<p>We&#8217;ve been promoting the release of <strong>Alicia Silverstone&#8217;s</strong> new book (<a href="http://www.thekindlife.com" target="_blank">and accompanying website</a>) for many months &#8212; and for this week&#8217;s Twitter Thursday, we&#8217;re giving you a shot at winning a copy!</p>
<p>Called <a href="http://www.thekindlife.com/" target="_blank">THE KIND DIET: A Simple Guide to Feeling Great, Losing Weight, and Saving the Planet</a>, Alicia reveals how eating a plant-based diet will give you tons of energy, mental clarity, gorgeous skin and a renewed zest for life. Plus, it’s one of the greenest things you can do. Because it requires less fuel, water, and other resources, following a plant-based diet is a major contribution toward improving the health of our planet. <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Kind-Diet-Simple-Feeling-Losing/dp/1605296449" target="_blank">Said one reviewer on Amazon,</a> &#8220;I find her passion for vegan food to be inspiring. While I am not ready to embrace it&#8211;I am flirting&#8211;I am thrilled to have so many delicious-sounding recipes to try.&#8221;</p>

<p>We strive every Twitter Thursday to introduce something different from previous weeks, and this time &#8217;round we&#8217;re happy to be hooking up with <a href="http://www.greensmart.biz/sleeve-neogreene.html" target="_blank">GreenSmart</a> on their innovative line of eco-friendly notebook sleeves.</p>
<p>I know, I know &#8212; notebook sleeves aren&#8217;t exactly sexy, but they do come in handy for protecting your valuable bits and bytes while traveling. <a href="http://www.greensmart.biz" target="_blank">GreenSmart</a> has created a sleeve that has all the qualities of neoprene, but without the nasty chemicals. <a href="http://www.greensmart.biz/sleeve-neogreene.html" target="_blank">From their website,</a></p>
<blockquote><p>GreenSmart has abandoned the chloroprene chemistry of neoprene entirely and developed a material with all the attributes without the hazards, We call it neogreene. It is water based chemistry that allows for water based adhesives that still provides the squishy and smooth material with a little bit of stretch. Specific to all neoprene, neogreene uses 25% less electricity and 25% less petroleum to produce? And the stink? With neogreene, that is gone for good.</p></blockquote>
<p>And here&#8217;s a bit about the sleeves themselves: <span>&#8220;This sleeve has a specially designed gusset and mesh interior     to breath for your laptop. Ever think about putting your hot laptop in an insulated     sleeve? Now your laptop will cool down that much faster. The neogreene is waterproof,     too, so if you spill on the outside, no problem.&#8221; GreenSmart also has a great selection of additional eco-friendly bags and cases. <a href="http://www.greensmart.biz">Check out their entire line here</a>.<br />

<p>For this week&#8217;s Twitter Thursday, we&#8217;re doing something a little different. The people behind the charity search engine <a href="http://www.goodsearch.com" target="_blank">GoodSearch.com</a> have offered up $50 to three winners to donate to a charity of their choice. So, instead of winning something for yourself, you&#8217;ll actually be able to up the karma points by giving back to your favorite non-profit.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;ve never heard of <a href="http://www.goodsearch.com" target="_blank">GoodSearch</a>, we highly recommend taking a look at their concept. Basically, using the Yahoo! search engine, the site allows you to scour the web like normal. The big difference is that 50% of all revenue generated by <a href="http://www.goodsearch.com" target="_blank">GoodSearch</a> is given to those schools and charities selected by its users. So if you&#8217;re someone who does a lot of searches daily &#8212; you could really be using that habit to benefit others at the same time. You can also <a href="http://www.goodsearch.com/toolbars.aspx" target="_blank">add the GoodSearch Toolbar to your browser</a>, and each time you shop at one of more than 1,000 participating top stores (from Amazon to Zazzle!), your charity will earn a percentage of the purchase price – at no extra cost to the user!</p>
<p>Today&#8217;s winners will get to choose from more than 83,000 non-profits listed on GoodSearch (<a href="http://www.goodsearch.com/charitylist.aspx" target="_blank">full list here</a>), with those selected receiving the $50 in the company&#8217;s December payout.</p>
<p>Want to win for your favorite charity? Hit the fold below to learn more!</p>
