Ever wondered about what is really going on with that detergent you’re using in your dishwasher? The average dishwasher detergent has phosphate in it, which can harm lakes and streams, which isn’t exactly a great thing. The good news, though, is that Palmolive puts out a dishwasher detergent that is free of phosphate. This semi-new product is called Palmolive Eco+. It is available in 3 different

Great news for anyone who is a fan of using Clorox cleaning solutions but can't stand the harsh chemicals, not to mention how the chemicals may or may not react to the environment. Clorox has recently came out with their own line of natural household cleaning products, and it's called Green Works. This new line of natural household cleaners currently consists of all purpose cleaner, toilet bowl

I have a real treat for anyone who enjoys either decorating their home or simply getting a new set of bed sheets every once in a blue moon. You may or may not have heard about Bamboo Sheets, but for those of you who haven't here is the scoop on them...Bamboo sheets are very eco-friendly. The reason being for this is because they are made with a lot less cotton. Cotton crops use up a lot more

First off, my apologies to everyone for the delay in posts. I was put off track due to the holidays and personal reasons. Nonetheless, we are now back on track. Which, by the way, Happy New Year to everyone (I know it's late)!So, to start off our very first post in the New Year I'd like to introduce you to a different way of shaving. I'm sure that most of you, if not everyone, buys manual razors

Hey everyone, sorry I haven't posted much of anything this week. I came down with some kind of a cold, so I've been fairly sick for a while. That's what you get when the weather switches from hot to cold from day to day though. Now that I'm back up and running, or at least until I get hit by another cold attack anyway, let's see what we have in store for you today with a green living tip.Ever had

It turns out that recycling little glass bottles has paid off greatly in regards to home decorating at the very least. A company called EnviroGLAS makes economical countertops, floors, and decorative surfaces from recycled glass bottles. Take a look at their website and see what they have to offer. EnviroGLAS offers some really beautiful products. Just because something is recycled doesn't mean

This is dedicated to everyone who has a thing for tan skin. So many people purposely tan for hours in the sun or at a tanning salon, which neither of those options are healthy for you. Something that seems to shock a lot of people is to find out that their favorite self tanning product is worse than using the sun or a tanning salon to get that tan that they dream of. For the most part all tanning

Attention all Wal-Mart Environmental shoppers! If you live in a small town or out in the country where it is much harder to find a place that accepts items to be recycled then you're in luck! Recently Wal-Mart has begun a recycling program, though it is aimed more so toward kids adults can take part as well. Inside of their stores there are two recycling bins. One bin is for clean plastics and

Unfortunately the weekend is over now and thus a new week begins. Ah, yes, I can hear all of the moans and groans from everyone, including myself! Monday starts a new week for a lot of us, which means that it is time to start another day at work or start the even harder work at home for those of you homemakers out there.Today's tip is aimed at people who do their own laundry (yes, there are

Technology is rising higher and higher with cell phones, and people who enjoy all the fun gadgets that a cell phone can have are constantly buying new cell phones to continuously keep up to date with things. The bad news about that is that there are over 500 million unused cell phones in landfills as we speak. What makes matters worse is that now as the years go on there will be over 100 million

Many of us have desperately tried to keep the lenses of our eyeglasses clean without purchasing a cleaning solution. Unfortunately, not many of us have won the fight against fingerprints and dust, etc, which tend to cling to our lovely lenses.What else can you do other than purchase a cleaning solution? You can mix one part water and one part vinegar (meaning equal amounts of each liquid) in a

Do you believe that you have to use warm/hot water every time you wash your hands in order to get them as clean as they can be? Wrong. The only time you should have to use warm/hot water is when you're handling raw meat or if you work around food. Next time you wash your hands give cold water a chance first. By using cold water to wash your hands instead of warm/hot you can save around 5% on your

Halloween is next week, which means everyone is trying to get as much done as possible before the big night. There are a few things that we can all do to have a happier Halloween for the environment.One of the easiest things you can do is to give a non-disposable bag to kids when they go trick-or-treating. Try using tote bags and pillow cases, or anything else that you can come up with. Use your

If you're trying to help the environment out by using little to no paper or recycled paper then this might be for you, or for someone who is simply on the run without a highway map, etc. Thanks to Google's new "Google Mobile" we can now receive driving directions to our selected destination by using our cellphones.
