Are You Recycling Your Electronics? We can all get a bit 'leaner' and 'greener'!

I am a Spring Baby and with the end of Daylight Savings Time coming soon, and signs of Spring popping up everywhere, my mind is on Spring Cleaning, the closet purging that will make room for some fun summer fashions, and a purge of a very different kind as well. An 'electronics purge'.

I don't know about you but there are old phones, TV's and other outdated tech that I have been meaning to get rid of, but it has piled up. With some of it, (many of you I am sure can relate to this), I kept as a 'backup'. (Especially with some of the phones). But I've never touched those backups and in some cases have gone on to newer technology well past their immediate replacements.

As a renter, space is at a premium and there isn't really the luxury of allowing outdated items to pile up. I've been actively trying to switch over to all Energy Star Certified Products and get a bit 'greener', which in turn helps you get 'leaner' as Energy Star Certified Products all save you money in the long run!

With my schedule, I need Recycling to be simple and easy and with my budget, I definitely need it to NOT be a burden. So how do you do something good for the environment AND you? I'm so glad you asked!

Ascending Butterfly Holidays Buying Guide 2010, Fourth Giveaway sponsored by:

We are so happy to have our friends at CleanRest® back this year for our holiday gift guide. As a New Yorker where Bed Bugs are taking over the town and where even if you are maniacal about cleaning, dust bunnies still try to take over, it's important to use brands in my home that allow me to feel certain that I am doing the best I can to reduce allergans and keep dust levels at bay!

When we last worked with CleanRest® we told you all about their Pillows and Mattress Covers (see HERE to refresh your memory), during the giveaway when we asked you to tell us which other product caught your eye, most of you picked the Allergy Blocking Window Panels. So thanks to your popular demand, we are very happy to offer them to you now.

About the Allergy Blocking Window Panels:

CleanRest® window panels are made using a patented textile technology called MicronOne®. This technology creates a very unique pore structure that prevents micro-organisms like dust mites from colonizing in the fabric its self, as a result the waste that dust mites produce will not build up over time in the window panel like what happens in regular window panels that don’t use MicronOne® technology.

In every home, there are various airborne micro-toxins like pet dander and pollen that build up naturally over time on all surfaces. In order to remove this build up, surfaces need to be cleaned. CleanRest® window panels can easily be wiped down or washed in a home laundry machine and tumble dried like any set of bed sheets or household laundry, making them easy to keep clean and remove the build up of other toxins that occur in every home.

Blocks dust mites, mold spores, pollen and pet dander

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ - BPA Free, Phthalate Free, No VOCs

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ - Machine washable

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ - Includes one rod pocket panel with back tabs

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ - Fits up to 2" diameter rod

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ - Fully Lined

I love these curtains and basically now want a pair in EVERY color!

Ascending Butterfly Holidays Buying Guide 2010, Second Giveaway sponsored by:

Last year I had the opportunity to review and host a giveaway of the Activeion Pro, you can read that review HERE. Today we are launching Giveaway #2 in our Annual Holidays Buying Guide, this is going to be an amazing countdown to Christmas! You are not going to want to miss a day.

When I tried the Pro Unit last year, I found it to be the best 'green' cleaning product I had ever used. And use it I did! However, after just under a year into using the Pro Unit, the battery wouldn't hold it's charge as long. When I want to tackle big jobs, I can't constantly have the battery losing it's charge or needing to be re-charged mid-stream. While the product itself has not lost it's efficacy, and still can tackle big cleaning jobs, the battery issue can become a bit annoying, if like me, you start with your goals set out of what you want to accomplish in a cleaning session and you have to stop and wait for the battery to charge itself again.

Unbeknowngst to me, team Activeion was taking various feedback about the Activeion Pro and making it more user-friendly for home use! They actually also re-made the Pro unit I tried, and have a newer version called the EXP which I have not tried yet. Some of the cons of the old Pro Unit was that even though it has a large water reservoir, it's also much heavier in the hand. And secondly, it doesn't hold a battery charge long enough after awhile to tackle time consuming jobs like windows. Apparently, they took these complaints to heart, and lo and behold the Activeion Ionator HOM was born!

The Activeion Ionator HOM makes all the changes I wanted to see happen with the Pro Unit. It's lighter and much more intuitive and ergnomic, making it easier to hold for extended periods of time and easier to use. The battery life on this unit is a much bigger improvement from the model I used last year. The Ionator HOM holds it's charge MUCH longer, and does not require recharges as quickly as last year's Pro Unit. When I first saw it, I wondered if it could tackle the tough jobs as effectively as the Pro Unit I tried does, and I am happy to report it does! The smaller, prettier, design definitely marries form with function. I used it to tackle my toughest cleaning jobs, like Windows, Kitchen and Bathroom surfaces. I love that it Eliminates 99.9% of harmful germs including H1N1 and E. coli! And does it without harmful chemicals! Specifically, I love that it does not trigger my allergies or induce asthma, it's good for those to clean with who have any types of sensitivies and it's good for the environment as well. It's definitely all about living greener and cleaner. And the fact that you are saving money in the process is a HUGE bonus! You tackle various jobs with ONE product that utilizes tap water! Which also means less bottles, and less clutter in the cabinets! (LOVE that!)

