I am developing a product that will help reduce waste, particularly paper and I want to know what environmentally friendly company I should partner with to have a “seal of approval” on my product. Would the EPA be the best bet? Thanks!

We’re starting a small dairy operation, which means we need to have hair nets and other sanitary gear. Our goal is to create a sustainable and eco-friendly dairy operation. But all the hair nets I’ve seen are made from plastics: polyester, nylon, or polypropylene. It doesn’t seem right to run a dairy producing products for people who care about the environment and about the food they put in their mouth, while using non-biodegradable supplies in the process.
Is there a source for biodegradable hair nets?

Hi everyone!
I am currently working on a newsletter for the vet clinic where I work and was looking for quick input. The theme is “Going Green: Eco friendly pet tips” and will cover natural foods, biodegradable litter, composting, and other environmentally friendly products on the market for pet care. Any suggestions on what you do to promote a green pet (cat, dog, fish, pocket pet, horse, anything!) would be greatly appreciated. I just recieved the assignment today and would love to hear from as many of you as possible as soon as possible.
Tell me what you do to go green. Even if it just using recycled materials, I would love to hear and share your suggestions (with your permission - so if you post, it may be published, so by posting here you are giving permission!) with our community, staff, and clientele.
Also - is there one big area of focus you are interested in as pet owners? While the major article will focus on tips in general, I have a secondary and tertiary article to address a particular area of eco friendly pet care in depth. What specific themes would you (as a pet owner) want to know more about? Would you rather read more about natural diets, grooming, waste disposal, specific products.. etc?
Thank you in advanced for all of your ideas and input. If any of you are interested in reading the final product, let me know and I will link you to it (it is posted online as well).
Just as a note so no one gets upset - I will be posting this question under general pet, dogs, and cats to make sure I can recieve a wider range of answers!
Yikes! Not a pet lover are we. Just to note though, animals on thier own are perfectly eco freindly (as they are a natural part of the environment and ecology). What makes pets not eco friendly is the support they require from humans, meaning it is the owners that are not eco friendly. All I am asking is for other people’s opinions on eco friend ways for the owners to care for thier pets - reducing that impact on the environment. If there is nothing educational or informative to be gained, then don’t bother to answer.

Going out of your way to buy eco friendly products like shade grown coffee, recycled materials. Spending some time cleaning up waste, and hazards you notice in your area. Setting up your environment to where it is friendly to as much life as possible. Saving wild animals. Clearing and replanting trees to where devastating forest fires do not occur. (Believe it or not human habitat has made forest fires more devastating to the environment by fighting fires and changing layouts than good) Hunting predator animals, and others who become over populated and imbalance the food chain, conserve water. etc?
Who do you think is really more consciece and stewardly regarding the environment?

looking for eco-friendly designers that make long lasting products.

Target used to carry a brand of cleaning products called either “Good Sense” or “Good Scents” it was an eco friendly brand, and smelled great. It disappeared off Target shelves, anybody know if it’s still made and where it can be purchased?

So I’ve noticed in the past month or two they seem to have suddenly phased in a new bottle cap on Coca Cola products. It’s smaller and lighter, with wider grooves — my only thought is that it’s a response to the Poland Springs ‘eco-friendly bottle’ thing. Perhaps they’re trying to show they use less plastic too.
Has anyone seen this new cap? Is it a national roll-out, regional? Or am I in a test area?
If you’ve seen it, mention what region you live in

I’ve checked out several, including New Grass and Syn Lawn. I’m leaning towards New Grass, if anything because it is eco-friendly. Does anyone have any experience with a particular brand? Thanks.
