This has been a question which has been hanging around for years now, could you tell the difference between a $10 bottle of precious Fiji mountain water and a nice ice cold glass of tap water? Well for around eighty four per cent of the UK public this was an impossible challenge as they could not tell the expensive bottled water to that which came out of the tap!
With three billion empty bottles heading for the land fill every year in the UK alo

How much land is 16 acres? You could probably easily fit about 10 small houses in an acre so 16 acres is about the size of 1,600 small houses or 64 749.7028 meter squared for those of you in international countries.
Florida Gulf Coast University, a college opened in 1997 with a focus on the environment, was given $8.5 million by politicians to start a big solar farm of 16 acres on its campus.

Hi, guys i have found a series of eco friendly futon covers from a loyal reader of our blogs, his name is Matt. I like to call him Futon Matt. He specializes in all sorts of futon mattresses and has been in the futon business for over 7 years. That’s alot of time to be around any one thing. LOL.
Let me get serious for a second. I was perusing the site that Matt has created and on the left sidebar is a section devoted to his eco friendly o

What a great way to promote sustainable products, these are made from cork which is a totally sustainable product that comes from a tree. But unlike the cork that pops out of a wine bottle these are an entirely different thing altogether in fact unless you take a real close look at these items it is pretty hard to tell that is in fact cork and not some precious stone or something.
You are able to choose between a necklaces, earrings or a set o

It makes a change from wearing gold and silver, being able to wear something that is eco friendly and looks great too.
These earrings are made from a nice dark coloured wood, but even though they may look heavy, they are in fact light and finished with some silver French wires which just adds to the classy effect.

This has to the ideal gift for all of the green pals that you have, this is their opportunity to get a bit of grass growing inside their home maybe on the window shelf or if you can get away with it maybe even at work.
It’s amazing what a nice bit if green can do for everyone’s self esteem. Anyway you get the soil and seeds in with the planter, but you will have to provide your own water and scissors to keep it nice and neat.

Nike has a line of eco friendly footwear and apparel that are made with recycled materials and are locally sourced. The name of the line is Nike Considered.
This is an attempt by Nike to green-up and become more sustainable, one beef i have with this green line, is you have to climb mountains to find it on their website. Nowhere is it prominently displayed or brought attention to. I only found the line through their search feature. I would thi

In Reno, NV the first flight powered by 100% biodiesel took place two weeks ago with the Bio Jet.
The Bio Jet is the creation of Green Flight International and although it has flown in the past with a mixture of jet fuel and biodiesel, last week was the first time, that it flew with only biodiesel. The plane is a L-29 military aircraft and this is what the founders of Green Flight International had to say in response to their concept:

Love this table made from a reclaimed iron fence, it has a glass top, and the fence makes it look avant garde, but accessible. It makes for a great mag table for a cool living room or maybe a den.
Isn’t this recycled fence table gorgeous?
Uhuru, is behind this maverick eco chic masterpiece, they are an eco friendly design company that makes chic and sustainable pieces out of reclaimed materials.

We Americans love to pamper and treat our pets like family, i myself have 3 cats, and although i do not have a dog, have always wanted one. As we think of living green and how we can make a difference in the world, our pets remind us that we need to be mindful of the planet, when we feed, shelter, and groom our four-leggged pals.
Dogs (generally speaking) don’t like the water much and well ditto triple for cats. But it is recommended t
