Good for the environment
Spotlight on Children
Help bring a little light in the dark for those in need.
For each SUNNAN solar cell powered lamp you buy, we donate one to UNICEF. These environmentally friendly lamps will go to children in developing countries, so they can read, write and study after sunset, even if their homes have no electricity.
In addition to doing something great for kids- you'll be helping the environment and your pocket book. These lamps come with two rechargeable AA 1.2V batteries for solar cell driven products, so all you have to do it give it sun. No plug in required. No cost on your electric bill. No CO2 emissions. They're great for camping in the woods and the back yard too!
Now that is what you call a BRIGHT idea!

As of October 1, 2008, IKEA no longer offers plastic bags. With the introduction of its leadership ‘bag the plastic bag’ program in March 2007, IKEA set a goal of reducing its U.S. stores’ plastic bag consumption by 50%; from 70 million to 35 million plastic bags in the first year.
Now it’s over 2 years since the program began and IKEA is overwhelmed with the stunning results; more than 92% of their customers said no more plastic bags! Expectations were exceeded and IKEA learned their customers welcome the opportunity to find new ways to be environmentally responsible.
Here are three simple ways to go green with IKEA New Haven: - Use compact fluorescent lights (CFL) light bulbs - Reduce plastic bag usage - Recycle your non-fluorescent light bulbs, dry cell batteries, plastic bottles, clear plastic bags, and aluminum cans.
Why use CFL light bulbs? • The more CFL bulbs you use, the more money you save; CFL bulbs last 6-10X longer! • Lowers the usage of energy and greenhouse gas emissions. • Did you know that if every U.S. home bought one CFL bulb, it would be the equivalent to taking two-million cars off the road!
Why reduce plastic bag use? • Average family of four accumulates 1,460 plastic shopping bags a year. • 100 billion plastic bags are given away each year in the U.S. • Takes up to 1,000 years for a plastic bag to break down in the environment.

Plant a Tree
Donate $1 Plant 1 Tree
IKEA is partnering with American Forest, a nonprofit group that is dedicated to preserving and restoring forests in the United States and around the world.
With every $1 you donate at the cashlanes 1 tree will be planted that will help restore forests throughout the U.S.
Trees – through their natural growth processes – remove the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide (CO2) and convert carbon into wood. Planting trees is a low-cost, practical and effective way to store carbon and reducing CO2. This means a cleaner, cooler atmosphere for all life on earth. Want more information? Visit www.americanforests.org.
Recycling Change
Battery Recycling On Hold
Until further notice, IKEA has suspended the recycling service to take back used batteries. This is due to the challenges of a new regulation issued by the US Department of Transportation (US DOT) regarding the transport of batteries. For more information on this new regulation for battery recycing and how it affects ALL battery recycling please visit:
We apologize for any inconvenience.
