Pledge to Tote Green on Earth Day
The Beleaf Tote ... the First in a Line of Organic and Recyclable Fabrics Stitched with Purpose(TM) - One Percent of Sales Donated to 1% For The Planet
MANASQUAN, N.J., March 25 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- It may not be fashionable to be seen sporting paper or plastic, but making a statement with ecofashion is in. Americans throw away 100 billion plastic bags a year, recycling less than one percent of them, according to the Worldwatch Institute, an environmental research and advocacy group in Washington. Perfect for Earth Day and beyond, the new Beleaf tote solves the paper or plastic dilemma and makes it easy for earth-savvy shoppers to take a plastic bag out of circulation and promote the reduction of deforestation. Plus, one percent of all sales are donated to the non-profit organization, 1% For The Planet.
 Made with 100 percent organic cotton and imprinted with water-based inks, the oversized tote was designed to promote sustainability. The bag was designed by Beleaf's creative director, Keith Rizzi, who also heads up Rizco Design, an award-winning, green design firm located in Manasquan, New Jersey. Beleaf is earth-friendly fashion that is Stitched with Purpose(TM). "The bag was designed to encourage everyday people to make one simple change that can make a difference," says Keith Rizzi. "Helping to reduce the number of biodegradable-resistant plastic bags is something we all can do to benefit Earth."
Proceeds from the sale of Beleaf are being donated to the non-profit organization 1% For The Planet. Founded in 2001, 1% For The Planet is an alliance of companies that recognize the true cost of doing business and donate one percent of their sales to environmental organizations worldwide. Beleaf's annual donations are directed to the Consolidated Graphics Division of American Forests(R) which focuses on reducing deforestation caused by the design and printing industry due to increased paper consumption.
The bag features the Beleaf logo, along with a free-flowing design of a butterfly pattern made from repeated Beleaf logos. The butterflies communicate evolution and a sense of change. Additionally, the colors of a butterfly's wings are made to match their surroundings because the environment naturally provides its inhabitants with protection, as well as nourishment and sustainability. That is the premise behind Beleaf: in order to achieve balance, and ensure the planet's future, we must do the same for our environment.
The Beleaf tote retails for $36 and is available at www.beleaf.com. It is the first item launched from the collection. Additional pieces will be introduced by late 2008.
About Beleaf
Launched in 2007, Beleaf is a relaxed, urban clothing collection comprised of high quality organic and recyclable fabrics that combine energetic design and sophisticated detail that embody green learnings, which are shared to show how small changes make a big impact. The first accessory introduced from the collection is the reusable tote. One percent of the sales of Beleaf will be donated to 1% For The Planet.

Announcing the Arrival of a Fun, Brand New, Affordable, Family Oriented Land Sailor - The Wind Chaser, from Action Products, LLC
VENTURA, Calif., March 24 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Wind Chaser(R) (www.wind-chaser.com), a product of Action Products(R), LLC, announces the arrival of the award winning first factory production models of their family and "eco-friendly" land sailor - the Wind Chaser(R).
 The low price of the "Wind Chaser(R)" land sailor, brings the fun, thrills and excitement of land sailing within reach of most families. Plus it is powered by nature's free natural "eco-fuel" - the wind! This earth friendly cart costs just $995.00 U.S. each and can be used by just about anyone on any hard or firm surface from beaches to deserts, from asphalt to grassy playing fields, even on frozen lakes and ponds with the optional set of ice blades.
A Wind Chaser(R) Land Sailor is essentially a three wheeled, wind-powered go-cart. It has been designed so that even a twelve year old can not only sail it but also assemble it in 5 to 10 minutes. The disassembled cart fits into four protective bags all less than 4 feet in length and with a total weight of under 54 pounds - made to transport easily in almost any vehicle even the trunk of a Honda Civic and leave room to spare.
Learning how to sail the land sailor is easy and fast, so much easier than a boat! You steer with the front wheel using foot bars, bring it to a stop just by letting go of the 35.6 sq. ft. sail's "main sheet" (control rope) and, for extra safety, use the hand brake to stop. You adjust the sail with the main sheet to go faster or slower, relax in a comfortable ergonomic molded seat designed with most ages and sizes in mind.
With so many land sailing associations, clubs, vacation packages and informal groups around the country, all family members can sail with each other, new friends or just sail off by themselves as the mood dictates.
The Wind Chaser(R) can be purchased directly from the Wind Chaser(R) web site or with a phone call. E-mail: sales@wind-chaser.com. Site: www.wind-chaser.com or call 1-805-525-8003.

Breakthrough in Handwriting Analysis Leads to Revolutionary Hiring Tool
TEMECULA, Calif., March 19 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Written Inc. has developed a breakthrough technology which has led to the first significant improvement to the 150-year-old science of handwriting analysis. This week, the company released the latest version of their personality assessment tool, Candidate Insight(TM).
 The enhancements made to this new version will help clients to virtually eliminate hiring mistakes. And, as the economy continues to slow and revenues shrink, more than ever, companies cannot afford costly hiring mistakes. One bad apple can ruin the culture, drive the good people out and seriously impact the bottom line.
As a result, more and more companies are seeking innovative solutions to improve their candidate selection process. Interviews, resumes, background checks and traditional personality tests fall short when it comes to revealing the candidate's true personality.
That's where Candidate Insight comes in. The solution reveals hundreds of hidden personality traits, most of which have never been available to employers prior to hiring.
"Imagine the benefit of knowing, with ninety-five percent accuracy, that the candidate a client is about to make an offer to is argumentative, dishonest, moody and inflexible?" Ryan Vener, Written Inc.'s vice president, queried. "We can even tell clients if the candidate is violent. No other hiring tool or other personality assessment even comes close to our accuracy and insight."
In their research, Written Inc. discovered that traditional handwriting analysis was too simplistic when examining the relationship between characteristics and traits. The one-to-one relationship that's often used - for example crossing a "t" this way means "x" - resulted in ambiguous and inaccurate results. Written Inc. found that a person's handwriting, or as they refer to it - "written body language" - is far more complex and requires technology to get it right.
This newest version of Candidate Insight incorporates artificial intelligence and a sophisticated relational database that keeps track of these complex relationships.
Candidate Insight is fast and easy to administer. Job applicants are simply asked to copy two short paragraphs onto a form that is then faxed to Written, Inc. The company's handwriting specialists analyze the samples with the aid of a software application. The reports are then uploaded as a PDF file to a secure web site where clients can access them directly.
Business consultant and sales training guru, Patrick Cahill of MAC Venture Group in New York City, advises all of his clients to use Candidate Insight.
"After reviewing the numbers, we found that eighty-seven percent of our clients had made a serious hiring mistake in the last two years," Cahill explained. "We estimated the average cost to each client to be upwards of $300,000. By adding this simple and inexpensive tool to their hiring process, they've virtually eliminated these hiring mistakes."
To learn more about this revolutionary hiring tool, Candidate Insight, visit www.WrittenInc.com or call +1-888-670-6702.
