Turn the Tide is an innovative program that Americans are using to make a difference for our environment. Turn the Tide offers nine simple actions almost anyone can take and then instantly shows the positive impact of each reported action. 

None of Turn the Tide’s nine actions involve drastic changes in your life, yet each packs an environmental punch. In fact, every thousand participants prevent the emission of 4,000,000 pounds of climate-warming carbon dioxide every year.

And that’s just one benefit. Turn the Tide participants are also saving thousands of trees, millions of gallons of water, and protecting endangered species, and all through nine simple actions almost anyone can take.

Participation is free. When you sign up, you’ll receive a personal workspace to use to track your actions and impact. You’ll also see the cumulative impact of all participants across North America.

Watch this short Trend Hunter Magazine’s video of an outstanding group of ecoterrific gifts ranging from lamps made out of garbage or tampons (I know, eww), underwear made out of aluminum cans to cardboard taxidermy even PETA would approve.  Now you can enjoy an animal head in your family room without feeling guilty.

For more information about the individual products featured in the video, head over to the article, “About the Video” by Jeremy Gutsche, chief Trend Hunter.  Not all of the products featured in the video can be purchased; however, they could be replicated. So, get busy creating your own piece of art.

Let me know your favorite product.  Mine is definately the Stuart Haygarth’s Chandelier .   Gotta have it.
