Eco Friendly Products?

Question

I recently decided that I wanted to start buying things that are more Eco-friendly. I know that it helps to bring your own bag to shop with, instead of using the plastic ones they offer. It also cuts down on what you buy!

Any other ideas?

Answer 1

Buy organic products.  (No harmful chemicals/pesticides used).

Learn about biodegradable remedies by making your own whenever possible.

Recycle (including using old clothes as cleaning rags).  Write your grocery list on the back of a junk e-mail letter rather than using new paper to avoid killing more trees.

Go to health food stores that carry many of the latest "green" brands.  (I buy my cosmetics at a good health store and biodegradable shampoo with most of the ingredients grown here in North America).

Drive a fuel efficient car (or a hybrid if you can afford it).  Public transportation is the best if it is efficient in your area.

Buy a solar calculator rather than one with batteries to avoid filling up landfill sites with old batteries.

One lady (link below) even gave her house to "recycling" so give away before throwing it away.

Vote for politicians with clear and "do-able" green agendas.

Visit as many "green" websites as possible for new ideas.  I am still amazed by how much I learn reading them.

Answer 2

Yes you got misunderstood by word ECO.

Eco- friendly products are that products which have no bad effect on this universe either on enviroment or human beings. They shall be free from poisionous contents like lead and shall be easily degradeable-means after their use then can be either recycled or become invisible on their own.
