eventually we will need to reduce our oil consumption by at least half sometime in the next 50 years I don’t think it’s possible without having the government offer a financial/tax incentive because we have capitalist free trade that doesn’t seem to be conducive to cultivating expensive Eco friendly industry. It’s just cheaper to go with the status quo. business is not going to double or triple there cost to make eco friendly products. I checked the price for some biodegradable silverware and it was 5-6 dollars for a 25 piece set when i can go to walmart and buy a 48piece set for $1.35
the 48 piece set was plastic my point is it’s simply more economical for business to simply buy cheap stuff instead of spending more for eco friendly products.

Specifically i’m comparing these two tv’s - http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=10993794
http://www.walmart.com/Vizio-32-LCD-HDTV-VW32L/ip/5623472

Which is better?
Please don’t say “Its better for the environment”
please answer the question and not state your own opinion (I know vizio will not last like your hitachi, but I simply am on a budget)

LANDON

For instance I:

Turn off the lights when I’m not in a room
Take short showers
Deny plastic/paper bags at store when I only have a few items
I don’t have kids which saves alot period.
(check out “Human Footprint”)
try to chose products made locally

MAGNOLIA

I am a edgy person and I wear a lot of dark colors and I really hate it when my clothes fade. I was wondering if there are any eco friendly laundry products that prevents fading or have minimal effects to dark clothing.

Please give me good answers!

Thanks ^^

SIEGFRIED

we are using metal / SS / aluminum fabricated plates, bodies and also stickers for face of product. We are presently getting metal painted from a spray painter or powder coating shop. And the stickers are printed with normal printer and have adhesive at the back. We would like to switch over to a green option even if there is a little choice in colours and otherwise. It goes in industrial consumption so attractive color / finish isn’t that important

TERREL

A friend of mine raved about it, so I bought one, am waiting for it to arrive but am wondering if it’s worth the money (they were quite expensive).

I looked into it and found some good reviews in aquarium magazines and studies done in Japan and India with eco bio blocks being used in sewer systems and water treatment plants so it seemed legit. Anyone have any experience with them?

Earth Friendly cleaning supplies, cosmetics, body care products, etc.

I would greatly appreciate people providing feedback on this topic.

By the way, sorry about the whole keyword thing, I am simply trying to draw more attention to the topic.

Basicallly I am starting a green goods store because I try to buy everything I can that is eco friendly, and I have found that a majority of it is crap that Ii end up having to pitch anyway, and almost all of it is overpricced for what you get bbecause it has the “green” label on it. Obviously I am in it to make some money, but I am primarily in it to help others to be more environmentallly friendly, be confident in the quality they will recieve, and know that each product was researched for the validity of their “green claims”.

What do you all think?
