Bamboo - 7 reasons to look at bamboo

1, Bamboo grows rapidly and naturally without any pesticides, herbicides or fertilizers.
2, Bamboo clothing is 100% biodegradable and can be completely decomposed in the soil by micro-organisms and sunlight without decomposing into any pollutants.
3, Growing bamboo improves soil quality and helps rebuild eroded soil.
4, Bamboo grows naturally without the need for agricultural tending.
5, Bamboo plantations are large factories for photosynthesis which reduces greenhouse gases. Bamboo absorbs about 5 times the amount of carbon dioxide and produces about 35% more oxygen than an equivalent stand of trees.
6, Bamboo fabrics and clothing can be manufactured and produced without any chemical additives.
7, There are no known genetically modified organisms (GMO) variants of bamboo.

Plastic Bricks - Lost to New Zealand

http://www.odt.co.nz/news/dunedin/121078/otago-man-makes-plastic-fantastic

What a shame the US missed the opportunity to work with this inventor. But I'm happy that New Zealand is supporting recycling.

What a cool concept. I would guess we have decades worth of "fuel" stored in our landfills!

Goodwill, better business grow from going green

Goodwill, better business grow from going green

I love doing business with local and eco-friendly businesses...but we live in a Big Box world. As long as we are going to have Big Box and chain stores, it's wonderful that some are following green practices. For ecological or economical reasons - the result is the same. Change a lightbulb, change the world:)

Popping Up with Great Ideas

http://www.helium.com/items/1927270-packaging-materials-that-are-safe-for-the-environment

The way you decide to package your mail could harm the environment as well as yourself. This article brings valid points about Styrofoam and bubble wrap being toxic to the earth and humans. If you plan on using popcorn the next time you send a package, like this article comments on, there are a multitude of ways for the recipient to reuse the all natural, biodegradable and delicious stuffing!
*Use for composting
*Food for birds or pets.
*Use for Holiday decorations (Christmas stringing, filling for a Halloween ghost or a glove for a creepy hand)
*If you are really brave you can put some butter and salt on and eat away.

Next time you send a package think twice about what you are using for a filling. :)
