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 sales [...]
One of the most interesting home products I’ve found on the market today are Eco Balls (also called Washballs or Aquaballs). If you have a large family like mine, the amount of laundry soap and energy used by the washing machine is pretty huge, and obviously not good for the environment, as well as our [...]
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 time to bring [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
I’m lucky enough to have hardwood floors in my home but between the kids’ spills and pet mess (we have an elderly dog and a new puppy), cleaning our wooden floors is a challenge. At a loss with what to use, I have simply been using plain water in a bucket with a couple of [...]
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 a considerable amount [...]
I love bodycare products and actually thought I was safe buying seemingly organic or natural brands available at my local shops. Not so, according to Organicgal’s List of Fakies and Non-fakies. Well, I did report on the carcinogens found in kid’s bath products, so this isn’t really isn’t a surprise. My hat goes off to [...]
In changing your ways to greener living, the key thing to remember is: “little things mean a lot” Meaning, you don’t have to go out marching in Washington or move your family to a yurt in the wilderness to save the earth. Take your weekly trips to the grocery store, for instance. Just by being [...]
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 as earphones, [...]
