The computer has been more than just an office equipment for me these days. I have gathered alot of ideas on environmental issues and it’s great to know that many people are beginning to recognize the importance of being eco friendly.
As I was checking out some insurance quotes a while ago, I saw lots of advertisements on eco products shopping sites. I suppose many people had caught the wave and begin to promote environmentally friendly products and spreading this message. Caring for the earth is our responsibility. We can witness the climate change in where we live and we should learn to be aware of it.
When at home, try not to switch on that many lights if you aren’t using them. Conserving energy is one of the effective and easy ways to be eco friendly. We should pass on this principle to our younger generation to make our earth a friendlier place to live, for the good of our future. If you haven’t explore on energy saving lights, it’s time to look into it too.
Who would mind a little glitter gift on Valentine’s day? I just heard about eco friendly gold and am wondering what is this all about. Melt old gold, recycle it and get a new piece of jewelry out from it? Probably!
After reading more about it, I am right about the recycled gold and the company takes a step further by doing its part in being socially responsible. With more jewelry designers catching on the eco friendly movement, more are recycling metals and turning them into creative jewelry pieces. This is indeed not a new trade or practice but it’s certainly a growing industry for those who want to play their part in being kind to the environment without sacrificing on style. Perhaps you too can be eco friendly and request for your loose diamonds to be set on recycled gold the next time you want a new piece of jewelry.
So that’s one gift ideas for Valentine’s day. Otherwise, there are lots of ideas you can peek from our Eco Natural Store for that special someone.
My son has been down with this bout of cough and cold for almost two months… it’s been very tiring for me. As an eco friendly mom, I did whatever possible to help him get well naturally without the use of drugs first. I gave him manuka honey and some propolis elixir to calm his cough and get rid of that nasty cold. It is comforting when I notice signs of improvement.
While I was shopping for some home improvement items for our home, I came across a new health shop that stocks some good eco natural products for the home. It is great to see that more companies are joining the fold in doing their part for the environment. Whether or not they are doing this for money, it is good to spread and support the movement as the climate change is becoming a more serious one each day. I bought a bottle of eco friendly cleaner for my Grohe faucets and it is said to be made of natural enzymes.
Back to the natural remedy of manuka honey and propolis, do try out it out if you are down with a cough, sore throat or cold. Buy them from reliable health stores and make sure you choose active manuka honey for better results.
Last week, I came across another website that carries eco natural products for the home. That was good news for me as I am always on the lookout for new products, brands and information on the eco friendly movement.
I have been using natural cleaning products for the home and personally, I enjoy the peace of mind of using products that are free from those harsh and harmful chemicals. This matters to me as I have a little child at home who is prone to allergies and using eco friendly and natural products prevents toxicity and the inhaling of these chemicals present in the products. All natural home and laundry products are safe and effective alternatives to petroleum based ingredients found in name brand detergents. Choose those that are free from artificial fragrances and color brightening chemicals.

Last Christmas, I made the effort to buy some eco natural gifts for my loved ones and since, I have been receiving lots of compliments for it. I am so glad to share my love for eco living products with them and these days, many of my good friends are carrying the eco bags I bought with them whenever they are out buying groceries.
Enough of bags and such, if you are new to environmentally friendly bags, it’s time to take a look at them. They are gorgeous and cool. Plus, they are more than just grocery bags or bags that hold your weekend shopping!
2010 is here! What have you set your mind to achieve this year? To practice eco living or to begin this path if you haven’t even started at all. Yesterday I read in the local papers that few supermarkets have begun their eco friendly campaign by having ‘no plastic’ days. The intention of this move is sure good but the companies have not done enough to inform their customers which led to many frustrated faces.
‘No plastic’ days are becoming popular among retailers too though some customers still feel that it won’t be fair to tuck their purchases in their own bags when they had paid lots of money for them. It takes a long while to educate customers to practice eco friendly principles when they are not accustomed to this awareness. My uncle went to buy some discount cigars and he expected them to be packed nicely in a bag. He would be upset if they told him that there wasn’t any packaging for them. Some retailers start to use recycled wrapping papers for their customers which are good options to promote green living.
This year, we hope to continue our green living journey. For a start, we have begun using fruit enzyme for our household cleaning instead of harmful detergents. It takes some efforts and time to walk this journey but the results bring inner satisfaction as we become more socially responsible.
It’s never nice falling ill when you are on a holiday,, isn’t it? Well, that’s me. I have been ill for the last one week and it isn’t the vacation I have planned to be.
I was planning to search out some eco friendly stores during my stay at the Gold Coast but it’s tiring for my body who is recovering from a bad bout of bacteria attack. I didn’t have my external hard drive with me this time so I can’t do some of my work. But who likes to be working during a vacation?
Now that I’m feeling better, I hope to shop for some eco friendly bags made locally to add on to my eco bag collection. It’s just nice collecting these nice eco friendly bags that can be so useful, convenient and great for any casual outings. I see them being used in all grocery stores by many environmentally conscious people.
With the holiday season leading up, this is a busy time for many people. Those who are working are busy clearing their work before the holidays began. Families are busy with holiday planning and many of us will be busy with gift shopping for our loved ones. With so many choices in the marketplace, it can be hard deciding what to buy for the long list of recipients! Perhaps this year, you want to do things abit differently – to shop for eco natural gifts for those you love and care about.

Green furniture or eco-friendly furniture used to be a new buzzword for the home improvement industry. Those who make and manufacture green products are committed to producing items that are non-toxic, environmentally friendly and safe enough.
One of the first steps to green furniture is to use wood in the construction that comes from a sustainable forest. For every tree taken, another is either planted or left to grow to full maturity. People are beginning to care more for the natural environment. Who knows, the next innovation could be eco friendly steel buildings.
Second, is the use of non-toxic bonding agents. Many types of glue, especially used in imported furniture, off gas formaldehydes and other air-borne chemicals into the home or surrounding area. By using non-toxic glues, green manufactures give their customers a product that can be eaten off of safely and produce no off-gasses in their homes.
The third step to green furniture is the finish. Many chemicals are used in lacquers, varnishes and other methods of finishing a furniture piece. By using FDA approved oil and water based finishes, green builders guarantee non-toxicity of the woods surfaces.
For those concerned about any of the above problems, going green in your home is the perfect solution. Green furniture may cost a bit more, but the piece of mind you receive is priceless.
These days, carrying an eco bag in the shopping mall is more than just an eco advocacy. It has become a fashion statement for some, even the young, trendy and adventurous ones.
I must admit that it took me a while to get into the habit of bringing a reusable bag whenever I’m out shopping for groceries or other things. So don’t feel guilty if you haven’t started bringing your own bag when you are out in the mall. It takes some effort and a little time to get into the eco friendly gear. What matters most is an awareness of how we can play a part in the environment we all live in, making it a better place for our future generation.
