USA Made Green Products
Red White Blue and Green
Two of my most important goals include supporting our economy by buying USA made products when there is one available, and protecting our environment buy buying products that are Eco-friendy. When I can accomplish both of these goals simultaneously, I like it even better. This lens focuses on products that meet both of these requirements. I hope you will join me in supporting these companies. Without our continued support it will become even harder to find products that fit this market.

I try to always buy items that are...
Ecosystem
a complete system of planners and journals designed to meet your unique needs
Ecosystem notepads are not only made in the USA, but they also are made from 100 percent post-consumer recycled paper. They come in a variety of sizes and colors and contain a pocket in back which can hold accessories that they sell separately. They are available in ruled, blank, grid and calendar formats. These notebooks can be purchased either with a hard cover or a flexi cover. These are beautiful notebooks and I love the vivid colors available.

If you have never used a Bamboo washcloth then you should definitely try one now. They are just so wonderfully soft, you will never touch another ordinary washcloth to your face again.
Nordic Ware

@jcamdenbow: I love how soft the bamboo cloth feels. I have sheets, wash cloths and clothes made from it. It makes great baby clothes as well. Something soft enough for their delicate skin.
I have always wanted to get bamboo sheets. I finally decided to go ahead and get them. I just love them. I can't explain why they are so different, besides the green factor, but I will never go back to the other kind.
Awesome collection of products :)
Yes, many. For example, search the web for organic soaps. Most of these are made by small business owners.
It is heartwarming to see so many Made in USA products, especially green and eco-friendly ones.
Lots of great products are made in USA, love it! Avalla products are too, I use Avalla Clean for all my cleaning and I'm adding this lens to my Avalla Story so more people can find you great info:)
Awesome selections - nice to see green stuff MADE in the USA, as well. Blessed by a SquidAngel!
I like Bio-Kleen laundry soap and cleaning products. Always good to learn about more though.
You've covered the ones I know about it off the top of my head and included some I did not know about. Thank you for compiling this list. I'm always looking for Made in America and made environmentally and socially responsibly. You are providing an excellent service.
I especially like the brightly colored notebooks on 100 percent PCW paper and the toys.
Very informative article
Great lens, have you ever made your own paper? It's fun and kids love it.
Excellent lens! We should all be more aware of where our products are coming from. SquidAngel Blessed!
I look for products made from recycled material and I do recycle myself, the greener the better. Thanks
No, but I am not from USA. I know a lot green products made in Slovenia on the other side...
Never hear about Nordic Ware before. Looks like a great idea for a gift in near future, thanks!
I always try to purchase products that were made in the USA. Important to reuse materials, plus support Americans
Loved learning about these green, USA made products. Great lens!!
We stopped dinking around with foreign made coffee makers and cooking pans and went back to using our good old reliable stainless steel US made stove top coffee pot and antique cast iron pans.
Bamboosa is my fave! Thank you for a great lens. It's encouraging to see there are still buying options in the USA
I try to always eat food that is organic and grown in the US. Thanks for the lens. Good job!
I use Watkins products. They are awesome...green, organic, natural, and started by Dr. Watkins in the 19th century. They are based in Winona, MN

How about Bio-based Remanufactured Printer Cartridges. Made in America. Every pound of soy toner manufactured, saves 2 liters of petroleum. Price is comparable to OEM petroleum based toner cartridges. Print quality is comparable to OEM. Print yield is comparable to OEM. Soy oil is used in the toner formula â a fully renewable, non-petroleum resource. At least 90% of all soybeans are fed to livestock AFTER extracting the oil. Soybeans are not a staple crop â there is no threat to the human food supply. Recycled virgin OEM cores are used â reduced landfill waste. Use SoyPrint's UPS return labels to send empty cartridges back to be recycled into various new plastic products. SoyPrint⢠cartridges are fully warranted. While soy ink has been available for some time, this is the first time a Soy-based option has been available in laser cartridges. www.martinsgotyoucovered.com
Valuable topic. Made USA for green products can be considerably strengthen as we are able to focus on reforesation as a key need in USA. thanks for the discusison.
Thanks for publishing this site. I makes it easy for me to find Eco friendly products that are made here in the USA. I love this site. I use it as one of my references when looking for products.
not that I can think of at the moment, I guess that's sad indeed. really good lens you've got here, enjoyed my visit on it, thank you.
Impressive lens, thumbs up
Go green and save the World. Beautiful lens.
Woah! I'm bookmarking this lens! Thanks for all the great ideas and doing the research for us!
A very noble lens - both of those aims seem worth the effort of supporting. Especially the green efforts.

@hsschulte: Thank you. I truly appreciate your recognition.
~Blessed by the green living angel and hope to see more soon!
One of my favorite green and local toy shops is Willow Toys. These are all hand made wooden toys with safe finishes, made in New Hampshire and shipped free. The designs of the play kitches, doll houses, play stands and other items is carefree and thoughtful. I try to live/shop/eat local as much as possible - it's a challenge to buy green and made in USA these days, but in Vermont it's almost a mantra to support local and grow your own.
Good way of contributing to US-based companies and the local economy!
This is the beginning of a really great lens. I'm blessing it in anticipation of more green products made in the USA.
