Sun Candles Newsletter

message on soy candles and green home
living

Welcome to Bright Sun Candles. We create
candles of excellent quality and ingredients, that are
also naturally beautiful and environmentally
friendly.
Bright Sun Candles are
hand-poured in Saint Paul, Minnesota from the wax of
American-grown soybeans. Our candles are scented
with only essential oils. We use no artificial
scents and no dyes or artificial colors. Like all
soy wax candles, our candles are clean &
long-burning and made from a natural wax that is a
sustainable resource.
We invite you to
experience the natural beauty of Bright Sun
Candles.
Sincerely,

Green
Home Living Tip of the
Month
So
you already buy your produce at the local farmers
market, remember your reusable bags from your
trunk and are converting your light bulbs to
CFL's?
Here
are a few more ideas that were new to us and may
be to you also. Any step, even a small one, that
leaves a smaller imprint on our world is a
positive one:
Throwplace
Sort
of like Freecycle, but non-profits can also
register for stuff that's ready to give
away.
http://www.throwplace.com/
Egg
Cartons
Most
small chicken/egg farmers will gladly take used
egg cartons to recycle. Want to know where your
nearest farmer's market is? Check out
Reuse
Plastic Bags
They're
good to reuse, but washing them in the
sink can be a pain. New idea, toss them in
the dishwasher to clean them for their next
use.
Make Your
Own Reusable Bag
Got
an old t-shirt? Simply turn the t-shirt
inside out and stich along the bottom hem. Now
turn that t-shirt back and cut along the arm
holes. You now have a one of a kind grocery
shopping bag that will put those plastic grocery
bags to shame. If
you have other suggestions, email us or post them on our
Facebook page.
