SodaStream is an "Active Green" product, meaning that consumers are actively reducing their CO2 footprint every time they make soda or sparkling water at home instead of buying it from the store. The more the system is used on a daily basis, the more CO2 footprint the user actively saves.

Using your own home carbonation system means:

•Less packaging waste from cans and bottles.
•Less pollution caused by transport of bottled beverages.

One SodaStream carbonator makes 60 or 110 liters, equivalent to 170 or 310 aluminum cans! When empty, the carbonator is refilled and reused, ready to make more fizzy and tasty soda whenever you want it.

Now, you can enjoy the best tasting soda on the planet ... and it's as easy as making coffee!
•Save space with concentrated sodamix and reusable carbonating bottles
•No more lugging and storing heavy, bulky bottles and cans
•No more hassles with empties in the trash or recycling bin

Manduka eKO Lite

This is a yoga mat that I would love to try. If bought from the Manduka website they give the proceeds of the salt to Off the Mat, Into theWorld, an organization dedicated to inspiring yogis to take the insight, self-knowledge, inspiration and activation that they get in their yoga practice out into the world!

It is High performance and environmentally friendly. The eKO Lite features Manduka's proprietary natural closed-cell rubber and comfortable sea-grass texture. It is light weight. It is biodegradable.

Here are its features:

• 3.5 lbs.; 68" x 24" x 1/8"
• Features an Off the Mat, Into the World Label
• Click here for a technical animation.
• Travel-friendly for the yogi on-the-go
• Made from non-Amazon harvested, natural tree rubber
• Most durable, eco-friendly mat available today
• Developed over 3 years by yoga teachers
• No PVC or toxic plasticizers

Tri Layer Technology for optimal combination of grip, durability and slip-resistance.

Grip & Durability (Top Layer): 'Sea Grass' surface texture is naturally grippy; the closed-cell surface keeps out moisture (sweat) from seeping into the mat and breeding bacteria for better durability.

Dual Function Cushion (Bottom Layer): Thicker, open-cell bottom layer provides lightweight cushion. It can also be reversed to function as the top surface for more traction. Just flip over for a sweatier practice!

Stretch-resistant Scrim (Center): Made from biodegradable cotton and polyester blend; Binds top/bottom layer together with heating process, eliminating need for toxic glues.

Natural & Biodegradable: Made from biodegradable, non-Amazon harvested tree rubber with non-toxic foaming agents and non-AZO dyes.

To clean it you can use diluted organic cider vinegar and water(50/50) and a damp cloth. To store make sure it is dry then roll it up. So this is super easy to clean and store.

This is a product I would love to try out and own soon. It costs $46 plus shipping on the Manduka website. I have always wanted one of these and would love to be able to get one through the BzzAgent Daily Bzz Campaign. Thanks for looking at this.

Steelhands by Jaida Jones

This was a very good book. It had a slow start for me but it was still a very good book. I loved the book. It had a good plot and a wonderful story. I think that it was one of the better books of this type that I have read.
The story is about dragons and the people who rode them. Then the new set of dragons and the people who are claimed by them. To say much more would give away the book and that is never good. IT has a good plot. It kept me interested.
This book was able to entertain me and keep me interested. I love the concept of the book as well. Fantasy books are always fun to read for me. I wish the beginning of the book would have been a little faster paced than it was but other than that, this was a very well written book.
I won this book in a goodreads giveaway and enjoyed it immensely. I would recommend it to anyone who loves fantasy and Science fiction books.
