Eco Friendly Products 101

Permaculture bella asked:


A lot of the skills that used to be used are very eco friendly. Do you have any of these eco friendly skills? Do you still use them?

I am thinking about the old skills which used things they had to hand, because they grew locally or used recycled materials such as:
bottling, jam making and preserving
willow items, baskets, lampshades
coppicing, drystone walling
curing meats and skins
making home prepartions for toiletries, medicines
making carts, buggies, trailers,
making own gardening implements/tools
bee keeping, making beeswax products
rag rug making, darning - who can darn now?

Any other old fashioned eco friendly skills you have?

Hi, I am looking for inexpensive organic foods and eco friendly household products that won’t be to expensive. Our local grocery store has a very small organic section. I am slowly converting and I need garbage bags, cleaners etc. As far as fruits and veggies I am growing my own but kids snacks and that kind of stuff I can’t find thats a resonable price. Does anybody have any good websites they can share? Thanks so much.
