Earth Day is just around the corner, making it the perfect time to reevaluate our efforts to be more eco-friendly. Are you doing everything you can to reduce your carbon footprint and protect our planet for future generations?
Indoor Air Quality Matters
Did you know that indoor air pollution can be more harmful than outdoor pollution? Many common household items, like plug-in air fresheners and synthetic candles, release harmful chemicals into the air. Instead, consider using a diffuser with high-quality essential oils Studies show that indoor air pollutants can be 2-5 times higher than outdoor levels, so it’s crucial to make eco-conscious choices at home.
Choose Green Cleaning Products
Traditional cleaning products can contain harmful chemicals that impact both our health and the environment. Consider switching to plant-based cleaning products like PÜR Evergreen’s All-Purpose Cleaner, which uses only plant-based ingredients, high-quality essential oils, and food-grade hydrogen peroxide. Not only are these products effective at cleaning, but they also kill up to 99.9% of germs!
Combat Dust and Pollen
Dust is not just dirt; it’s a combination of various particles, including pollen, human and animal hair, dead skin cells, and more. To reduce dust in your home, use a doormat to wipe your shoes or even consider removing your shoes indoors. Additionally, investing in an air purification system can help purify the air in your home, reducing odors, pollen, dander, and more.
Join the Plogging Movement
Looking for a fu and eco-friendly workout? Try plogging! This new trend combines jogging with picking up trash along your route. Not only does it help keep your community clean, but it also adds an extra calorie-burning element to your workout.

Here is the recipe and directions to making seed paper!
It's perfect for crafting homemade cards, tags, or even wedding invitations that can later be planted in the soil. I made this with my kids when they were younger!
Here's a simple recipe to get you started:
What you will need:
- Scrap paper (avoid glossy paper)
- Seeds (wildflower or herb seeds work best)
- Water
- A blender
- A strainer
- A shallow pan, cookie sheet or baking dish (larger than the size of paper you want to make)
- A piece of screen or mesh (cut to fit inside the pan) I ask in the free groups for this!
- A sponge or absorbent towels
- Rolling pin (optional)
- A few sheets of non-stick baking paper or cloth
Instructions:
Tips:
- Choosing Seeds: Pick seeds that are small and hardy; wildflowers, herbs, and some vegetables work well. Ensure they're suitable for the growing conditions where they'll be planted.
-Using Seed Paper: When ready to plant, simply place the seed paper on the surface of the soil in a pot or garden, cover lightly with more soil, water well, and keep moist until germination.
- Gift Idea: Seed paper makes a thoughtful gift or party favor. Include planting instructions for the recipient.
Not only is it a great way to recycle and beautify your space, but it also promotes the growth of beneficial plants and supports pollinators.
Enjoy crafting your seed paper!

Have you ever wondered how some businesses got their name? Even the big-name brands. I feel like there is always a story behind how some businesses got their name. I have been asked several times about how PÜR Evergreen got its name.
Back in 2015 I, (Kimberly) started a cleaning company. The original name was Colorado Mile High Cleaning but as I soon found out there was a new company that came to Colorado and named their business like mine, I decided to make a big change and rebrand my business. When choosing a name, I knew it needed to be something that would grab people's attention. I wanted a name that flowed. In 2016, Evergreen Eco Clean was chosen. I loved that the name was not only key search words but also something that I stood behind in my company. Eco Friendly, Evergreen because I always loved the plant and its foliage that remains green. Evergreen reminds me of a fresh, uplifting smell that brings joy.
After owning my cleaning business and having a staff, I saw a need to have less products and have products that were truly natural and not green washed. I started to work on a formula and combination of natural ingredients. I wanted to create a product that would replace all of the cleaners we use and that would clean better than them. Something that would be safe on everything. After two years of working on a formula and testing it out, it was mastered. Streak free mirrors, a shine that made stainless steel and faucets look new again. Granite never looked better, and it was no match for grease! I knew I needed a name that would catch on.
I love play-on-words so instead of pure I wanted it to be different. The evergreen part of the name came from part of my cleaning company since that is where it started. I love it and PÜR Evergreen® was born!