If you have a clean freak in your life, they will not stop thanking you if they found this under the tree! I also highly recommend this for anyone with young adults going off to College. They have very limited space, and that space is shared by a large amount of people. The Activeion Ionator HOM is a portable and super convenient option for them, they can store it in a drawer in their desk or under their bed and get in the habit of making sure they wipe down their desk, headboard and phone every single day. They also wouldn't have to worry if they have a super allergic roommate since this product won't trigger an allergic reaction in anyone with allergies or sensitivities. And anything that can help them eliminate spreading common colds around the dorm is a great idea! (Just make sure they follow the instructions and use it properly to maximize it's effectiveness!)

The Activeion Ionator HOM is also an excellent gift for a young bachelor who just got a new apartment! or a young lady or a young couple just starting out! Trust me, it's the gift that keeps on giving, and will be remembered long after the holiday season is over.

This is definitely a thoughtful gift; it saves the recipient time and money and gives them what we all want, the cleanest and safest possible environment in our homes!

I am super happy with the improvements that have been made, and highly recommend the Activeion Ionator HOM.

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ - WIN IT! - Ascending Butterfly and our friends at activeion.com would like to provide 1 Ascending Butterfly Follower with an Ionator HOM of their own!

It is very easy being 'green' - Activeion Review and Giveaway

NOTE: Winner has been posted, announcement can be found HERE, congrats to reader 't42vek20'!

============================================

It just may be easy being green after all! Ascending Butterfly is a blog on a mission. Our mission statement is 'To seek out and share the best sources of inspiration both on and off the web'. Living Green has become this PC thing we all feel we should be doing, but sometimes don't know where to start.

There is more to being Green than CFL bulbs! Don't get me wrong they are an incredible start. But I wanted to extend my knowledge a bit, and I wanted to find alternative solutions to the chemical laden cleaning products in my kitchen cabinets! I knew if I wanted to know what other solutions are out there, that you would too.

And then Eureka! One of my favorite talk show hosts, Ellen DeGeneres featured this product on her show, and I thought it was pure genius. I have had over a month now to test out the Activeion Pro.

How does the Activeion technology work?

What is Activeion?

The Activeion hand-held sprayer transforms tap water into a powerful cleaner that works as well as or better than other general-purpose, commercial chemical and "green" cleaning products. Using an advanced technology, the Activeion hand-held sprayer is a general-purpose, daily-use cleaner that can be used on both hard (i.e., marble/granite and stainless steel) and soft surfaces (i.e., carpet and clothing), freeing consumers and professionals from harmful chemicals and toxins. The versatility of the product allows the user to replace many of today's most common daily-use cleaners.

Activeion transforms tap water into a powerful cleaner through a simple, three-step process:

1. Charging: When the trigger is pressed, the water flows through a water cell that applies a slight electrical charge to the tap water.

2. Transforming: Next, the water passes through an ion exchange membrane where the activated water is separated into an oxygenated mixture of positively and negatively charged nano-bubbles.

3. Cleaning: When applied, the transformed, activated water helps lift the dirt from the surface like a magnet, enabling it to be wiped away. The activated water returns to its natural state after 30-45 seconds.

My Experiences with the Product:

I will say after over a month of use that I am very impressed with the ActiveIon Pro! I just couldn't imagine how this product would be able to use plain tap water and tackle my toughest stains. But it has. I love to cook and some of the stains I couldn't wait to tackle was cooking related sauce splattters! The ActiveIon Pro handled these with ease! It made stainless steel faucets and sinks sparkle. And much to my amazement, it handled a very old odd stain that I had tried for years to remove from the tile in my bathroom unsuccessfully with chemical cleaners! That's when I will admit I was 'sold'.

I will remind you when you use it, have your cleaning cloth already at hand, while it seems like 30-45 seconds is a generous amount of charge time, if you are not ready with cloth in hand, or you get distracted, the water will lose it's charge and you will have to re-spray the area.

Follow The Instructions

Fill the reservior with cool tap water only.
Do not fill with hot water.
Do not add anything to the tap water.
Do not fill while the unit is charging, and never, ever add chemicals.

Do The Math

How much do you spend monthly on chemical cleaners? Factor in every cleaner you use, floors, appliances, windows etc. Now multiply that number by 12! That is how much you will save per year using the ActiveIon Pro. Over the cost of it's lifetime not only is it saving you money, you are also ridding your home of dangerous chemicals, ridding your environment of those chemicals, and less plastics and overall product waste to pollute the environment. Now THAT my friends, is living green.

WIN IT! - We like to save the best for last! Thanks to our friends at ActiveIon, you have the opportunity to win an Activeion Pro of your own! (This is a $299 value!!!!)

How to Win: You must be a follower of Ascending Butterfly to be eligible for this and all giveaways. Indicate in your entry that you follow (this will be checked if you are selected as a winner) and please visit Activeion or watch their You Tube video and tell me something you learned about the product. Please leave your email address somewhere in your comment. (You can format it this way for security, example: ascendingbutterfly AT mail host DOT com), or if your blogger profile has your email you can just indicate this in your entry.

Please follow directions or you will be disqualified! All comments are moderated, they may not appear on the site right away. You have from now until Friday, September 25, 2009 at 11:59 PM (EST) to comment and be entered for a chance to win. Winner will be announced shortly after Tuesday, September 29th!
