Having a party? Perhaps you may even want some napkins available when you dine? Normally, you would see the usual disposable paper napkins but at the rate that trees are disappearing and paper waste growing, the initiative has to come from people who care very for the planet.
Apparently, you can book another eco-friendly alternative thanks to FabiKins. FabiKins offers bamboo-based eco-friendly napkins that are sure to help preach the environmen

We have seen various alternative ways to create energy and this one is something worth looking into. From the usual solar energy panels to hydrogen power, imagine energy being generated from potato waste. Now that is something.
In my previous post I already put out a post that some groups in the world today are looking to transform their trash to energy. While there were no specifics, this is because there are a lot of different waste categories

What do you do with excess garbage that landfills can no longer accommodate? For most, the immediate answer would be to recycle them. But for Ineos, turning waste into fuel is similar to turning trash to gold.
By 2011, this is what Ineos predicts to happen. They are planning to put up a large scale waste to energy facility which will ultimately produce bioethanol and help address the growing fuel problem the world is experiencing at the moment.

At times, we often think of ways to be able to make events and occasions as lively as possible. Normally we would use balloons or confetti. Some even throw rice. If you think of them as a whole it is a waste in terms of food and adding trash woes as well to the environment.
With the BLAST Biodegradable Poppers, you can add that spice to celebrate events. These biodegradable poppers are made of recycled tissue-paper, making the occasion differen

Scheduled local events such as festivals or “fiestas” as they are referred to in places like the Philippines often signal a period of eating, celebrating and fun. But while many of us simply want to focus on the “fun” part, there are ways to hold them while at the same time preserving the eco-friendly practices we are hearing today.

How long does trash last?
Well, I believe that glass bottle can be recycled easily but it does take 1 million years for it to dispose itself.
Anything plastic? Possibly 500 or more years.
Not recycling yet? Well, you should even if you don’t live in a city that poorly supports recycling.

If you are wondering what you can do to contribute to the whole green awareness thing we are all trying to frantically know these days, a lot can still be done so in the traditional way…hitting the books.
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.

There is so much trash around these days that some people are actually getting down to doing something about it. In this case it is the Trashy Bags people from Ghana, West Africa, who are cleaning up in more ways than one.
As the organisation motto reads, “Our bags are complete trash” which is a pretty good statement.
They collect as many of the plastic drink bottles that have been discarded throughout the country of Ghana. They then so

They say that art is getting people to discuss the finished article, and this will definitely be the topic of many conversations as to whether this is art or not. Personally I like recycled art it show us all that no matter what the items are they do not have to be treated as trash.

We are at an age where most consumer products are thrown in the waste basket once they have lived up their useful life. A lot of them are either broken or have been simply tagged as unusable. But while most consumers look at replacements thereafter, there are various ways to turn trash into gold.

Apparently, many of the recycling efforts in parts such as Mont Cuet have shown solutions towards the efforts and such has been lauded and commended.
Similar breakthroughs are expected from other regions as well and as long as these recycling efforts

Its amazing how we get tired of some of the furniture that we have at home, sometimes it just gets dated, while occasionally the item make break of get damaged, in which case this would nearly always end up in the trash and onto the landfill.
But what if sometimes this old furniture could be recycled into something useful, yes it may take some work and time to get it into a usable piece, but the end result can be spectacular and most of all yo

If you around your home you are bound to find an old CD, it may just be an old AOL one or possibly one that does not work anymore, either way normally they would just be thrown away or end up in the trash on its way to the land fill.
CD’s are great, they are hard wearing and shiny, they are just made to be put into something shiny and recycled, well they are made for another purpose, but recycling is better and looks fantastic.

One thing that local governments have to address once a new year starts is the fact of making detailed itineraries of their plan for the coming year. The year has just started and for some counties, the best way to detail their projects for the year is how to manage and take out the trash.
Indeed, all countries have to deal with trash and waste management. It has been something that has been going on for years now. While some find the usual lan

We all know that everything is going up. Prices have so far been becoming an issue and this covers everything from everyday needs up to that of vices we all look for today. Controlling our trash may be the next one in line considering the waste management companies may perhaps raise their prices as well since all other factors are leading up to it.

All efforts to help minimize waste and guide people to turn to recycling when it comes to managing their trash is evident. However, the world needs to note that their rising increase in the amount of waste that they need to dispose is slowly nearing limits and the overall victims would be the rest of the inhabitants of earth.
As a means of determining how much waste each individual is producing, this new “chip and bin” has been developed to

Now here is something good to ponder on. For people who carelessly throw away their waste, maybe they can take this cue of being charged for the amount of trash they throw away. Perhaps in this aspect, people can see the amount of trash and the effort they throw in recycling and doing their part in the whole climate change and global warming issue we all read about today.
Last week the government shelved a similar recycling idea at the last min

Some people like to have a little rummage around the bins to see what can be used, whereas to other people it would seem to be a definite no no. But it if you look at the story of Elizabeth Gibson from Manhattan, in New York. She was walking home from getting a coffee when she noticed an object out with the trash, she had a look and noticed that is was a painting, she took this home and put it up on her wall, that was four years ago.

Now there is a great use for all of those menacing rubber bands that get everywhere and break when you actually need them.
The rubber bands are taken by artists and designers like Christiane Diehl who takes trash and then makes into wearable and desirable fashion jewellery.

This is a neat little idea and not only do you get to use up one piece of trash, you get two.
The coffee cup and the light are both real nightmares in the recycling circles, and so to make something that actually creates a new plant too cannot be all that bad.
Full instructions on how to make this for yourself are available here!
