eBay Have launched their Green Team Challenge which encourages shoppers to purchase 2nd hand or recycled products rather than buy new in an effort to save energy and lower our carbon foot prints.

“Did you realize that buying a previously-worn pair of leather shoes on eBay versus new in a store saves more energy than an average household uses in a day!”

If you take the challenge on Earth day (April 22nd) then eBay will protect 1 acre of rain forest. (As well as giving you the chance to win $10,000!)

We think this is a great idea and encourage you all to sign up
