Eco Friendly products

"Environmentally friendly (also eco-friendly, nature friendly, and green) are terms used to refer to goods and services claimed to inflict minimal or no harm on the environment"

People who want to live green have a wide array of choices available to them today that did not exist just a few years ago. From cleaning products to clothing, garbage bags to groceries, toothpaste to toys - and beyond, there is an exploding number of products that are both good for us and good for the environment.

                                               "This is a very good thing".

In this clip, Dianna Cohen was trying to persuade the audience that they should adopt a fourth "R" to go along with the old "Reduce, Reuse, Recycle", which is REFUSE. Her main point is to get people to avoid buying products that are packaged in plastic, so we can help cut down the plastic waste that the packages produce, which is heavily damaging our eco system. She also said, "In the United States, less than 7% of our plastics are being recycled." It is indeed a humongous waste of resource if we keep discarding plastic packaging, but instead we should use more recycled and renewable materials.



After watching this video and reading lots of information online I am really scared , what are we doing to our planet? to our environment? lets start today our first step for a better future. Here I will show you a few products I found online that may help... tell me what you think.

Shipping Eco-Friendly Products in Multi-functional Packages

This is a beautifully simple example of brilliant green packaging design. It solves three common product design problems at once by:
(1) providing sturdier packaging for shipping shirts, 
(2) making it easy to recycle and (the best part) 
(3) having it transform into something sustainable, reusable and useful that works with the object in the package.

Setting up a sustainable picnic has never been easier with the Compostable Picnic Kit with Tote set from Branch, which includes plates and utensils made from organically-grown bamboo, as well as Tumblers by WASARA (suitable for hot or cold beverages), recycled-paper napkins, and a couple of compostable waste bags for easy cleanup. It all comes packed in a beautiful recycled-cotton tote bag. Kit includes service for 8 – just add friends, food, and drink!


All Loll products are made of recycled plastic reclaimed from post-consumer waste (like milk jugs) and can be recycled again if necessary. Available in nine fade-resistant colors, they are all-weather waterproof and maintenance- free. Made in U.S.A.
