day is an annual day on which events are held worldwide to demonstrate support for environmental protection. It is now coordinated globally by the Earth Day Network and is celebrated in more than 192 countries every year.

Founded by United States Senator Gaylord Nelson, the celebration of a special day for our planet was first held on April 22, 1970 with hopes to create a national teach-in on the environment. Nelson chose the April 22 date in order to maximize participation on college campuses.

Today, the annual holiday celebrates 43 years and its impact on our society has been very significant. Along with many movements to protest pollution and environmental degradation, Earth Day has influenced several important environmental issues and has led the government into creating the Environmental Protection Agency and passing the Clean Air, Clean Water, and Endangered Species acts, according to EarthDay.org.

Lucky Vitamin is proud to present another top quality brand of personal care products to our customers: BlueAvocado.

BlueAvocado is the love child of style and sustainability, born and bred by 3 women in Austin, Texas. They first set out to change just one thing – the way you shop. So a company was built run by women for the good of everybody. Then a mixable family of lifestyle products was designed, light on environmental waste and heavy on sass, style and inspiration. Featuring certified recycled REPREVE fibers, all BlueAvocado products are durable, lead-free, washable and include a carbon label to track environmental impact.

BlueAvocado makes it easy for anyone to reduce environmental waste and inspire change for good. In 2011, BlueAvocado products have eliminated more than 46 million disposables from the waste stream, upcyled up to 805 thousand plastic bottles through our fabric, inspired over 150 micro-entrepreneurs around the globe through donating 1% of sales to organizations such as Kiva.org and Whole Planet Foundation, and inspired thousands of Americans to join the green journey.

In 2012, BlueAvocado partnered with Lauren Conrad, reality-star-turned-designer, to create the stylish XO(ECO) collection, “a collection of sustainable lifestyle products for travel, beauty and shopping.”

BlueAvocado’s dream is to build a brand that creates products that inspire through design, invite change through purpose, and deliver results through use.

Lucky Vitamin is happy to introduce another eco-friendly brand of products to our customers: Glob.

Glob offers a unique selection of arts and crafts products sourced from natural, recyclable, and biodegradable materials. Made in California, Glob specializes in botanically crafted paints made from fruits, vegetables, flowers and spices with natural ingredients and organic extracts. These water-soluble pigments become paint just by adding water. Similar to watercolors, Glob paints can also be used for a variety of arts and crafts activities.  The vibrant pigments in Glob have been used by different cultures throughout the ages in food, artists’ paints and body products.

In the face of budget cuts, many schools have been forced to reduce or even eliminate art programs but the company is committed to bringing natural craft products to schools and teachers. Glob annual School Giveaway provides free paints to schools, making safe, green art supplies available for creative programs.

Glob strives to raise awareness about the regulation of non-toxic art products. Most consumers rely on “non-toxic” certification, unaware that in the US, synthetic pigments that have never been tested for toxicity can still be labeled “non-toxic”. Manufacturers are not required to list ingredients and “non-toxic” paints often contain numerous chemical additives, like the carcinogen formaldehyde, one of the most common paint preservatives.

Glob’s natural paint blends minimize manufacturing processes to reduce environmental impact. The dry powder pigments save weight and energy when shipped. The company also strives to use minimal packaging and ensure all ingredients and materials used are biodegradable. Glob uses recycled paper, vegetable and soy inks, and manufactures paint packets at a facility certified by the Natural Products Association, Organic Certifiers, Contract Packaging Association and American Association for Quality.

Glob paints are eco-friendly botanical paints for families and DIY projects. All Glob paints are natural, biodegradable, sustainable alternatives to synthetic arts.

Lucky Vitamin is proud to announce the introduction of a revolutionary brand to our customers: Wear Panda sunglasses.

Wear Panda offers the first line of sunglasses completely environmentally friendly. Panda produces high-end sunglasses handcrafted from sustainable bamboo and recycled polycarbonates.

Additionally, each purchase gives the gift of vision to someone in need. For every pair you purchase, Panda will provide an eye exam and a pair or prescription glasses to someone in need. Through a partnership with The TOMA Foundation, Panda has found a unique opportunity to help grow organically alongside a non-profit organization.

Originated in the Paper Mill tucked away in the historic Georgetown neighborhood of Washington, D.C., Panda is on a journey to change the environmental and social impact of sunglasses.

Sunglasses have traditionally been made from harmful plastics and metals through environmentally damaging manufacturing processes. Panda was created with the belief that there is no reason stylish sunglasses should not come in an environmentally friendly form. Based on countless feedback from local community and peers, Panda has launched the first designs available in three different stains: natural, brown, and black.  All Panda sunglasses are individually handcrafted to ensure superior quality and the attention to detail creates a final product that is not only stylish but also guaranteed to last for a lifetime.

