Some years in Colorado, we get a lovely long warm autumn season with great fall color. Other years, we get a glimpse of the fall color before the snow takes it all away for the winter. This year, we are somewhere in between. A couple weeks of glorious weather followed by threats of snow and cold. But the leaves are hanging on. While people are already skiing at Wolf Creek, we are trying to milk a few final mountain bike rides on our golden trails in the chilly autumn sun. Life changes fast, as do the seasons. Here at EcoSak, we are taking in every moment and savoring the joy of autumn while we can. Soon we'll be skiing powder and sipping on hot chocolate, but today is crisp and glorious and we are going to enjoy it while we can.

This is your reminder to relish in the beauty of every day. And go play outside!!  

Humans aren't the only ones who love EcoSak. Kona the wonder dog enjoys relaxing on her organic cotton bean bag chair after a hard day of being a dog. Kona thinks its a pretty great place to hang out, and Sarah (her Human) thinks its pretty great to have a machine washable cover.

After a horrific flood, and months of continuing on in makeshift classrooms, the Lighthouse School Project is now complete. EcoSak is a proud participant in the project and we loved seeing the transformation from a tragic loss to a beautiful school that the students, parents, and teachers will enjoy for years to come.

Steamboat Springs, Colorado (PR Buzz) October 11, 2010 – “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition” recently rebuilt the Lighthouse Preschool in Nashville, Tennessee, which was completely destroyed by historic floods in May of this year.

The Sweatt family has been running the school since 2003, and despite their own tragic losses of eight of its 18 school buildings, they still managed to help more than 200 other families in need during the flood. Their generous efforts touched the lives of many, and at a time when they were at risk of losing the school due to lack of finances, “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition” identified the school to makeover.

Several companies, including LP Building Products and HARDAWAY Construction Corp., teamed up with hundreds of volunteers to complete the project. All materials, labor, and products for the build are donated by local and national companies. One such company is EcoSak Eco Friendly Furniture based out of Steamboat Springs, Colorado. EcoSak donated 15 organic cotton bean bags for kids to the project, and these EcoSaks will be used in four of the classrooms and one play room in the Lighthouse Preschool.

The 11th Annual Sustainable Living Fair in Fort Collins, Colorado, was a huge success. Despite the unseasonably cold weather, crowds came out to support the premeir event of it's kind. EcoSak eco friendly furniture was there, and we enjoyed contributing to the comfort of the fair-goers!

We would never have thought about putting an EcoSak in a hammock until this chicken wrangler sent us a video about one of his favorite things. What a great idea!! We love it! Eco friendly furniture in the coop!

The Nasville Build is coming along nicely. Check out another video from Day 4...the excitement continues!

EcoSak eco friendly furniture company has donated EcoSaks for Kids to the Nashville Build, an EMHE project to rebuild a pre-school that was destroyed by flooding. We are helping create a buzz about the project, and are proud to participate in this charitable event. Please see the video of the Nashville pep rally!
