Built to fit your active lifestyle, Thinksport stainless steel thermal vacuum bottles provide an alternative to polycarbonate based bottles containing  BPA. Thinksport’s light weight stainless steel bottle has an elegant design that’s easy to hold and drink from. The bottle is vacuum sealed to keep beverage hot or cold for hours and is specifically formulated to be free of  BPA and toxic chemicals. This bottle boasts a small metal filter to help keep ice or tea leaves from your drinking experience. It’s easy travel size fits in most car cup holders and the vacuum reduces the chance of any bottle “sweating”.

Most states are or soon will be offering rebates to consumers that replace old appliances with new efficient, Energy Star appliances. The programs are slightly different in each state so check this page to find the information applicable to where you live. In Ohio, where I live, the program begins March 26th and is offering a $100 rebate for select ENERGY STAR® refrigerators, dishwashers, and high-efficiency gas water heaters, $150 rebate for select ENERGY STAR® clothes washers and a $250 rebate on select ENERGY STAR® electric heat pump water heater. The rebates are provided on a first come, first serve basis so start doing your research now and be ready to save some money on your new energy star appliances with this federally funded program. You will need to provide evidence that your old appliances were properly recycled and you need to make the purchase locally (not online)  in order to qualify for the rebate. A list of qualified ENERGY STAR® appliances can be found on the ENERGY STAR® website.

Sears has one of the largest selections of ENERGY STAR® appliances available and can help you get the most money for your old appliances when you buy new, energy efficient ones. They offer an interactive rebate tool to help you find rebates for eligible energy efficient appliances in your area and are the only retailer recognized by the EPA for Responsible Appliance Disposal (RAD)