Bamboo is a green alternative to environmentally hazardous plastics and metal sunglasses.  Its environmental benefits arise out of its ability to grow in a sustainable manner without the need for fertilizers, pesticides, or much water.  It is more moisture resistant and more stable than traditional woods such as Oak.  Bamboo is quickly becoming one of the most important plants in the world.

Lucky Vitamin is now offering Panda eco-friendly handmade bamboo sunglasses, available in many models and colors, at our discounted prices.

Lucky Vitamin is proud to introduce another eco-friendly brand to our customers: To-Go Ware.

To-Go Ware makes innovative solutions for a world with life on-the-go. Many people often search for “to-go” convenience as we move through our busy lives. However, not many products are available for the ones being more mindful and conscious of the impact our busy lifestyle has upon the planet.

Stainless steel durability ensures its long life, but if it should need to be disposed of, it is 100% recyclable.

In addition, To-Go Ware uses sustainably harvested bamboo for all utensils. Bamboo was chosen because it’s incredibly durable, beautiful, long lasting and does not stain or absorb food flavors.

Lucky Vitamin is happy to announce the introduction on another brand of eco-friendly products: LunchBots.

LunchBots offers a superior line of plastic-free solutions to reduce the use of plastic. Created to improve school lunches, this family-owned business is truly concerned about the safety of plastic and its impact on the environment.

Plastic is everywhere: dishes, toys, food packaging and many other things we use daily, and many products contain toxic additives. Plastic color, texture, and hardness can all be changed to improve performance or reduce cost, even though the additives used might be potentially dangerous.

Many household products contain additives, such as adipates and phthalates, which may become an issue when plastic comes into contact with food. Traces of these chemicals can leach out of the plastic, exposing your family to their harmful effects. Bisphenol A (BPA) is one of the most popular toxic chemical additives, commonly found in plastic baby bottles, water bottles, sports equipment, and most food and beverage cans.

Studies have shown that certain additives can cause harmful developmental effects on children, potentially impacting allergies, hormones, and metabolism. New studies are beginning to show that the convenience of plastic simply isn’t worth the risk to our health.

It’s also important to consider the environmental impact of plastics as, unlike paper, glass, or wood, plastics aren’t biodegradable or easily reusable, resulting in landfills, and polluting the ocean or wildlife areas.

LunchBots is dedicated to creating safe alternatives to plastic products. Glass, stainless steel, bamboo, and other materials are just as effective and don’t have any of plastics’ inherent dangers. LunchBots stainless steel lunch containers are healthier than plastic and better for the environment. Both containers and lids are made from the highest quality, 18/8 stainless steel and are perfect for snacks, salads, sandwiches, take out, and leftovers.

Guyot Designs is working hard to find recycling markets for every component of all of their products. The company’s core belief is that economic power can and should be used to fund the best and cleanest technologies, the fairest and most sustainable labor practices and the design of products which enhance peoples’ experience and understanding of the natural world.

If you ever check garbage containers, the large ones picked up by private companies a couple times per week, you’ll be amazed by the amount of recyclable products mixed with regular trash. For lack of better words, people are trashing the trash and also trashing a great opportunity to protect our environment.

This problem is happening everywhere; restaurants, public parks, offices, shopping centers and pretty much anywhere you can find trash containers.

Glass bottles, aluminum cans, cardboard and tons of plastic bottles are thrown in regular garbage cans every day. Perhaps it’s time to really start educating people about recycling and if that doesn’t work, make new laws. We have plenty of silly laws but we don’t’ have enough laws to protect our planet.

You can do your part at home and at work, separating and recycling everything possible. Paper, cardboard, plastic, glass and aluminum should never go with your regular garbage. If you don’t have a recyclable place near your house, try to find a public place and weekly dispose your recyclable garbage. Use different trash cans and bags for the stuff you can recycle.

Remember, recycle is not just what you do with trash, it’s also everything you can reuse and avoid throwing out, minimizing waste. Try to reuse plastic bottles as well as containers. Grocery reusable bags are a great way to minimize plastic waste, reducing the number of millions of grocery plastic bags given at grocery stores every day. Do you part. The planet Earth says “thank you”.

Summer is almost over and it’s time to go back to school. Lucky Vitamin is your source of eco-friendly supplies for the upcoming school year.

Hit the books the green way and take advantage of our incredible selection of recycled, environmentally friendly school supplies. From notebooks to index cards, from recycled correction tape to biodegradable pens, Lucky has everything to make a green return to school.

Lucky Vitamin fully supports environmentally friendly companies, hoping our customers can help this great cause as well. Parents should keep in mind that paper has a significant impact on our environment. The average person in the U.S. consumes about 700 lbs. of paper per year, making the U.S. the largest consumer of paper in the world.

An average of 90% of the printing and writing paper comes from virgin tree fiber and, once used, paper generally ends up in the municipal waste, counting for more than 40% of the total waste in landfills.

