  Refurbishing Better Than Rebuilding   Green Resources (0)

  To refurbish or rebuild? That is the question. Is it more environmentally cheaper to knock down your old house and rebuild it so that it’s squeaky green? Or is it better to convert what you already have?
  Many house builders claim that new homes are four times more efficient than older houses. Sure there’s the initial […]

  “Organic” Defined   Green Resources (0)

  What is “Organic” anyway? We all know it’s a good thing, and we try to buy it even though it’s a little more expensive. But what does it mean? According to The National Organic Program,

  To Consume, or Not To Consume?   Green Resources (0)

  You’ve made the switch. You sleep on 100% organic bamboo sheets, dry off with organic cotton towels, sink your toes into a rug made of recycled plastic bottles while surfing online for the newest organic clothing trends by soy candlelight.

  Self Cleaning Fabric   Green Resources, News (0)

  Hurray scientists! They’ve developed a neat little goo to coat cloth in that cleans itself! Can you imagine how much water we would save if we never had to use the washing machine again? It would also greatly reduce the amount of eco-destructive cleaners that are used.

  Paint: it’s on your walls, on your ceiling, in the air, in your lungs. Because of the negative impact on human health and our environment, volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are regulated by the Environmental Protection Agency.

  Step Away from the Bottle   Green Resources (1)

  Everyone’s doing it. Look around. See how many people have one in their hand right now? They take them everywhere; buy them in packs at the store, heedless of the danger every time they put it to their mouths. Bottled water, it’s not as healthy as you think it is.
  Sure some of it comes from […]

  Naturally Beautiful   Green Resources (0)

  We all want skin that is soft, well moisturized and free of blemishes. That’s why we spend so much money on lotions, creams, cleansers and scrubs. We rub gallons of the stuff into our skin each year trying to turn back the hands of time without wondering what it is that’s really in those bottles.

  Power Independent Notebook Concept   Green Resources (0)

  Laptops are great. You can take them pretty much anywhere and be connected to the world…as long as there’s wi-fi…and as long as your battery doesn’t die; which wouldn’t be so bad if you could find an outlet to plug it into…if you remembered to bring the charging cord in the first place. Ok, so […]

  Eco Grass Munching   Green Resources (0)

  The birds are singing, the animals are romping, and the pollen is killing your nose. It’s spring! That magical time when the world comes back to life and things start growing again. This also means it’s time to bust out the lawnmower. Sigh. Could anything be less fun? They’re loud, they smell bad and they […]
