When you mention going on an eco trip or holiday, people would normally be thinking of roughing it, with none of the basics that we all take for granted, such as showers and working bathrooms. However, just because this is a green break it does not necessarily mean that life’s little luxuries go out of the window. Like Perfect Earth Tours, they offer an eco break without having to go without.

I especially have a liking for natural lotions and hand creams, such as Trilogy. This hand cream is infused with organic rose hip oil, which makes for soft hands and even softer cuticles.

Bamboo is one of the most eco friendly materials on the planet, although there is always the worry that if this product become over farmed, then it may end on the endangered list.
In the mean time bamboo is safe to be used and will grow back faster than it can be harvested in some cases. This furniture sold by Stacks and Stacks is made by hand and uses glue and stains which have been certified as non toxic.

This could be called the pudding lamp or yoghurt light as seen on craftzine, but the one thing that this is, is a totally recycled lamp shade which if the materials are chosen in the correct style and design then it will not only look cool, your friends will be asking you where it comes from!
Naturally this can be left to show off it natural colour, but you could also paint it to go in with your own colour scheme, it just could not be any easier

Just imagine how much paper would be saved if all households stopped using them, well if would be great if we could, but there is no alternative. Or is there?
Eco Towl is a great new product which will replace all of those disposable paper towls. Some households could use four or rolls of these paper towls every week just to give you an idea of how many rolls of paper towls are used every single week.
