This is one of the coolest things I’ve gotten in my e-mail recently.  So, I know you are wondering who, or what is Guffly?

Guffly, is a one product per day online store and community, featuring eco- friendly products and fair trade lifestyle goods.  Guffly.com, just launched on Tuesday August 11, 2009. The products offered there, are for your home, pets, clothing,office and personal accessories.  At Guffley,they know that people aren’t interested in ugly stuff,  so you can bet Guffly’s™  “green products” are stylish, fun and attractive.  As the team says, “eco-stylish, if you will.”

The name Guffly, is a combination of the words good and stuff with an -ly added at the end, to make it sound catchy.  At any rate, it is good stuff for good living.  The products offered are aimed at the young professional, college, and empty- nester markets.  There is not much available for younger children.

When visiting Guffly.com , be sure to hover over the Guffly Labels such as Recycled, Reusable, Organic, FTR (Fair Trade) Natural Sustainable, Biodegradeable and Energy.  Each product offered must fall into one or several of the Guffly labels. They give a definition for each of these labels.

As an example, their Fair Trade  products are sweat shop free.  Producers of the fair trade products were paid a fair wage fort their work.  By offering the sale of fair trade products, helps move their producers from a state of vulnerability, to a state of becoming empowered and self sufficient.

This is Guffly’s promise to you.  ” The products we choose to feature on Guffly.com have a less negative effect on the environment, people, and animals.  We love men and womens products that are Fair Trade, Recycled, Reusable, Biodegradable, Organic, Sustainable, Energy Saving, and Natural. You can be sure that any product that you’ll see on Guffly.com will fall into any of these categories.  We’re all about Personal Accessories, Home Accessories, Gadgets, Office Accessories, and of course Pet accessories. And, you can trust that all of the products that we choose to feature on Guffly.com will be researched using the Federal Trade Commission’s environmental guides, as well as the standards set forth by the Fair Trade Foundation to be sure that all environmental and fair trade claims are legitimate.”

Bloggers  help draw attention to a newly launching business, or just about anything new or news worthy on the web. It is my hope that you will consider what Guffly has to offer, by either shopping there on occassion, or visiting their blog, or both .   At the very least, you will be working toward a better and “greener” tomorrow!

It is my pleasure and goal to inform you about companies and products that can help you reach your goal for living a greener lifestyle.  GreenCulture is such a company.  Their goal is to promote products that are manufactured and designed with our planet in mind.

GreenCulture offers eco-friendly products, that are made from recycled materials, or that come from renewable and sustainable sources.  Enlightened Products is also something else they feature. These products may or may not be made with 100% eco-friendly products.  However, this company carries these type of products anyway, because they believe they are comparatively better for our environment, than similar products currently marketed.

Perhaps you are wanting to liven up or change your decor.  One of the simplest and most economical ways to do that is by using an area rug.  GCrugs.com, is home to one of the largest selections of area rugs on the web.  There diverse collection, brings you both selection and variety in many shapes and sizes.

If you are new to the idea of an area rug, you can relax and breathe easy.  Green Culture has a terrific buyers guide for you.  It answers your questions on rug basics, and offers guidance about what may be the best rug for you.  It even offers tips on how to decorate with your new rug.

Be sure and visit their Eco-Facts, where they offer their thoughts on rugs made from bamboo, wool, polypropylene, polyester, jute and sisal.  This will help you make an informed choice from their diverse collection of these popular textures and fibers.  They also have an extensive selection of traditional, braided, casual or contemporary rugs, that are meant to inspire your style and help you transform and complete your decor.

The philosophy of how this ” green” company, prefers to do business really caught my attention.  For this reason I think they will be around for quite some time to come, because they have an open and workable relationship with the manufacturers they do business with.

“At GREENCulture, we strive for a 100% planet friendly product mix. Manufacturers, however, many times make wonderful products which do not meet the stricter portions of our criteria. Manufacturers always LISTEN when we ask them to modify their products to be more in line with our environmental and enlightened products mission. However, manufacturers CHANGE their manufacturer processes and materials only when we show to them that we can send them a large volume of business. They know that we are a small and growing company, committed to making great changes but the volume of business we direct to them does not justify modifying their manufacturing processes to achieve our strict goals. We know that with the help and support of our customers, we will continue to grow, and as we do so we’ll work with our manufacturers to modify their manufacturing processes to get closer to meeting our strict criteria. ”

Based in Lake Forest, CA   Green Culture, promotes environmental conservation through sales of diverse environmentally-friendly furniture, lighting, rugs, compost and gardening products.   They are strictly an online based company, that also welcomes phone orders.  Another plus that they pride themselves for,  is that they can deliver anyhwere in a timely and effective manner.  Here’s to your making greener choices and working toward a better tomorrow.
