Seven Planet

This past week we had a bride to be call seven planet with interest in planning a unique and eco-friendly gift for her bridesmaids.  She specifically loved the Naturally Knotty Bamboo Pashmina Wraps and wanted them for everyone on the bride’s side of the wedding party.  These soft and comfy wraps have been a best seller in the stores for some time and it is clear why as they are warm, softer than you can believe and super sustainable.  Bamboo is easily one of the most scalable plant-based materials in the world and is being leverage to build water-bottles, paper products, clothing and housing materials.

This was a great moment for the company and for our mindful supplier Naturally Knotty as this is the future of mindful commerce.  Working to provide alternatives for products, a wrap for bridesmaids for a potentially chilly outdoor wedding, that are a more earth friendly options and that are crafted to last a life time.  

For us at seven planet, quality and sustainability go hand in hand.  We work to carry products that are precycled, upcycled, recycled and closed looped, but we also work to carry products that are built like how our grandparents built products…to outlast any of us.  This is the ultimate product form factor, 1) made from a sustainable materials in a eco-friendly fashion, 2) sells at a comparable price to past solutions, 3) lasts a life time or more and 4) naturally degrades should it ever need to be or 5) is upcycled into another product going forward.

If every company in the world built products with mindful commerce as their base, we would rapidly decrease consumption of what we all purchase and pass off into the wasteland.  We are glad that one bride and one wedding party is putting a wrap on it.

This is the question that our parents have been asking us for years.  We now ask our kids the same question essentially every day.  Up until recently the “YES” answer to that question usually required that some chemically-based soap, detergent or cleaner to be in the equation.  Not anymore.  It is often difficult to find products that even purists would say are as eco and human-friendly as possible, but CleanWell and their team have created some.

We initially were introduced to their products by my wife’s best friend down in the Bay Area when we were driving to dinner and our son was covered in a food mask.  She passed us the CleanWell Sanitizing Wipes and my wife was hooked.  She read about them on the package and then went to their site that night and read the back story on why the products were created.  It is an inspirational story of a father working to provide his immuno-depressed son with effective cleaning options that would not add burden to his health.

The story made us loyal users and seven planet ordered the CleanWell line for the stores and for the site.  We are working daily to introduce eco moms to these simple and effective alternatives to some of the “leading” sanitizers, soaps and cleansers that are dominating their purses, car consoles and junk drawers.  So, we hope you try CleanWell’s full line of products and help change the question to, “Is It CleanWell?”…as that is all you need to know.

We believe the world would be a much better place if everyone said “please” and “thank you”, cell phones didn’t ring during movies, and all toys were fun, safe, and made from environmentally friendly materials. Since it’s probably no use holding our breath for those first two, we’re concentrating on the toys.

Green Toys Inc. makes an awesome line of classic children’s toys constructed from recycled plastic and other environmentally friendly materials. This helps reduce fossil fuel use and reduce greenhouse gas emissions, improving the overall health and happiness of the planet.
