This week has been hell at work. I work for a multinational company, and for some reason, almost all of the bosses from the headquarters decided to pay us a visit. It’s not over yet and we’re expecting the biggest of the bigwigs to arrive on Monday. I guess it’s the best [...]
Gadgets are the most popular gifts this year, and the situation will most likely continue for a long while yet. We all know how much fun and how useful electronics can be, but are you also aware of the impact they have on the environment? From the making of a simple thing, such [...]
Before I write anything else, let me just say that this list is absolutely biased. Everyone has his own idea of great gifts, and I do not expect all of you to agree with what I think is “cool.” However, the important thing about these gift ideas is that they are all eco-friendly! [...]
I know, “greenify” is not really a word, but I liked the sound of it so I decided to use it today. Anyhow, how often do you do your laundry? If you have children, the chances are that you do tons of laundry. Even single people and couples do tend to accumulate [...]

One of the mantras in my household is “Wash your hands please”. When the kids get home from school, before mealtimes, before cooking, after playing, after touching the pets and so on. But when you’re out of the house, using water and soap obviously isn’t the most convenient thing. And the solution a lot of [...]
Remember that awful pet food poisoning scare a couple of years ago? Luckily, none of our pets (5 dogs, 7 cats) were victims of the poisoning, but many people I knew lost their beloved pets because of it. One good thing to come of the tragedy though, was that organic and natural pet food [...]
I used to spend a lot of money on commercial glass cleaners. Not only were they expensive and full of toxic chemicals, but they also never managed to do the job too well. Since I started to try and live a more earth-friendly lifestyle, I switched to eco-friendly products, which didn’t have the chemicals but [...]
