welcome to the deko and posh blog

Hey V.I.T.'s (very important tweens and teens) Deko and Posh here. Our blog is a view of all the news happening around the world that effects us. We find the Top Stories of the Day and we post them for you to read. We would like your input on all these issues we face today as tweens and teens. Nothing is off limits. If you want us to discuss something leave us a comment or send us an email at deko@dekoposh.com or posh@dekoposh.com.

Our Mission: To empower all V.I.T.s to make positive changes today for a better tomorrow by volunteering, giving back, becoming leaders and teaching others to do the same.

Our Blog is all about Tops Stories of the Day, Fashion, Design, Volunteering, Charities, and how all these topic's effect us. And in our store online and in person you will find all your must have's by color. Yes, that's right we have color coordinated our entire store because everyone has a favorite color. Be sure to explore the colors at dekoposh at www.dekoposh.com.

The Ins and Outs of 2009: Greening our World



In--
electronic e-vites

saving and then recycling catologs (that you don't want and won't use)

cameras with rechargable batteries

donating gently used and unabused clothing

shorter showers

reusable lunchboxes

monitoring your electronics and unplugging them when they're finished charging

edible birthday gifts

washable cutlery

Out--
paper invitations

tossing catologs in the TRASH as soon as you get them in the mail

cameras that run on Double or Triple A's. Give that energizer bunny a rest!

throwing away gently used or unabused clothing

wasting water on washing

paper lunchbags

leaving your wall charger plugged in after your electronic device is completely charged

inexpensive but poor-quality birthday gifts (that will most likely be tossed in the TRASH when they break)

plastic cutlery

**small but SHOCKING fact: 99% of the products purchased by Americans are thrown away within six months of their purchase.
