Green Ideas from WBU
EcoTough™ Birdfeeders and Bird Houses - These are environmentally friendly, high quality products that are made from recycled plastic milk jugs. These feeders and houses prevent milk jugs from making their way into our landfills. They won't crack,fade, or rot and each has a lifetime guarantee. Feeder types include several styles of Hopper Feeders and Tray Feeders, Tail Prop and Upside Down Suet Feeders, Peanut Feeders, a Woodpecker Feeder, and an Oriole Fruit and Jelly Feeder. Wren and Bluebird Houses are also available in recycled plastic. For example a Single Tail Prop Suet feeder keeps 8 milk jugs out of a landfill, while a Bluebird House uses from 34-37 milk jugs.
Heartwood Bird Houses - made of reclaimed Cypress Wood, (i.e., cypress trees that have fallen and are salvaged from swamps)
Par-a-sol® Hummingbird Feeders - made in Mexico, is made of recycled glass
Reusable shopping bags - made of recycled plastic that we sell, plus if our customers bring them in on later visits, we donate 25 cents each time to a local conservation group
Audubon™ flags - decorative garden flags made of recycled plastic
Songbird Coffee™ - shade grown (along with organic and fair trade). Most coffee is grown in the sun, which requires cutting down habitat.
Tree-Free Greetings® cards - made of Sweetpaper™ which is made from sugar-cane waste - a recycled post-agricultural by-product that would otherwise be landfilled. Plus it prevents millions of trees from being cut down
Ecolips® - an organic lip and skin care product that is made in Cedar Rapids at a solar powered factory
PetPromise® - a high end line of dog and cat food that is sourced from small family farms where no antibiotics or hormones are used, there is no rendered byproduct used, and it is artificial color, flavor and preservative free
Fresh Wave® - a natural odor neutralizer that's safe to use around pets and people. It's made from simple ingredients: natural extracts of lime, pine needles, aniseed, clove, cedar wood and soya - but no chemicals
