Happy Earth Day 2012!

Yayyy! It is finally here, one of Rubber Bark's favorite days of the year, Earth Day!

Today, take a moment (preferably more) and thank good ol' Mother Earth for being the surly, unwavering matriarch that she is, and think about ways that you can help her out in her old age.

One way for certain, is the replace that old wood mulch with some Rubber Bark™. Rubber Bark™ keeps millions of tires out of landfills every year, because it is made of 100% scrap tires. We believe in the reduce, reuse, recycle mantra, heck, our company is based around the concept!

Not to spoil the specialness of the day, but every day at Rubber Bark™ is kind of like Earth Day, where we want to empower consumers to make responsible choices in everyday purchases. Getting some Rubber Bark™ is a great first step (or second, or third) on the path to living a more sustainable lifestyle. Plus is looks great, and of course, is safe for the kiddos!

So, happy Earth Day all you buzzers and Rubber Bark™ friends!

We want everyone to know about Rubber Bark's spot at the World Ag Expo coming up in February. We are very excited to be a part of this great event!

You’ll get to meet our team and see all of our products, including our durable, eco-friendly rubber mats and our new landscape fabric.  And it’s another chance to win three yards of Rubber Bark™ or 15 durable, eco-friendly rubber mats when you complete a short customer survey.  

So mark it on your calendar and make sure to come by our booth sometime during the week. We'd love to see you. 

New Photos of Happy Feet 2 Promotional Display Featuring Rubber Bark™

Last month set designers put up a promotional display for the movie Happy Feet 2 in the Grove mall in L.A. and we have some photos to share!

 We are very happy with the results of the display, as the designers used or signature blue Rubber Bark™ to represent water surrounding ice floes and bergs with penguins dancing on them. Here is a link to our Flickr stream if you want to see them and more of Rubber Bark's contributions, events and displays.

All Fair photos now up on Flickr!

Check out all the photos we at Rubber Bark™ took of the wonderful Rainforest Exhibit at the Stanislaus County Fair on our Flickr page! And remember there are only THREE more days to go see the exhibit in person. It's definitely worth it!

Rainforest Exhibit at the Stanislaus County Fair features Rubber Bark™!

Below are pictures from the Rainforest Exhibit at the Stanislaus County Fair. It's a must-see attraction, especially for the kiddos. It features a walk through a mist trail to a slide (for kids only!) and features blue and brown Rubber Bark™. The blue bark was used to represent water with a Loch Ness Monster type creature coming out of it at certain points.

Inside the exhibit includes all sorts of Rainforest wildlife including grey parrots, macaws, capuchin monkeys, geckos, a yellow anaconda, and much more!

There are four more days to check out the wonderful exhibit, and the wetlands exhibit which features Rubber Bark™ as well! The fair ends Sunday July 24th, so go soon and go often!

Rubber Bark™ at the Stanislaus County Fair!

Cool Rubber Bark™ news:  The Stanislaus County Fair will be using blue Rubber Bark™ for one of its displays this year! The rain forest exhibit will be featuring our great product (the fairgrounds used Rubber Bark™ last year as well for a wetlands exhibit) and both exhibits will be available to the viewing public starting tomorrow, the first day of the fair.

We are really excited to be a part of the fair experience. If you happen to go, snap a pic and send it to us, or post it on our facebook page. We will be taking pictures of the exhibit as well and be posting them on the Buzz soon.

The fair will start Friday, July 15th at 5pm and end Sunday, July 24th.

Go support local companies and organizations while having fun this summer at the fairgrounds!
