When Nature’s Path Organic Foods asked if we’d like to sample their revamped organic granola bars, we said, “sure.” Who doesn’t like the idea of USDA certified organic granola bars? Here’s our Tried and True Green Product Review, and latest Giveaway…
We recently received 8 new flavors of Nature’s Path Organic’s granola bars — we’ve only sampled a few so far, but we’re enjoying every bite.
The Lotta Apricotta tastes refreshing and delicious — it’s comprised mostly of apricot, almond and coconut. With zero grams of trans fat; 140 calories, wheat-free and vegetarian — it’s a great way to feel satiated while on the run. I also tried another tasty winner, the Sunny Hemp snack bar, loaded with organic hempseeds, sunflower seeds, flaxseed, raisins and whole grain oats – and with only 140 calories and 90mg of sodium. (A complete list of ingredients is provided via their Website.)
Like all Nature’s Path products, the new granola bars are USDA certified organic — no artificial preservatives, additives, genetically modified organism (GMOs) or synthetic pesticides.
The other new flavors include: Mmmaple Pecan and Berry Strawberry, excellent sources of Omega-3’s, as well as Peanut Buddy, Peanut Choco, Chococonut and Pumpkin-n-Spice. A box retails for $3.79/ and contains 5 or 6 bars, depending on the flavor.
Would you like to sample some of these new snack bars for free? Here’s how to win a box of any 3 flavors of your choice. Prize also includes free shipping to anywhere in the USA or Canada…3 winners will each receive 3 boxes.

A wirelessly charged electric vehicle, or on-line electric vehicle (OLEV) – went into service March 9 at the Seoul Grand Park in Gwacheon, Gyeonggi Province, Korea. Seoul Mayor Oh Se-hoon and Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology President Suh Nam-pyo attended a ceremony unveiling the vehicle held at the Park.
The vehicle, which resembles a trolly or funky steam engine, is powered by electricity from an electrical charging strip planted about 5cm under the road surface. The project has replaced the theme park’s diesel-powered shuttle trains with the more eco-friendly OLEV.
The OLEV developed by the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) is charged wirelessly over a 400-meter long stretch of electrical strip and can run an additional 400 meters on the charged battery. The special electrical strip creates a magnetic field that generates magnetic force. The magnetic force is sent wirelessly to the vehicle and converted into electricity, which is then used to power the vehicle. At the Seoul Grand Park, the OLEV will service a 2.2 kilometer-long circular route.

I think we can anticipate a steady stream of these solar chargers for power hungry Apple devices coming to market in the near future.
This MZH 1200 iPhone Power Station sells for $49.95. It’s marketed as “the world’s first and smallest solar charger designed for the Apple iPhone” – which other manufacturers may dispute. Fits all iPhone models.
Ah, the rich, beautiful rewards of reclaimed timber – these impressive looking benches were carved from salvaged, or fallen, logs of old growth cedar. The folks at Urban Green and their online Landscape Architect Store feature these slab benches along with a wide array of other landscaping materials and products.
The Vancouver-based landscaping design firm makes visually stunning use of found (permitted harvesting) timber and drift wood.
