We all know about using the recycling bin and using reusable grocery bags, but how else can we live our values at home — whether they’re environmental, political, religious, moral, social, or otherwise?
Sam Davidson and Stephen Moseley tackle the question of living according to your values in their book New Day Revolution, along with dozens of tips for bringing positive action into every part of your day. The winner of today’s contest will receive a copy of the book, plus an environmentally-friendly coffee mug and a bag of Fair Trade coffee to drink from it.
But that’s not all! The folks at dbclay wallets seem to have the knack of living by their values, creating wallets that are not only gorgeous but eco-friendly as well — made of tough yet bio-degradable materials. A dbclay wallet is something you can be proud to keep in your pocket as a constant reminder that art and ethics can go hand-in-hand.
To win, we’re asking for your thoughts on living your values. But first, let’s see more about these prizes.
New Day Revolution
New Day Revolution: pega esta imagen en tú pagina, Foro, Myspace o Ebay con este código...
 New Day Revolution shows you how to make big changes in the world by making small changes in your everyday life. For example,walking into the Starbucks to get your coffee, rather than going through the drive-through, saves gas and gives you a little exercise, allows you a moment or two of social interaction, and probably won’t take any more time than the drive-through — in fact, if there are cars in front of you, it might be even quicker. It might not end the world’s problems, but it’s a good way to express your values, and if enough people follow your lead, it brings us a step closer to a better day. Learn more about Davidson and Moseley’s book in my review of New Day Revolution.
Cool Coffee Combo: pega esta imagen en tú pagina, Foro, Myspace o Ebay con este código...
 The Cool People Care Eco-Friendly Travel Mug is made of renewable corn plastic, not petroleum-based plastic, and comes with a bag of Higher Ground Fair Trade coffee. Not only does Fair Trade mean the people who grew and harvested the coffee beans were paid a decent, livable wage for their work (exploitation and even slavery are rampant in the coffee industry), but the makers of Higher Ground dedicate a portion of their proceeds to preserving the Appalachian Trail — and it tastes great. A win-win-win all around. (Retail price of book+coffee+mug: $32)
dbclay Wallet
The folks at dbclay know a thing or two about backing up your values with action. They produce wallets that even Picasso would be proud to carry — gorgeous, colorful, creative images printed onto practical wallets with 2 large money-sized pockets and 4 ID/credit card slots.
And they’re made of ?Tope?, a durable, heat- and cold-resistant, waterproof, nontoxic, PVC-free synthetic fabric, and printed with environmentally-friendly inks.
The winner will get their choice of dbclay “Version 3.1″ wallets, subject to availability. (Retail price: $48)