Furthermore, producing recycled paper causes 74% less air pollution, 35% less water pollution, and creates five times the number of jobs than producing paper from trees. It saves old-growth trees, forest eco-systems, native habitat and biodiversity.

Additionally, Lucky is offering biodegradable pens, made from corn-based material. The majority of its components are intended to be disposed of in your own backyard. Biodegradable pens are a very cool idea to promote a “green” return to school and protect our planet Earth.

Reusable products can be used time and time again. Lunch bottles and food containers are one of the best ways to protect our planet Earth and save some money. Lucky Vitamin is proud to offer a complete line of “green” products with more than 150 choices from water bottles to lunch containers. If a significant number of students could switch to “green” reusable products, the amount of waste nationwide will drastically reduce and the planet will be greener.

Outdoor activities are very common in the summer. The opportunity to be outdoors gives us a chance to be a little closer the Mother Nature. However, we should always respect and protect our environment wherever you are, whatever you do.

Beaches, national parks and local parks are perfect places for picnics in the summer and early fall but people often leave plastic plates, water bottles and all types of trash behind. We can advise people to pick up their garbage but we can also use more eco-friendly options of picnic supplies.

Lucky Vitamin is constantly thinking about our planet Earth, thus we have created an Eco Friendly Picnic and Party category, where customers can find over sixty different products and enjoy an earth friendly time outdoors this summer. We are proud to offer a 100% eco-friendly selection of products including reusable dinnerware, disposable or reusable plates. You can shop for recycled items such as plastic cups, paper towels, napkins, plastic forks, knives and spoons.

Look for alternative tableware products, better for the environment than traditional plastic. Made from GMO free cornstarch resin, these products are biodegradable in a few months and cut-resistant making them both strong and durable. In addition, you should use eco-friendly products for your food storage as well, like containers and bowls, creating a complete eco-friendly atmosphere at your next picnic.

Don’t forget the garbage bags. Cleaning up is essential for any outdoor activity and you must ensure nothing is left behind. Lucky offers recycled trash bags made from recycled plastic to help reduce pollution and save energy and trees.

Lucky Vitamin is proud to introduce another top quality eco-friendly brand: Fuji EnviroMax.

Fuji EnviroMax offers environmentally-respectful batteries with unexcelled power and uncommon responsibility. The company is dedicated to setting environmental standards, leading the way by setting rigorous safety and quality control standards to produce battery products that are safe for users and to the environment.

At one time, all batteries were made with mercury and cadmium. Both of these heavy metals have been proven to be harmful to the environment. Fuji Batteries decided to change this and confront this environmental danger head-on.

Fuji EnviroMax has developed an entire line of batteries without the use of materials like mercury and cadmium, and any other material hazardous to the environment. All batteries bring a long-overdue dimension of eco-responsibility along with unsurpassed power and longevity. Independent tests show Fuji EnviroMax batteries equal, and most often, exceed the performance and longevity of equivalent major brands.

The materials used for Fuji EnviroMax batteries are derived from the basic elements of the Earth. Nothing inside a Fuji EnviroMax battery will harm the environment if disposed through normal waste systems. All batteries contain no harmful mercury or cadmium, nor are they packaged with dangerous, non-recyclable, PVC plastic.

Fuji EnviroMax batteries are labeled and packaged with recycled paper and P.E.T. plastic and ozone-depleting compounds have been eliminated in the production of all batteries.

At first glance, all batteries look the same as they’re all the same size and fit snuggly into one of the many portable electronic devices that have become very common in our everyday lives. Most of us never even give a thought to how batteries are made or what harm they can do to our environment once they are discarded. Fuji EnviroMax has been dedicated to developing one of the most environmentally respectful batteries on the planet for 20 years.

Lucky Vitamin is proud to present another eco-friendly brand to our customers: World Centric.

World Centric provides high quality compostable food service disposables and food packaging products for use in schools, corporate cafeterias, restaurants, hospitals, and parties.

This Eco friendly line of products is made of renewable resources like corn, sugarcane, and wheat straw fiber. Sugar cane and wheat straw fiber are also discarded by-products of the agriculture industry, and considered one of the best sustainable alternatives to plastics and styrofoam.

World Centric was founded in 2004 with a mission to reduce economic injustice and environmental degradation through education, community networks, and sustainable enterprises. The company was founded to raise awareness of large scale humanitarian and environmental issues and to promote sustainable alternatives to every day consumption choices.

In 2004 World Centric hosted award winning documentaries and speakers on environmental, social, human rights and peace issues, offered courses on sustainability, simple living and globalization and worked on a Conscious Living guide. In order to be a self-sustaining organization, without requesting donations or grants, World Centric began selling Fair Trade products and compostable products in the beginning of 2005.

In 2010, World Centric offset all carbon emissions, and gave 25% of profits before taxes to grass root social and environmental organizations, and hope to move towards giving 100% of profits. The company’s overall mission, vision and values stayed the same since the beginning: to make a difference and create a more just and sustainable world.