PÜR Evergreen’s Hand-Crafted Wool dryer balls are a fantastic, eco-friendly alternative to conventional dryer sheets, offering a natural way to soften your laundry, reduce static, remove pet hair and lint without the use of chemicals. However, with regular use, these balls can start to lose their effectiveness. Don't worry, though! Cleaning your wool dryer balls is a simple and straightforward process. Here's how to do it.
Step 1: Check for Debris and Lint
Before anything else, you want to remove any visible lint or debris from your wool dryer balls. This can usually be done by hand. Just give each ball a good once-over, peeling off any loose materials.
Step 2: Hand Wash/ Machine Wash
Fill a bowl or sink with warm water and a gentle, wool-friendly detergent. Submerge your dryer balls in the water and gently squeeze them to help them absorb the water. Let them soak for about 15 minutes. For the washing machine, wash in hot water on a gentle cycle.
Step 4: Squeeze Out Excess Water
Gently squeeze out any excess water from the balls. Be careful not to twist or wring them, as this could damage their shape and effectiveness.
Step 5: Dry and Refresh
Now, it's time to dry your PÜR Evergreen hand-crafted wool dryer balls. The best method is to put them in the dryer on a high heat setting. You can also leave them in the air to dry, but this will take longer.
Step 6: Regular Maintenance
To keep your wool dryer balls in the best shape, repeat this cleaning process every few months, or as needed.
PÜR Evergreen’s hand-crafted wool dryer balls are a great investment for anyone looking to reduce their environmental footprint in the laundry room & saving money. By following these simple cleaning steps, you can ensure that your wool dryer balls last for years, saving you money and reducing waste in the long run. Happy cleaning!

As the winter chill sets in, it’s time to snuggle up, stay cozy, and embrace the magic of the season. I’m Kimberly, the eco-=conscious mind behind PÜR Evergreen, and I’m thrilled to share some winter warmth wisdom with you. Let’s navigate the frosty months ahead while keeping our homes toasty and our energy bills in check. Ready for a winter wonderland that’s not only warm but also eco-friendly? Let’s dive in!
1 – Seal in the Warmth with Draft Stoppers:
Say goodbye to chilly drafts by welcoming in the wonders of draft stoppers. These nifty devices can be easily placed at the bottom of doors and windows to prevent heat from escaping. Not only will you keep the cold out, but you’ll also keep your energy bills down. It’s a win-win situation.
2 – Optimize your Heating System:
Give your heating system some love to ensure it’s working efficiently. Schedule a professional check-up to make sure everything is in top-notch condition. Consider installing a programmable thermostat to regulate the temperature automatically, saving energy when you’re not at home. And, of course, don’t forget to dust off those vents and radiators.
3 – Layer Up:
Just like we layer our clothing for warmth, consider doing the same for your home. Invest in cozy rugs, curtains, and blankets to add an extra layer of insulation. Not only will this make your space feel snug, but it will also reduce the need for excessive heating. It’s a stylish and sustainable way to combat the cold.
4 – Harness Natural Sunlight:
Let the sun work its magic by keeping curtains open during the day. Natural sunlight not only brightens up your space but also provides free and efficient heating. Be sure to close them as the sun sets to trap the warmth inside. PÜR Evergreen supports harnessing the power of the sun while keeping your home clean and safe.
5 – Reverse Ceiling Fans:
Did you know that your ceiling fan can be your winter ally? Reverse the direction of your ceiling fan to circulate warm air trapped near the ceiling back down to the living areas. This simple trick can make a significant difference in maintaining a comfortable temperature without cranking up the heat.
Here’s to a winter season filled with warmth, comfort, and energy-saving victories! By implementing these eco-friendly tips, you’re not only keeping the cold at bay but also contributing to a greener planet. Stay warm, stay cozy, and let’s make this winter a season of sustainability with PÜR Evergreen.

