Daily Tips with Ideal Bite
by Kara DiCamillo, Newport, Rhode Island on 10.25.05
As soon as we went to Ideal Bite’s website we knew we’d like it, especially with the subhead “a sassier shade of green.” If you love Daily Candy, you’ll crave Ideal Bite. Heather Stephenson and Jennifer Boulden, “aka Chief Biters,” founded the site earlier this year and they’ve seen their number of subscribers skyrocket over the past few months. Both have backgrounds in launching web companies and a burning passion for taking “green” mainstream by sharing their advice on how to align daily decisions with personal values, but without preaching at the same time. So here’s what they came up with: Subscribers can sign up for a free, daily email with advice on saving money and finding environmentally friendly products. Daily eco-tips range from food to travel to personal products and they promise to be educational yet entertaining as well. Each tip includes a personal story from one of the editors and it is ranked from 1 to 5 “apples” – 5 being easy, inexpensive and having the most impact on the world. We think these ladies are on to something. Go ahead, take a bite. ::Ideal Bite
nice design, nice look and yes an endorsememnt from JDorfman makes it kewel.
but a caviat for serious THers... after getting this thing for over a month now i can totally say that its 1000% GreenLite almost nothing that you don't already know.. maybe good for mom or little Sis who is turning green, actually perfect for them
except for one thing... There's no way to Unsubscribe. Which is not user friendly at all.... believe me if there was a way, while i wish them lots of success, i would have unsubbed a long time ago...
Hey Hemp4Victory -
Yah, we're DEFINITELY trying to take green to the broader mainstream. However, we do get plenty of kudos from the more hard-core greenies each week, telling us that they learned something new. (Ask Josh about his water filter sometime ;) ).
Anyway - to unsubscribe - click on the word "unsubscribe" on the very bottom of your email. The line says:
For instant removal, please Unsubscribe.
Sorry to see you go, but we honor your commitment to the greening of the greater world.
Happy Biting,
Heather
oh hey sorry-- i stopped looking for an unsub around the eco-burial idealBite... glad to see you got one.. and no, if even Vivaviman is learning stuff i wont unsub-- (still get stuff to email to my moms & sis too)
and anyway-- sorry if i sounded like a critic, i think it rocks that you have this thing going out to tens of thousands of people each week-- hope u only get bigger & stronger!
I met Ethan at the Green Festival in SF last week. We had a great talk about the Ideal Bites. Hello to Ethan and please subscribe me. I am the President of the Albany Chamber of Commerce. We are on the way to becoming the greenest city in America. Please contact us for a promo or whatever. Keep up the good work.
