Happy Earth Day & a Giveaway!!




Happy Earth Day everyone!! Are you doing your part to "go green"? A local Charlotte company is making it a little bit easier. Pure Sky Living has created a "reusable paper towel" system that is just fantastic. From Pure Sky Living, LLC: "Basically, you just grab a towel, use it, and collect the dirty towels in the basket for washing later. If you just dry your hands, you can then hang the towels on a kitchen knob and use again. Also, they need no folding."

Additional uses other than hand drying are:
●Wiping baby faces
●Use as a coaster for pitchers
●Catch drips under a colander
●Drying fruits and vegetables
●Wiping counters
●Spoon rest
●Dusting
●Use as single use towels for guests in the powder room

Their website addresses are:
www.ReusablePaperTowel.com
www.PureSkyLiving.com


The Giveaway: Pure Sky Living, LLC is giving one lucky QCB reader a "starter kit" that includes the reusable paper towels, the stand, and the basket for collecting the dirty towels. Head over to our Facebook Page to enter by 11:59pm on Thursday...name drawn Friday morning!

Blessings,
The Buzz
