Back online once more after my unusual internet service went kaput. I dont have much to discuss but I managed to get this tractor tires piece of writing recently. I hope you like the post. I was not certain with regards to writing this article. Sometimes I think about if some of such tips are even good enough to submit but I figure I will take a shot and trust somebody obtain some significance in the content.
Top 10 Green Products of 2008
Charlotte, NC (PRWEB) December 11, 2008
From light bulbs and water bottles to cars and houses, it seems like nearly everyone is looking for ways to go green. Here are 10 great Eco-products that everyone can enjoy… plus most items are under $ 30.00.
People can save energy with something as simple as a clock. How many clocks are in the average home? How many of those clocks run on electricity or batteries? Why waste all that energy? Take a look at the Eco-Friendly Water-Powered Clock form Bedol, yes water powered. This funky little clock comes in blue, green (pictured), orange and charcoal so consumers are sure to find one that will fit into their decorating style. Fill the vessel with tap water and put the cover back on and the clock is good to go. (Depending on the mineral content in any given municipal water system a clock owner may need to add some salt or lemon juice for the best performance.) Just refill as needed. The clock even has built in memory to save the time when the water needs to be changed. At only $ 16.00 it’s a value no one should miss out on.
New from Cargo Cosmetics is the all natural make-up line PlantLove ™. PlantLove starts with 20 new lip sticks! At only $ 20.00 each (available exclusively at Sephora stores nationwide and online at sephora.com) they are affordable way for ladies to include green living in their daily routine. Aside from the lipstick itself being all natural the lipstick tube is made from 100% compostable corn! Even the packaging is eco-friendly! There are wildflower seeds pressed into the all natural box, just moisten the box and plant and wildflowers grow. And as if all that wasn’t enough $ 2.00 from every lipstick purchased is donated to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.
Americans drink a ton of water right? (At least everyone should.) But why waste money on bottled water that could be laden with any number of dangerous toxins? Most tap water is probably far safer then any water that comes from a 20oz bottle that can cost as much as a whole gallon of gas! Why not save the money wasted on that little bottle and go buy one of the products on this list? What is the alternative to the bottle of water people drink everyday? Check out EcoCanteen! People cook in stainless steel why not drink from it as well? These bottles will hold 26 oz of cool refreshing water or (anything else you choose to put in them. EcoCanteen even comes in kids sizes which is important because the toxins in plastic affect children even more that they affect adults. These canteens are sturdy and easy to clean and with the wide mouth ice can be put in them! The carabineer clip make the bottles portable. And be sure to check out their stylish totes that you can get for free! Eco Canteen can be purchased online.
The Nokia 3110 Evolve is the world’s first Eco-Friendly cell phone! This sleek, stylish phone has everything a consumer could want in a cell phone. Its Multimedia capabilities include an MP3 player, a web browser, video streaming, a 1.3 megapixel digital camera with 8x digital zoom, a media player compatible with several video and music formats, downloadable games, flight mode so much more!

Unlike its predecessors the Evolve’s eco-friendly “smart charger” won’t waste precious energy if someone forgets to unplug it! The charger will reduce itself to minimal energy consumption mode when not in use.
It’s hard to avoid seeing reusable shopping bags everywhere. It seems as though every store out there is carrying them. The problem… 99% of the ones sold by stores are ugly. And who wants to carry around and ugly reusable shopping bag day after day? The solution… b. happybags. These reusable shopping totes are made in the USA and come in many different styles like the Wendy, Cassie, Zoe, Holly, and the Candy. The b. happybags print bags are 100% upholstery weight cotton and cost $ 24.00 each. The solid color bags are $ 26.00 and are made from recycled water bottles (from the mere 20% of bottles that actually get recycled). The b. happybags can even be custom printed for corporate events. And aside from just shopping, think of all the other uses for a good quality bag! (Gym bags anyone?)
When driving down the highway, its hard to miss those scraps of rubber from blown out tractor tires. Once a tire blows the inner tube usually gets replaced and then scrapped. Passchal has come up with a way to solve the problem by reusing the scrapped inner tubes to make handbags and messenger bags that are not only eco-friendly (hooray for not burning tires) but they are also beautiful. They are little pricier than your average purse or laptop case but isn’t saving the planet worth it? Plus the bags are each unique because no two inner tubes are the same. They even have diaper-bags for Dads!
For the animal lovers out there your pets can do their part now too. Bella Creature Comforts are super comfy pet beds that cat and dogs alike will love. These Veterinarian endorsed pet beds have exteriors made from Eco2 recycled cotton fiber and the interiors are fiberfill made form recycled PET (again the 20% of water bottles that do get recycled). Its unique shape not only looks great, but is very comfortable for furry friends. They are even hypoallergenic and washable! They even come in great colors to match and dïr!
Everyone knows the benefits to solar power (like the fact that it is free energy) and more and more people are choosing to take advantage of that energy source. One company has gone one step further. Now you can charge everyday items with sunlight like iPods, iPhones, cell phones, MP3 players, PDAs, handheld GPS devices, digital cameras, even handheld gaming systems! The Solio portable solar charger is an eco-friendly find with great benefits. They come in many different styles and colors and are available at several online retailers and in stores like Target throughout the country!
For families try to teach their children to be more eco-conscious there is the new Indoor Gardening kit from Green Toys Inc. Teach children the joys of gardening with this eco-friendly toy. All plastics in these toys are recycled milk jugs!
