Since Trading Cradles inception in late 2010 we have saved over 25,000 baby/toddler products from becoming land waste and trashing our planet.

That’s over 80,750 square feet of baby products…

In honor of Earth Day 2011 we are giving away gift cards to EcoMom.com. Here’s how you can win a gift card, help keep our planet green and have some fun.

 

1) Post a comment on our Facebook page with a creative tip on being green (required entry)

 

2) List as many items for sale as you can on TradingCradles.com, it’s free to post & free to sell. (optional entry but makes your prize greener, read below)

 

We will multiply the number of approved items you list for sale on Trading Cradles times $10.00 and that’s how much you will win.

Lets do the math…

Semi Green Participant: You complete the required entry and don’t post anything for sale and win the random drawing you get a $10 gift card to EcoMom.com

Super Green Participant: You complete the required entry and post 3 items for sale and win the random drawing you get a $30 gift card to EcoMom.com

All Mighty Green Participant: You complete the required entry and post 10 items for sale and win the random drawing you get a $100 gift card to EcoMom.com

The more items you list the more you can win ($250 cap per winner)

If you win one of the five drawings and haven’t posted an item or only posted one item for sale you will win a $10 EcoMom.com gift card. Gift cards will be capped at $250 per winner, which could amount to us giving away $1,250.00. All winners will be chosen using Random.org and you can only win once. All entries must be received before 5/01/2011 11:59pm PST the winners will be selected shortly after… see the official rules here

 

Trading Cradles Earth Day Tip: Start a Compost Pile

According to the Environmental Defense Fund, 18 percent of the waste in an average U.S. household comes from the yard and garden, a huge amount of mostly bio-waste that can be returned to the garden.

The composting process essentially involves setting aside certain types of organic waste apart from normal trash and collecting it in a composting bin somewhere outside, where it decomposes and becomes a nutrient-rich soil additive or fertilizer.

Not only does this reduce waste in the dumps, it reduces the energy spent to take it there, can save you money on soil and fertilizer, reduces the use of chemical fertilizers, and plants love it!

A lot of kitchen waste (except meats, oils and bones) and most yard waste (except seeds, roots and large branches) can be used. To see a full list of what can be composted, go here.
