Description

A biodegradable alternative to paper towels. The cloth breaks down in five weeks! But can be used for up to a year in the household.
Cotton and cellulose-pulp, chlorine-free.

Created form two mothers in California and based off a similar product one used in Europe in the late 90's.

Sun Oven Solar Ovens and Enamel Roasting Pot

First to recommend

Description

I admit, this is more of a curiosity to me. However, perhaps it could be a viable option to outdoor grilling.

Sunlight enters through the glass door, while the black inside transforms it to heat. Bake, boil or steam similar to the rate of a conventional oven without ever burning.

Collapsible and only 21lbs. Ok, so maybe I'm convincing myself to get one now! How awesome for camping or the backyard!

I've been eyeing these for years. Ideal for ANYONE who cooks and inevidably stands for long periods of time. This is exactly the type of gift that people yearn for and never buy for themselves.

Bamboo Compressed Towelette (10 pack)

First to recommend

Description

Another great alternative to paper towels. Each one unfolds into a 14x20 disposable towelette. The testers got 1-3 weeks out of each one. Kitchen, car, camping!
The only con is that there is a big Made in China stamp on the front; however, if we consider where bamboo flourishes, perhaps they can produce sustainable products.

Environment Friendly Begleys Best Cleaners

First to recommend

Description

After looking into Cradle to Cradle Certification, this is the only cleaner on the list. Now, if you've seen Ed Begley on Planet Green, then you know he goes the limit. What does this mean to me? I don't even question this product...I naturally trust it based on his endorsement.

It can be used on any surface compatible with water. It can even be used in spot-cleaning carpet. Biodegradable in 3-7 days. Of course, non-toxic.

Wine Cork Trivet

First to recommend

2 people recommended this item

Description

A cheap, stylish way to reuse your old corks and still be able to show them off! Love this for the wine-lover.
BTW, buying wine bottles with cork keeps many cork farms in Portugal, Spain and Italy in business. (via Ideal Bite)

Mrs. Meyer's All Purpose Cleaner- Lavendar

3 people recommended this item

Description

I used to blow right past the Mrs Meyers section at the store because I thought it was more expensive. Low and behold, when something goes further, you get more bang from your buck. My favorite scent is Lemon Verbena, but other include lavender, geranium, basil and scent-free. Biodegradable, non-toxic, no phosphates, no petroleum, no bleach, no fumes.

I won't ever turn back.

ChefTools | RSVP Endurance Stainless Steel Drink Straws, Set of 4

First to recommend

2 people recommended this item

Description

Cool style! You know that advice your dentist gives you about drinking dark, staining liquids through a straw so that less staining occurs to the front of your teeth? Well, I've been following that advice via my iced tea addiction and one thing has been bothering me...the straw!

I reuse the same few over and over at home, but believe it or not.............these make total sense to me! My next purchase.
