yeah, but buying liquid soap is really not a green option. You're transporting water from one place to another, with the resulting carbon footprint. The bottles are made of plastic - e...

Yes, and even when you're buying "green" products, they're still packaged in plastic, and they still mostly involve transporting water, which is not green at all. Buy a box of baking s...

I'm in Australia, so I wouldn't have thought the bags I can get here are the same as the bags you can get there. I agree people need to take responsibility, but not everyone will. Gove...

I haven't tried the Ikea ceiling one, but lots of people in the UK have ceiling mounted drying racks - they're a good idea because hot air rises, so it's warmer up there. We're about t...

"It's the same with milk and juice cartons, right? Because it's that plastic-y or wax-coated cardboard, so it can't be recycled" can be recycled - in Australia we get them collected as...

Very useful info, although I had to smile at the line: "For example, did you know that lavender, basil & garlic not only repel insect pests but can also be used in food and home produc...

I was thinking of painting my filing cabinet to look like a Chinese cabinet - wouldn't be too hard to do an lacquer-look red and a simple bamboo motif.

Totally hollow victory. It's not green to have biodegradable cups, it's just slightly less pollutey. These still have to be manufactured and shipped, even if they don't hang around in landfill fore...

You don't have to remember to use a phosphate-free washing powder in Australia - they're all phosphate-free by law. What you do have to remember, if you don't want to kill your plants, is to use LO...

I used to have tankless hot water in my previous apartment, and it SUCKED. It would only heat the water by a certain amount, so it was hot enough in summer but not nearly hot enough in...

I had the same problem as 44ounce in my previous apartment - the shower was hideously cold in winter.

Highly dubious, if you ask me. Ozone (which is what is puportedly contained in the water after they "superoxygenate" it) does have anti-bacterial properties, you can use it to clean pools, but it's...

"these are perfect doggy clean up bags, garbage can liners, etc." Actually, they're not - they don't biodegrade in landfill. I'd say skip the plastic bags, and buy cornstarch bags for ...

When we have a party, we stock up on glasses etc from our local charity shop. If you don't have room to store them you can wash them and take them back - a nice donation to charity instead of spend...

You can just fill a plastic soda bottle with water.

This is greenwashing! There is nothing environmentally friendly about liquid soap, no matter how much less landfill the pouch takes up - transporting water is just not on, and using a product that ...

I can't believe a "green" website is advocating imported Italian yogurt in glass jars! Hello, carbon footprint!

I *really* don't like these quizzes - they're far too generic. I scored 1.3, and my biggest badness was food. Problem is, I eat "too much" meat according to these calculators - but the...

Or you could just not use fabric softener. That wastes even less.

I use baking soda for most of my cleaning - it's a lot cheaper than the "eco" products and it's pretty harmless. If I need a nice smell I add a drop of a citrus essential oil, or lavender. If you'v...
