The 'Back to School' vibe is in the air, which makes it a perfect time to talk about books… and what a perfect promotional business gift they can be for eco-responsible companies and non-profits.

Books as a business gift say a lot about your company. They are unique in their ability to inspire, motivate, educate and entertain those who receive them. Unlike any other promotional gift, books can open a dialog between your brand and the outside world as well as emphasize your company's core values internally.

Ecoswag.com has teamed up with The Book Company to offer our clients the largest selection of books anywhere for business giving. Any book you choose can be customized to make it uniquely your own - including logo-decorated front covers, custom full-color page inserts and completely custom book jackets. Here are a few of the eco-themed titles we've recently added to our site:

Green Business
The Little Green Guide to Biking to Work
Climate Change
Greening Your Office

SIGG CEO Steve Wasik called EWG’s President, Ken Cook, earlier today to discuss our response to his recent announcement that SIGG water bottles did in fact contain the toxic chemical bisphenol A (BPA) in its liners until August 2008.

As you likely know, Wasik’s announcement has caused an uproar because the company led consumers and retailers to believe that its products were free of BPA. In doing so, SIGG capitalized and profited on consumers’ clear preference in recent years to avoid products made with the chemical.

Nothing Mr. Wasik said changed our view about SIGG’s discredited efforts to mislead consumers and retailers about its products.

We sent this letter today to the co-CEOs of The Riverside Company, the private equity firm that owns SIGG, asking for a public apology and a refund offer - not an exchange policy where jilted consumers are forced to drink from another SIGG water bottle with who-knows-what in it. We wrote:

On behalf of the Environmental Working Group…

Kitchens reflect our personalities.  They are the heart of the house.  As much as you want the kitchen to be durable, you yearn for it to create a piazza that stops everyone in their tracks.   And the crown jewel?  Of course, the countertops.  I compare countertops to a scrumptious topping of a delicious cake,  beaconing you take that first bite.

With everyone going green these day can you have your cake and eat it too?  Durability, glam and green all rolled up into one?  The makers of Vertrazzo think so, with their selection of 19 different colored recycled glass counter-tops  that are durable yet have an unmistakable glimmer that will light up any kitchen. Eighty five (85%) percent of the components of the countertops are composed of  recycled glass, with a majority coming from post-consumer sources. The balance is a non-resin binder of Portland cement.  No petroleum resins or additives are…
