With all the talk of Haagen-Dazs creating ice cream to help save the dying honey bee population, one has to wonder how much buying a pint of Vanilla Honey Bee actually offsets the carbon footprint of making it.

Click on the footprint to the left and calculate your carbon footprint.

And while you’re at it, consider how much you’d reduce your own carbon footprint if you made your ice cream at home.  In a non electric ice cream maker.

BE GREEN! The Play & Freeze can help you be more eco-friendly with your ice cream consumption!  Since it requires no electricity, you can have your ice cream without creating a large carbon footprint!

You can further reduce your footprint by buying local ingredients to make your ice cream.  You’ll support your local economy, eat healthier (as you won’t have all those nasty preservatives), and reduce the travel time your food takes to get to you. 

Locally grown food purchased locally = baby footprint vs imported food purchased thousands of miles from the farm = big footprint.  Think about it.

Buying an ice cream ball to create your ice cream with will eliminate all those boxes you throw away after consuming store bought ice cream.  Do something good for the environment and still enjoy ice cream — Buy a Play & Freeze!
