bGreen: Thoughts On Green

Congressman Barney Frank Visits the bGreen Mobile Showroom

The bGreen Mobile Showroom was one of the main attractions at the Newton Harvest Festival Green Solutions 2010 yesterday in Newton Centre, MA.   The Showroom was open for business and drew a large crowd, including our first celebrity/politician visit.



Congressman Barney Frank, of the Fourth Congressional District of MA, took the time to stop by the bGreen Mobile Showroom and learn about our business and products.  It was great to have Congressman Frank in and he was quite interested in hearing how bGreen came to be.

F. Rock Bags for Father’s Day

Top Sellers as of 5/3/2010

It’s been a very busy few week at bGreen.  We celebrated Earth Day with a week long discount of 20% off everything we sell.  The promotion was so successful that we extended it for a second week.



We attended the Boston EcoTweetup at Cafeteria on Newbury Street.  The EcoTweetups are always great events, and we were lucky enough to win one of the raffle prizes (thankfully not our own gift certificate that we donated!).  Be sure to check our blog often for details about the next event.



We brought our bGreen Mobile Showroom to the Sustainable Milton Home Fair.  We received a great response to the Mobile Showroom, our sample products, and our bGreen Home Consultation service.  If you want to learn more about what bGreen can do for your home, please email us.



As always, here are our Top Selling products:

1. Bite Reusable Bags



2. Chico Bags



3. Freeplay EyeMax Radio



4. HYmini Wind & Solar Charger



5. Klean Kanteen Insulated

Earth Day!

Happy Earth Day! Yes today is actually Earth Day. It’s hard to know exactly when it is because Earth Day seems to have turned into Earth Week. Which is just fine with us. In fact, we think there should be Earth Year…maybe that’s taking it too far. We might run out of events to go to. Speaking of Earth Day events, how about a recommendation? If you will be downtown tomorrow make sure to check out 9.25 The River’s Earth Day concert on the Greenway. You can read more about it here.



By now we are sure you’ve heard the news but just in case, here’s a friendly reminder. For this week bGreen is offering 20% off the entire site for Earth Day.







We thought about making a dance video featuring the “bGreen dancers” and some tips on how to make your Earth Day (and life) more green. Then we realized that we were the bGreen dancers. So rather than subject you all to us dancing, we are going to offer 20% off the whole site! No coupon necessary. Just place your order and you will be given 20% off.



Don’t worry. One day you’ll see a video of us dancing and sharing green tips but for now enjoy your 20% off at bGreen.



Also, make sure to look for the bGreen Mobile Showroom around Boston on today. Honk or say hello if you see us.

Some Thoughts on Tax Refunds

We were mentioned in an article on AOL’s WalletPop today, written by Kelly Phillips Erb.  Kelly was inquiring about what people are planning to do with their tax refunds.  Of course, we’re planning something green.  Give the article a read to find out exactly what’s in store.

How will you spend your tax refund? We’ve got some ideas

Green Mixer Tonight in Boston

Tonight is the first Green Mixer in Boston, being hosted at Cafeteria on Newbury Street.  The Green Mixer is geared towards bringing together Boston’s local sustainably oriented companies (like bGreen) with eco conscious consumers around town.  The event looks like it will be a great success.



Unfortunately, we are unable to attend tonight, as we have a prior engagement.  HOWEVER, we have donated two $25 bGreen Gift Certificates for the raffle.  So we’ll be there in spirit, and look forward to hearing all about the event.  Oh, and we look forward to the lucky winners having a nice mini shopping spree at bgreenlifestyle.com!
