However, after the dust has settled and the awards have started to lose their shine, what next for Al Gore? The answer should be easy-  An Inconvenient Truth 2. The sequel is always the sign of a good movie, but these are not movies as such they are warnings to us. Nevertheless, “Our Choice” will initially be a book although it carries on from where the movie stopped and there have been a lot of changes in environmental and economic matters since 2006!

Most phone books are actually made from recycled paper and wood fibre waste; it is also true that many thousands of these books are also recycled every year. However, this is not enough as over six hundred and sixty thousand tons of phone books are thrown away each in the US.

The real issues for most products today is how to make it eco-friendly. Apparently this points more towards the direction of packaging where the materials used such as plastic will often draw the ire of most environmentalists today.

Magic Cube is an educational book meant to cover such topics as the alphabet and the manner to which it is packaged obviously shows an overuse of plastic. ZooBooKoo has made the needed revisions to this packaging and has slashed the amount of plastic by 70% and the cube itself has 30 percent less space cost on transporting and warehousing storage.

ZooBooKoo commercial director Karen Wattle said: “Our new packaging is a positive and timely step forward for us. In one fell swoop, we have achieved a great new look to out cube range that retailers love, reduced the plastic content of our packaging and reduced the volume of space required to stock the product.”

The Cube Magic range is described as book in a cube and covers educational topics such as the alphabet, times tables and the human body. The cubes, which have a recommended retail price of about £5.99, can be flipped and unfolded to reveal content.

All knowledge and references can be done by hitting the books. They are and will always be the main reference point of explaining things, including eco-friendliness, to help readers understand and digest what they can do.

Reduce, reuse and recycle. These words are a constant reminder that our environment needs some tender loving care, and one of the ways we can help is to learn new ways to manage waste.

Although we have become accustomed to sorting our trash into separate recyclable containers, there are many other ways to stop household items from filling up our landfill sites.

According to Environment Canada, 17 million Canadians have access to recycling. This is an enormous step toward the preservation of our environment, but, through fun and imaginative ways, we can do better.

Your library has several new books offering advice and helpful hints on how to reduce, reuse and recycle in new and exciting ways.

They make all their soaps by hand, and all are 100% natural, with a vegetable-based recipe. (no animal by product) They use black rice as a primary ingredient for extra cleansing and mild exfoliation.

I took home with me the black rice bar because of its sexy grey color. The handmade soapbar has a fruity scent, but like an exotic premium one. The bar lathers well and rinses clean. The black rice being small and fine makes for a gentle rub, the soap also comes with a freebie skinny loofah which serves as a soap dish.

Retails for $5.99, but the mild divine scent is well worth the extra few bucks.
