Are you doing your part?

2010 March 4

Check this out, in South Africa one company, Eternally Solar, has started the SA EnviroChallenge.

Their goal?  To replace half a million water and energy wasting shower heads with efficient, conservation heads.  This would result in over 1 Million tonnes of carbon not being released into the atmosphere each year!  That’s the same as over 300,000 cars permanently removed from the roads!!

This is one company.  What are you doing to make a difference?

Bathing suits already…?

I was at Target today and the bathing suits, summer wraps, and shorts are out and ready to be purchased. This makes me realize although it’s cold, Spring is around the corner. Why not make a list of the things you want to get accomplished for Spring Cleaning in a few months. By making a list now, you can slowly start tackling projects that can make your home run more efficiently.  Not only is cleaning important for Spring, but make sure windows are sealed, leaks are plugged, and excess clothing/furniture is hauled away to people who may need more than you.  Every little thing you do can make an impact on your daily living.

Eco-Friendly Apathy

2010 February 8
by oxyjason

I’ve noticed over the last several years that the number of “Eco-friendly” products, businesses, websites, TV shows, etc., has gone through the roof.  Unfortunately, in my humble opinion, this isn’t due to an actual increase in eco awareness; it’s due to the huge number of dollars being spent on “Eco” products.  Now that almost everything in our lives has a “green”, “eco-friendly”, “sustainable”, or “made from recycled products” label, I’ve noticed that people are growing increasingly apathetic to the Eco movement.

Without a little leg work it’s not easy to see who is really working to help the environment and who is slapping a “green product” tag on their packaging to joint the crowd shoving their hands in consumers Eco pockets.

Remember, just because a product is made of recycled materials doesn’t mean they aren’t also dumping tons of chemicals into a local water supplies or outsourcing parts from someone who does.

Don’t let the apathy get to you too, take a moment to look past the labels and see what products are really doing their part to clean up the earth for future generations.

Not only is recycling clothes great for the environment, but it also provides clothing to people who may not otherwise have anything.  Instead of throwing last season’s jacket in the trash, why not recycle it so that it can warm a  poor child that has never had the luxury of a coat.  One person’s trash can be another’s treasure.  Help a family in need this holiday season and give back to your community.
