Gaiam is giving away an Oriental Pattern Reversible All-Weather 5X8 Floor Mat (an $84 value) to one lucky Allie’s Answers reader. The mat is made from recycled soda bottles and can be cleaned with a quick spray from the garden hose! How cool is that?

CONTEST CLOSED
I am determined to win one of your contests someday! Does it help that I am right this very minute sitting on a Gaiam product in my work office?
I learned that the rug is made in Thailand from soda bottles. That is one beautiful use of recycling. I love Gaiam products and often use my yoga mat, bag, and balance ball from the brand.
I love your blog and am so glad to have found it. I will be linking to your page as well as putting up a post about this content. Thanks!
Here’s my link about the giveaway:

That is so cool! If I don’t win it I’ll looking into buying one. That’s cheaper than a washable regular rug and perfect for the kitchen.
I passed it along on my Facebook status, but, sorry, I’m not a Twit.
Well, firstly, I learned that the Gaiam pages take forever to load!
I like the brown and teal color pattern: how do they do that? I’d expect a soda bottle rugs to be clear and green! I like the idea of just hosing it off.
I’m off to poke around the Gaiam site.
I learned the rug is reversible and made from soda bottles and comes in teal.
I’m with Nancy, I’m determined to win one of your giveaways!
I’m a big fan of Gaiam products. I have their yoga mat, yoga block (for my husband), exercise ball, and exercise dvds.
I also just picked up 2 pairs (brown and black) of the J-41 Vegan Yoga Slides that I saw on their site! And I LOVE them. So cute and comfy.
What can I say about this rug that hasn’t already been said? It would look great in my house on my bamboo floors.
I just got Claire’s birtday present from Gaiam. I have been ogling these for a while for our deck, but I hate to spend money on such things(cheap, ya know). I will link.
I love the sleepwear. The organic cotton bathrobes look so comfy!
I’m down with this one.
Made in Thailand, which is a minus (long way to ship a rug.) Fair trade, which is a plus.
I can use one of these.
Blogged about your giveaway. Here’s the link.

I could so use this in my kitchen, a virtually maintenance free rug made by Thai artisans who were paid a fair wage (the things I learned), what could be better. Oh and it’s durable, that’s good because I have a feeling my cats are going to love it.
Love Gaiam – here’s what I learned – Made from recycled bottles in Thailand by Thai artists who get a fair wage. Sounds like a great carpet for us as my kids need something durable and I’d want something stylish. I’d really love to feel this carpet. Is it soft? plasticy? Hmmm???
Now, THIS is a gorgeous rug! VERY COOL
Went to the website, and found out that they have a gift registry, perfect for earth-friendly moms and brides-to-be!
Man, do I ever love products made from recycled polycarbonate! I’m really glad the workers who make this in Thailand receive a fair wage for their work.

I learned (and think it’s very cool) that all rugs are handcrafted by Thai artisans who get fair wages for their work!
I learned they have many items there that I want! Also, they make my favorite water bottles.
I learned that it was made in Thailand, where I used to live!
I totally deserve it. It was practically made by my relatives.
Hehe. OR not.
I’ve wanted this rug for awhile now. I love that the crafters of this rug were paid fair wages. Once I figure out how to – I’ll twitter about it, too. Thanks!
I have to try for this! I love Gaiam!
I’m very glad to learn that the Thai artisans are paid a fair wage. That’s one of the reasons I love Gaim — responsible company.
Another great giveaway. Thanks

IT made from Recycled Soda Bottles and it would be very easy to clean. Great RUG!!
I want it. Trying to figure out how to beat the random number generator. I’m pretty random.
Teal. Moonpie. Gingko. Chickpea. Boxer. Macro. Scuttlebutt. Truman.
I love the fact that the rug can be used outdoors as well. It would definitely add more color to the back yard, for example. Durability is a huge + and I’m in love with the colors.
