<DIV>Travis,</DIV>

<DIV>The companies that we have used for our "eco-swag" are below:</DIV>
<LI><A href="http://www.ecopromotionsonline.com/" target=_blank><FONT color=#0066cc>www.EcoPromotionsOnline.com</FONT></A>
<LI><A href="http://www.reuseit.com/" target=_blank><FONT color=#0066cc>www.ReuseIt.com</FONT></A> (you can even "shop by interest" and choose things made in the USA)
<LI><A href="http://www.planetearthpromotions.com/" target=_blank><FONT color=#0066cc>www.PlanetEarthPromotions.com</FONT></A>
<LI><A href="http://www.recycledproducts.com/" target=_blank><FONT color=#0066cc>www.RecycledProducts.com</FONT></A> </LI>
<DIV><BR>As a general rule, we always purchase items that are <EM>useful</EM> and consistent with our message. For example, we don't feel that buying those Livestrong-type bracelets are very useful for waste reduction or promotion. Alternatively, we have bought spoon/knife/fork sets to promote the use of reusable utensils vs. single-use. We have also purchased coffee tumblers, aluminum water bottles, bamboo thumb drives (as an alternative to printing), produce pouches (to incentivize people to not use the plastic produce bags at grocery stores), and cloth reusable bags. Finally, one of the most popular items are our recycling magnets - we have our recycling graphic printed on a magnet that people can put on their refrigerator, metal recycling bin, etc. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Hope this helps. Let me know if you have any questions.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thanks,</DIV>
