Eco Friendly Product Guide

Designer Sara Kirsner has come up with Doie Designs, an eco-friendly bamboo collection that is incredibly stylish and comfortable. According to her Website, each piece of clothing is made from a combination of bamboo jersey, and 100% silk trim.

One stylish item in particular is from the Harusame Collection. The Harusame Empire Cami is very sleek and form fitting, and is an excellent addition to any woman’s wardrobe. This typically runs for $62, but has recently been on sale for $43. Either way or, it’s quite the deal for something this stylish. You can also order directly off of DoieDesings.com, making it your one stop for stylish, eco-friendly clothing.

Browse from a number of Kirsner’s collections. There’s a lot of really nice clothing on the website, and it all holds true to Kirsner’s mission statement.

Recyclables, recyclables, recyclables. This word cannot be stressed enough when concerning a “green” or “eco-friendly” style of living. The guys and gals over at LetsGoGreen.biz understand this on a large scale. As one would hope, all of the products available through the site are Eco-Friendly.

An easy find, and something that we may just take for granted every day is facial tissue. On the site, one can find a large variety of recycled facial tissues, ranging from $2.09 for 10 packs of pocket tissue to $1.59 for a box of 85 recycled facial tissues.

Especially during the cold and flu season, tissues can be used in rampant numbers. It only makes sense to seek ones out that are made from recycled paper. You can even put one in that cube of yours in the office. You will help do your part to protect the environment, and you can stress this level of conservation to your co-workers as well.

Of course, the paper doesn’t just stop at facial tissues…paper towels, toilet paper, napkins, and even copy paper are available through the site. Have a look around, and start getting your home or office on the track to going green.

Compost pails can come in many different styles. One is left with a vast array of colors and configurations to choose from in regards to picking the compost pail that is ideal. However, truth be told – a compost pail can make an excellent Christmas or holiday gift.

If you’ve got a friend or relative that is an avid composter, then you might want to consider buying them a compost pail this holiday season. Compost pails typically run for about $39.99 and are an excellent way to take food scraps from the kitchen to the compost pile every few days. There’s even a charcoal or carbon filter included to keep out messy odors. These pails are great, because you can just throw food scraps right in there and then take them out every couple of days or so. The pails come in a variety of colors to fit whatever design is in the kitchen, from bamboo, to black ceramic, to even stainless steel! You can’t go wrong with one of these. They’ll look great in the kitchen, and the recipient will be glad you have made their life a little easier!

The SideWinder Cell Phone Charger is an excellent way to ensure that you will always have power for your phone no matter what. The nice thing about this charger is that it’s friendly to the environment. Instead of wasting energy charging the phone, the energy used is spent by turning a hand crank. Therefore, you are doing the environment a service, and cutting down on your energy costs.

Not to mention, it would particularly come in handy if you are out camping in the woods and something goes wrong. No need to worry about an outlet or a dead cell phone wherever you are, just make sure you have the Sidewinder with you, and you are in business.

Be advised…if you are using a Motorola Razr or a Motorola Q, the adaptor will not work with your phone. Consider going phone shopping before going on that weekend trip to a cabin in the woods if you have one of these phones and are not very MacGuyver-ish when it comes to camping.

The Sidewinder Cell Phone Charger is available through GreenFeet.com and costs $29.95. It typically ships the next business day, and works with the majority of phones out there.

Water Saver Technologies certainly lives up to their name. They are the creators of the AQUS System, which is an easy to install device geared towards water conservation in the bathroom.

Essentially, the main function of the AQUS System is to take water from the sink, filter it, disinfect it, and then transfer it right over to the toilet. This way, it can be used for toilet flushing. Think of all the gallons of water you can save a year just by installing an AQUS system to your home!

According to the Water Saver Technologies website, the AQUS “can save in excess of 8 gallons of fresh water per day for two person bathrooms with normal activities” (don’t question what abnormal activities are. Some things are left better unsaid). When you do the math, that’s more than 2,900 gallons per year for a two person household and quite a bit more per family of four.

You can purchase the AQUS system for your restroom from Vivavi.com for $295, and if you want to do some additional research of your own, stop by the Water Saver Technologies page at WaterSaverTech.com. As awkward as this may sound, happy flushing!

Gas prices are on the rise. Sometimes, you don’t want to spend the money on gas, other times you are just looking for a more eco-friendly way to get around town. Some people buy a scooter, which will conserve gasoline usage, but eGO Cycles has come up with an even more environmentally friendly, green solution to getting around the city.

A 10 year warranty is available, and the cycles are an excellent way to conserve energy usage. If you want a little bling to your sweet ride, the SE model even comes with some 5 spoke alloy rims. There is a model available for everyone’s unique lifestyle needs.

Introducing the eGO Cycle 2. Electronically powered, rechargeable, and gasoline free, these different models of scooter range from $1549-$2149 and can travel up to 25 mph…perfect for getting around town, around the city, and running those errands day to day.

This product is just plain cool…there’s no eloquent way to describe it. Sometimes, things are just “cool.” I am constantly amazed by what can be made from discarded plastic bottles.

Bagir prides themselves on “Global Innovative Tailoring.” In this case, they have created the ECOGIR Recycled Jacket, which is made from “100% recyclable material, originally created from discarded PET bottles.”

Wow! A suit jacked that looks great, and is totally made from recycled material? 100% cool…you can have a night on the town, look good, and have a unique jacket that is eco-friendly and all from recycled material.

Talk about “global innovative tailoring.” Way to go, guys.
