Eating outside is great during the warm weather, but unfortunately you are normally faced with the problem of plastic plates and cups, these are usually no good for recycling and so takes the edge off of the whole eating outside experience.
However, thanks to the Solo Cup Company, there is now an alternative to these products. Solo Bare is the trade name that they call their product line of cups and plates. These are made from twenty per cent po

When Jen’s basement flooded, she was told she’d have to replace her carpet - but with enough research she found a company that professionally dried and cleaned it, then reinstalled - saving her a bundle of cash and saving the dump from a bundle of carpet.
This is one example of carpet recycling and or upcycling. Who is Jen? Jen is a co-founder of Ideal Bite, a daily eco newsletter that covers green tips and resources. The focus of tod

For obsolete computers that have been set aside and left to rot, you may be surprised to note that some of their parts can still be sold at a profit. For one, a little cleaning and disassembly can invite people, particularly the computer technicians, to purchase and make use of these parts for other PC peripherals that are still being used today.

Most people should take their cue from the fact that leading computer manufacture

“There is no stigma any more of wearing hand-me-downs or shopping at Salvation Army or Goodwill”.
This is what Kathryn Finney, otherwise known as The Budget Fashionista said on the topic of recycling clother, from older kids to younger ones.
It is becoming more popular for parents to hand down the jacket (teen) Greg wore last year, to (younger) Peter who now can fit in it. This is a great eco friendly method to keep good clothing out

No matter how large or small your home is, the cost of furnishing it is always going to be high, that is unless you make a conscious decision that you will only buy from certain places and definitely at certain prices which would normally be limited to well below the retail price tag.
Of course we all know that when it come to bargains the one place to look is eBay, some people do not like it, but others swear by it, like the guys over at Apartm

Mobile phones are perhaps the frontrunner as far as how to secure new ones and at the same time recycle old ones. The frequency to which phones are changed can really be astounding and for most people, identifying where to throw their old phones (assuming they are busted), has been something people would least care about.
Thanks to Nokia, a well-known mobile phone manufacturer, aggressively promoting their mobile phone recycling program is sure

In an effort to help sort out and identify the recyclable materials, blue trash bins have become a way to allow local citizens in Auckland in helping the recycling effort. They are now placed there so that people can help in the trash sorting process. Only recyclable materials are allowed to be placed there. Otherwise, they will not be collected.
But to date, many Auckland folks are still ignoring the real use of these blue trash bins. Stickers

If there is one thing that many of us need in today, it is the combination of getting the eco-friendly ideas as well as meeting people who share the same interest. With the boom of social networking over the web, Commuto.com is certainly one social networking site to check out.
With Commuto, you can trade with other eco-friendly minded consumers. Launched just this June, it follows the usual sign-up process done by standard social networking si

With eco friendly ideas being virtually everywhere that you go these days, it is hardly a surprise that at sometime this trend is going to appear in the jewellery that we chose to wear or buy as gifts. These necklaces are ideals as gifts because they display the credential of the person who is going to wear it.
The metal is pewter and each pendant which measures 0.75 inch has either the recycling logo or the word “Greeniac” on it. The chain

You may have thought that a simple tie would not be useful for anything else after the owner has finished with it, but there is nothing that a good designer cannot do with a piece a fancy cloth and a bit of imagination. All for just $16 by Replay Ground.

With millions of CD’s and DVD’s being thrown away each year it might be a good idea to see if there is any way of recycling them, other than using them for coasters or Frisbees that is.

This is a bag that has been specifically designed to someone with the recycling duties as the bag has been given some dividers which keep the bottles from clinking together and smashing, which will not do the recycling scheme any good at all.

It’s clever how some people have vision and the skill to create large pieces of art, which have people thinking about recycling. These structures have been made from old coke cans as part a new promotion for Recycle Week here in the UK.
These sculptures have been made entirely from old coke cans; this means that someone must drunk quite a bit of coke in order to get their hands on so many empties! Well actually it is debatable as to whether th

The thing about recycling is once you get started it is like something has taken over your life, you begin to look at other things around your home and even surroundings that could be recycled. But once you find something that works and also looks great then you could have the basis of business.

If you live in a small town like me, then you already know it can be quite difficult to recycle. The resources for mass use are simply not in place. In my small town the closest recycler is almost 50 miles away. Yikes!
(the bins above NOT available in most small towns)
I believe this distance pretty much cancels out the environmental benefits of recycling. If one has to drive 45 minutes (or worse) to recycle doesn’t this invalidate the eff
