Green Toys Green Toys™ Stacking Cups Review & Giveaway
Classic Stacking Cups with a Twist
The safe, durable Stacking Cups from Green Toys Inc. are made from 100% recycled plastic and are perfect for home, classroom, outdoors, or the tub. The six numbered cups with wavy edges nest easily inside each other, or can be turned upside down and stacked over tall. This super-safe toy contains no BPA, Phthalates, PVC, or external coatings, eliminating the fear of toxins and lead paint, and also meets FDA standards for food contact, making it safe for teething babies to put in their mouths.
Fun and Learning All In One
The My First Green Toys™ Stacking Cups are colorful and fun, and teach basic counting and math concepts. Each cup is numbered on the bottom from 1 to 6 and is volumetrically accurate. Fill cups 1 and 4, for example, and it will equal the volume of cup 5, as will cups 2 and 3. Kids love to pour from one cup to the other in the bath tub, the pool, or the water table at recess. The Stacking Cups are also dishwasher safe, making the great for both indoor and outdoor play, even the beach!
Like all My First Green Toys™ products, the Stacking Cups are manufactured in the USA with a tight, local supply chain that minimizes transportation emissions and supports the domestic economy. Made from 100% recycled plastic milk jugs that save energy and reduce greenhouse gas emissions, they are packaged using only recycled and recyclable materials with no plastic films or twist ties, and printed with soy inks. What's In The Box?
Six assorted Stacking Cups (2 blue, 2 purple, 2 green).
Love the star shape and the colors. They are made of great quality and I have a few Green Toys items and I love them all. Each cup has a number inside of it to also help with counting.

The Eco-Friendly Future of Chrysler Cars
One
of the latest companies to jump onto the “green” bandwagon, Chrysler and their
parent company Fiat have been working together to develop a few new models which
will not only get better fuel economy, but will also run on different types of
fuels such as compressed natural gas (CNG). Although these are still down the
road, Chrysler is already producing a vehicle which many wouldn’t have expected
to be considered green or efficient: The Chrysler 300. Chrysler is also working on their first
line of fuel-efficient and powerful diesel engines, which will be running under
the “EcoDiesel” brand name.
The
Chrysler 300: Luxury Sedan Turned Green Machine
In
the past, luxury sedans have often been considered gas-guzzlers that were only
driven by those who could afford to fuel them. Although this is still often the
case, many companies have begun to integrate green and fuel-efficient
technologies into their sedans. Chrysler is one of the most prominent of these
companies, having just recently released the overhauled and modernized version
of the Chrysler 300, their flagship luxury sedan.
The
car, however, doesn’t just offer a contemporary departure from previous models:
It also offers an EPA-estimated fuel economy of 31 mpg. This, along with a
high-performing 3.6L Penstar V6 engine and a 5-star safety rating, has given the
Chrysler 300 a place on Roadfly’s list of the 10 Best Green Cars of
2012.
The
Chrysler 300 has also earned numerous other awards and distinctions, and was
also named one of the 10 Best
Family Cars of 2012 by Kelley Blue Book®.
Running
on Fumes… Literally! The Natural-Gas Powered Chrysler Ram 2500
CNG
Although
it’s still the most widely-used, gasoline isn’t the only fuel source available.
In fact, Chrysler and Fiat have joined forces to develop a new pickup truck
which will not only deliver nearly 500 pound-feet of torque, but will also have
the ability to run entirely on one of the most readily-available fuels in the
world: Compressed natural gas (CNG).
For
Chrysler’s parent company Fiat, however, this is far from a first. Over the past
five years they’ve developed numerous CNG systems for their own cars, and own
about 80 percent of Europe’s market share in the industry. In fact, between 1997
and 2011, they sold nearly 500,000 CNG-powered cars!
In
contrast to Fiat’s models, however, the Ram 2500 CNG will be a large pickup
comparable to the existing Ram. The 18.2-gallon CNG tank located near the front
of the frame will give the truck a range of 255 miles; pretty good for a large
truck running on a fuel that usually costs about a dollar less per gallon than
gasoline!
Although
there are 1,500 CNG fueling stations scattered around the United States, the Ram
will also feature an eight-gallon gas tank that will give it an extra range of
112 miles. That way, the truck will automatically convert to gasoline whenever
CNG tank runs dry.
Unlike
many other alternative fuel sources, this one is right around the corner:
Chrysler will begin delivery in the summer of 2012.
The
Diesel Alternative
Chrysler
will also be producing several diesel-powered models under the new “EcoDiesel”
line. Jointly developed by Fiat, the models will run on a turbocharged 3.0-liter
V6 diesel engine delivering 241 horsepower and 406 pound-feet of torque. As with
most diesel engines, the EcoDiesel line will have an excellent fuel economy of
23 mph in the city and 33 mpg on the highway.
Although
they will not be released until the 2014 model year, Chrysler has considered
shortening the 2013 model year to allow the new line to be released as early as
January of 2013.
You
Too Can Have New Technology
At
Lou Fusz Chysler, Dodge,
and Jeep Dealership here in O’Fallon, Missouri, we not only sell the
latest fuel-efficient Chrysler 300s, but will also be keeping a close eye on the
releases of the Ram 2500 CNG and the EcoDiesel Line so that you too can
experience the power and efficiency of green technology!