]]>Fun Things to Do While Camping:
Understanding "Leaves of Three, Let Them Be": While camping, it's crucial to educate your children about potential hazards in nature, such as poison ivy, poison oak, and poison sumac. The saying "Leaves of Three, Let Them Be" is a helpful rhyme to remember. These plants usually have three leaves per stem, and direct contact with them can cause an itchy rash and allergic reactions. Teach your children to identify these plants and avoid touching them.
Characteristics of Poisonous Plants:
Introducing "Insect Away" Essential Oil Blend: To protect your family from annoying insects while camping, consider using a natural insect repellent like "Insect Away." This essential oil blend is specially formulated to repel mosquitoes, ticks, flies, and other bugs. Here's a simple recipe to make your own "Insect Away" spray:
Ingredients:
Instructions:
Camping with your kids can be a memorable and educational experience. By incorporating fun activities, teaching them about poisonous plants, and using natural insect repellents like "Insect Away," you can ensure their safety and create an enjoyable outdoor adventure. So, pack your camping gear, prepare for exciting hikes, and get ready to connect with nature while making lifelong memories with your family. Happy camping!
(Note: While essential oils can provide some level of insect repellency, it's important to follow additional safety measures, such as wearing protective clothing and using mosquito nets, especially in areas with a high risk of insect-borne diseases.)
]]>One of the most crucial aspects of traveling with kids is careful planning. Start by packing a separate bag for each child, filled with their favorite toys, books, and activities. This way, they will have a sense of ownership and be excited to explore the contents of their own bag. Additionally, consider the duration of the journey and plan for frequent breaks or layovers if necessary.
2. Interactive Storytelling:
Storytelling is an excellent way to captivate children's attention and stimulate their imagination. Before the trip, prepare a few interactive stories that involve your kids as characters. You can take turns adding new elements to the story or asking them to suggest twists and turns. This activity not only keeps them entertained but also encourages creativity and critical thinking.
3. Travel Bingo:
Travel Bingo is a classic game that can be easily adapted for car or plane journeys. Create bingo cards with various items you are likely to encounter during your trip, such as animals, landmarks, or road signs. Hand out the cards and have the children mark off the items as they spot them. The first one to complete a row or a full card wins a small prize. This game keeps the kids engaged and also promotes observation skills.
4. Scavenger Hunt:
A scavenger hunt is an exciting game that can be played both indoors and outdoors. Before the trip, create a list of items or objects your kids need to find during the journey. It could be something as simple as a yellow car, a cloud shaped like an animal, or a specific road sign. Hand out the lists and encourage them to keep an eye out for the items. This game adds an element of adventure to the trip and helps pass the time in a fun and engaging way.
5. Travel Trivia:
Challenge your kids' knowledge with a travel-themed trivia game. Create a list of questions related to the destinations you'll be visiting or the mode of transportation you're using. For example, you can ask about famous landmarks, historical facts, or interesting facts about the country you're traveling to. Provide small rewards for correct answers to keep the game exciting. Not only does this game entertain your children, but it also promotes learning and curiosity about the world around them.
6. DIY Activity Kits:
Crafting DIY activity kits can be a great way to keep kids engaged during a trip. Fill a small box or a ziplock bag with coloring books, crayons, puzzles, stickers, and small toys. These kits provide hours of entertainment and can be customized according to your child's interests. Additionally, involve your kids in the process of creating their own activity kits to increase their excitement and anticipation for the journey.
Traveling with kids can be a wonderful experience when you incorporate fun and easy games into your travel plans. By planning ahead and packing engaging activities, you can ensure that your children stay entertained during car or plane rides. The games mentioned in this blog, such as interactive storytelling, travel bingo, scavenger hunts, travel trivia, and DIY activity kits, offer a variety of options to keep your little ones entertained and make the journey enjoyable for the whole family.

From classic games like cornhole and horseshoes to newer games like Spikeball and KanJam, there are plenty of options to choose from that won't break the bank. Just in case you get a little too much sun, or a few skeeter bites, you’ll need some Lavender Essential Oil for relief!

First on our list is creating a rainwater collecting system. Instead of letting all that precious rainwater go to waste, you can easily collect it and use it to water your garden. All you need is a large barrel or container that can collect the rainwater from your roof. Make sure to cover the container tightly to prevent mosquitoes from breeding. You can even take it up a notch by adding a filtration system to ensure the water is clean before using it.
Next, let’s talk about upcycling old pots and containers. Instead of throwing them away, transform them into unique planters for your garden. Get creative with paint or decoupage techniques and give your old pots a new lease on life. You can even use old boots, teapots, and glass jars to add an eclectic and personal touch to your garden.
Another great upcycling idea is making your own compost bin. Instead of buying expensive fertilizers, you can create your own nutrient-rich compost from your kitchen and garden waste. All you need is a plastic bin with a lid and some air holes. Simply add your kitchen scraps, leaves, grass clippings, and other organic matter to the bin and let nature do the rest. In a few months, you’ll have a fantastic natural fertilizer for your garden.
Last but not least, why not create your own natural herb garden? Instead of buying herbs from the supermarket, you can grow your own fresh herbs right in your garden. Not only does it save you money, but it also ensures you have a constant supply of fresh and healthy herbs. You can use old drawers, broken wheelbarrows or even an old shoe organizer as herb planters.
In conclusion, Spring is the perfect time to get creative with upcycling and make your garden even more eco-friendly. By using recycled materials, you not only reduce waste but also add a personal touch to your outdoor space. And not to mention, you’ll be doing your part in creating a healthier environment for all.
Happy gardening!
