Do Your Bit.. Save The World 1 Swapper A Time (glo

I have had this idea floating around my head for a couple of weeks now, and thought i would take the plunge and see how many of you will join me in this.

With the holiday seasons (halloween, thanks giving, christmas) just around the corner and the global need to protect our environment, i thought it would be a FUN AND USEFUL way to center a swap around energy saving/recycling.

I am not as green as i could (should) be, sure, i recycle my rubbish, i turn off appliances, i use reusable bags (when i remember to bring them) but im sure i could do more, so, if you are with me in that, then this swap is for you :)

We will have ONE partner, we will send this partner ONE energy saving/recycable item, that we have found useful. (this could be a handmade tote for shopping, tumble dryer balls, wash balls, handmade dishcloth, dispenser unit, measuring cups) PLUS you will send a small note/letter explaining what YOU do to be greener. (this could be turning off appliances, making less journeys in the car, turning the wash cycle to 30 instead of 40) You will wrap the package in an environmentally aware manner e.g. instead of wrapping paper, use a dishcloth/kitchen towel/piece of fabric, put the items in a box and wrap it the old fashioned way in brown paper, use a recycled envelope...

As this is an issue that touches ALL nations, all over the world, im making it an international swap. It will also be fascinating to see, how other countries promote environmental awareness.

This swap will be open to swappers with a rating of 4.8 +, no recent (3 months) unexplained no sends, newbies are welcome with a minimum of three MAIL swaps (i wont count email/postcard swaps for this) and a FULL profile

To sum it all up:

-One Partner (international) -One useful item to help save energy/environment -One letter with tips/hints what YOU do -Use recycled/environmental friendly packaging
