I’m in a club green. In my school it is like the green things to help the environment and other things. We had just started and I’d like to know some good environment friendly products. Also some great ideas how to help with the environment. The way this is a few generations we could be blamed for the apocalypse mostly and we need to do something about it. Any ideas to help the school realize that they can save some extra bucks just my recyclingor buying ccertainproducts would be a big help.
Edit: I am in Pennsylvania and I do turn off the lights and unplug things when I’m not in the room or not using it also I do recycle.

I’m 13 and have gone quite eco friendly. i want to start using toiletries and makeup that are not tested on animals and clothes and things which are good for the environment and animals. with no harsh chemicals. can you make sure they are available in the uk cos that’s where i live.

also, is there any foundations that do not block pores?

can you make sure they are quite cheap because i cant afford the body shop stuff and things like that.

thank you

i refer to eco-friendly as to the amount of green house gases emitted from the mining through to manufacture and transport and eventual laying of the product. i will be laying a new driveway that will use 5 cubic meters of ready mixed concrete , should i use kiln-dried bricks instead ?

Would you consider buying handmade eco-friendly products over the internet, say on Souq.com? I’m planning to start my own business with this idea in mind. So please be honest.

Have an eco-friendly day!
Sorry if I wasn’t clear. Would you buy ANY eco-friendly products? If so, what type of things would you like sold.

Thank you to everyone that answers though. Because it would save me and time and money from creating a business that wouldn’t have clicked.

Let’s make earth a clean place!

I have been using this to clean for years now, scrubbing the sink and tub, washing counters, cleaning drains. I always figured that the vinegar was acidic enough to eliminate most bacteria. Am I right or wrong, and if I’m wrong is there a better way to clean that is natural? I refuse to buy antibacterial products (although I guess I do use a 10% bleach solution, which by its nature is antibacterial, from time to time, but only when it is absolutely necessary) and most commercially produced cleaners. Does Seventh Generation or any of those other Eco-friendly products work better than the baking soda and vinegar method?
