EcoGear Orang Utan Review & Giveaway Black Friday 9 pm est, 10 pm est, 11 pm est & 12 am Saturday

My family and I are trying our best to be “green”.  It’s not easy.  It is a full lifestyle change and a whole new way of thinking and living.  I prefer a lot of the organic items but some well I’ve not acquired a taste for yet.  This is however, not true for the company EcoGear!

They sent me an Orang Utan long sleeved Tee Shirt.  I love it but I made the mistake of opening the package in front of my daughter.  I have been fighting her for it ever since.  She already has it stashed to wear to school tomorrow.

The tee shirt is made from 100% recycled fibers and supports the Orang Utan rescue operation in Indonesia.  Palm Oil promotes heart disease and contributes to the destruction of rain forests and wildlife in Southeast Asia.  Palm oil is a substitute for trans fat but still contributes to heart disease.

Oil palm plantations are threatening to the habitats of Orang Utans, Rhinos, Tigers, Elephants and many other species.  Palm oil is added to many of the foods we eat every day.  EcoGear is trying to bring attention to this cause and educate people on the harms of palm oil.

Also included in my package were some Christmas cards.  They are beautiful is all I can say.  They are made from homemade paper, wire and misc items that are being recycled.  The insides have a piece of paper attached to write your own Christmas greetings on.  The cards came with a note enclosed that says.  “Purchase these eco-friendly and fair trade artifacts and help Sukuma to support local artisans and craftsmen.  These postcards are made in Kisumu out of the leafy green hyacinth weed.”

EcoGrear wanted me to showcase many of their items and at the same time bringing attention to their causes.  Below you will find some of the beautiful work you can find on their website for purchase.  If you are shopping for someone who has everything think of purchasing from their store or making a donation in their name.
