How cool is this? This would be great on a long camping trip or for small, small loads (since we should always use the washer with a full load, right?). But be sure to use environmentally friendly detergent!

It is made of plastic though :(
but what a saving of water, electricity and detergent.

Drought Buster downspout rainwater redistributor

Description

I'm not sure about you, but I am constantly watering parts of my garden here in Ohio. This attaches to your gutter, then you attach a hose to it. For those that don't have a rain barrel or those that do - use on a part of the house where there isn't one. They say 1" of water gives you 1,000 gallons of water. Conservation and saving money at its best. (via The Alternative Consumer)

Biodegradable Plates, Cups & Utensils

5 people recommended this item

Description

These are probably some of the most attractive biodegradable disposables (made from sugarcane). They are unbleached and FDA-approved food-safe. Safe for microwave and freezer, are oil-resistant and good for hot or cold foods.

They can be composted, torn up in pieces and added to your garden to compost, or cleaned (with no oil residue) and recycled with paper.
Also available on Amazon.

"StalkMarket products are made from Bagasse, the natural cellouse fibers that remain after sugarcane has been processed to remove all the liquid "juice" from the sugarcane stalk. Natural fibers such as these will biodegrade in the presence of heat, moisture, oxygen and microorganisms that feed on the fibers as part of their normal diets." (via Treehugger)

What's Your Solar Potential? - RoofRay

First to recommend

Description

Find out how much you could be saving with solar!

Enter your address and a satellite image of your house appears. Add solar panel spots and the angle of your roof and the program calculates how much you would save monthly, on your electric bill, if solar panels were added.

I couldn't get the right electric company to pop up, but I got an idea anyway. Perhaps if I signed up, it would be more accurate. (via Treehugger)

Greenware Compostable Cups, 16 oz., 50/Pack at Staples

First to recommend

Description

Look what is at Staples!!! Made in the USA from renewable corn (though not organic - it's a step in the right direction). They are only $7.49 for a 50 pack, so if you buy these for a gathering or work, please advertise that they are compostable and easily found around town!

For COLD beverages, since they will start to melt with heat!

Ok, so these are not in the mid-Ohio Staples, so be sure to call and check! (via Ideal Bite)

Description

Ok, so most people won't go out and splurge on all eco-friendly school supplies, but what if everyone tried to incorporate just one or two products into the mix. It would be a start.

Leave the petroleum out of crayon to save more for our cars! These soybean crayons claim to be brighter, flake less and draw smooth.

LUSH -- Hair Care Products: Squeaky Green Solid Shampoo, SLS free

First to recommend

Description

For some reason, it is so hard for me to "go green" on hair products. My hair is fine and thin and is very tempermental. However, after seeing these solid shampoos - this will be my next purchase. There are many, many flavors, so check this out. Very honest reviews are posted with each flavor. In addition, ALL ingredients are listed - for those fans of Skin Deep.

This one contains nettle, rosemary and tea tree oil.
Most of their products are now sodium lauryl sulphate - free.
Best of all - NO PLASTIC BOTTLES!

White Blackout Panels

First to recommend

Description

Well, if you rent or are in an older home and just can't do anything about new windows, this may be a short-term fix. They can help insulate the window, but I have issues with the no-light thing. However, when my fiance works midnights and all the light shining through the window mid-day affects his sleep...well, this just means...Christmas! He has complained about the brightness for years now, so, no more.

The material isn't so eco-friendly, but the potential energy-savings is worth mentioning.
