This week my eco-friendly obsession is: COUPONS.  I use coupons every single week to shave as much as possible off my grocery spending.  I also rarely, and I mean rarely go out to shop for clothes, shoes, housewares, books, heck even restaurants – without FIRST looking for a coupon.  Not making the effort to coupon is like leaving your change there on the counter after the cashier hands it to you — absurd! 

So, I got to thinking — there are many mobile coupon opportunities out there, but what I would really love is if we went to a universal mobile-coupon format.  If you consider the number of printable coupons available and couple that with all of the weekly circulars that make their way into the hands of couponers all over the country (like me!), it sure does amount to a whole LOT of paper!  Wouldn't it be so very cool for there to be a standard mobile couponing app so that we could cut down on the amount of waste, which ironically couponing moms like me, are trying to avoid?!  Would you be more apt to couponing if this sort of thing were available?

Someone please get on that.  Stat.

I'll take this opp to go ahead and remind you that I was recently invited to particpate in Scott Naturals 4-week Test Drive.  They are doing some fantastic things to celebrate the planet and are also attempting to save 2 million trees! Now, THAT'S inspring?! All it takes is using their eco-friendly paper towels, toilet paper, and flushable wipes for just 4 weeks! Our Earth will thank you!

Scott Naturals is also looking out for the cute little critters of the world! For every unique visitor who takes the pledge, Scott Naturals will donate $1 to the National Wildlife Federation (up to $25,000). Again, how's THAT for inspiring?!

But wait, there's more! [insert cheesy television infomercial voice] — As part of this promotion, Scott will be giving away a Ford Fusion Hybrid Sedan to one lucky winner! Simply take the pledge and enter up to once per day through September 23, 2011.

Scott Naturals is also giving me the opportunity to give one of YOU a Scott Naturals Kit to help celebrate our environment!

 
The Kit includes paper towels, toilet paper, and moist flushable wipes. One winner will be picked each week! Here's how to enter:
