Think getting shocked is the worst part about your electric blankie?

The Bite
Think twice. Keeping warm in the winter is a heated issue now that electric and magnetic fields (EMFs) from electric blankets may be linked to health hazards. Unplug your electric blanket and switch to a cozy eco-blanket instead.

The Benefits
1.    Keep warm and healthy. The jury's still out, but EMFs may be connected to diseases like cancer.
2.    Save energy. We'll do the math for you: using a regular blanket instead of an electric one uses no energy whatsoever.
3.    Save cash. By unplugging your electric blanket, you'll save an average of $17.26 per year.
4.    Newsflash: organic and recycled blankets are better for the earth than conventional ones.
5.    No fire worries. Electric blankets are responsible for thousands of fires every year.

Personally Speaking
Jen just picked up a super sassy Abundant Earth recycled cotton blanket - she thought it was a bit out of her budget but then figured it was cheaper than a Christmas gift for a bad snuggle partner...
