Eco Friendly Products 101

greenisgoodbitch asked:


These are my idealistic plans for future motherhood, which I’ve been told are hippie-ish:
-have two or three children
-give birth at home or a birth center
-use cloth diapers
-refuse to circumcise (so ridiculously unecessary and frankly, stupid)
-use eco-friendly foods, bags and cleaning products
-and I doubt I’ll baptize, simply because I’m not religious/spiritual

What thoughts come to mind…Weird? Cool? Interesting? Just want some opinions….thanks!
I don’t want to be anything. I was just musing over my plans for the future, and I realized that when put together, they sound kind of hippie-ish. Which is fine. “Hippies” rock!
Justin, foreskin is not disgusting and I’m sad that you’ve been brainwashed to thin so. With a little soap and water all will be well with my son’s intact body.

I have this huge Geography Summative and in it we have to go to this website and read something called the Earth Charter. This is basically a set of principles and rules written to take steps towards a healthier earth and to becoming more eco-friendly citizens. So we have to make a chart and go to each point in each principle and write about a benefit it could provide and a draw back it could pose as.

This is the one point I’m stuck: “Internalize the full environmental and social costs of goods and services in the selling price, and enable consumers to identify products that meet the highest social and environmental standards.”

So tell me; if this suddenly started being incorporated into our everyday lives what would be a benefit and what would be a drawback?

I have been thinking of this all week! I need something to design, but I don’t really know what. This is something to do with my spare time.

Just post your idea on what I should design (preferrably household products) and give me 3 specs that it should meet (eco-friendly, light, cheap, soft, hard etc)

Thanks.

Fran asked:


I’ve been making my own shampoo and it saves me a lot of money and I’m very satisfied with my products..BUT
making my own hair conditioner is expensive! I use avocados and certain oils, I think it would be easier if I just purchase one online.
What brands out there work well? (That are earth-friendly and fair-trade certified)

Billy asked:


Hey! I’m currently doing an assignment for college where we have to make up a fake business and do a business plan etc.

The company we have come up with is an Irish Glassware company (like waterford crystal) The name we have come up with for the project is Soiléir Glassware.

We were hoping to design a logo for ourselves but are absolutely useless and were wondering if someone here could help us out?

It’s just something really simple yet professional looking and it needs to have an Irish vibe to it as well as something to give the impression of it being eco-friendly as the idea is for the products to be made from recycled glass. If anyone could help us out it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

hi =]
im a junior in high school and am beginning to look at colleges. although i know i my parents want me to go to a “real school” because i get good grades and do a lot of extra curricular stuff, ive always kind of wanted to go to a beauty school. im really good with makeup and hair and love making people feel beautiful. i approached the idea of going to school and then opening a salon that uses mainly eco-friendly makeup and products (seeing as there is a growing green movement and i am conscious of the environment myself), and my dad said that that was unrealistic because the people going to salons wouldn’t care about that. what do you think? should i go to school for a “real career” or follow through with my idea of a salon? also, do you have any recommendations for good beauty schools? or can you minor in it at a “regular” college?

i appreciate your honest opinions =]

My site is all about making new products from recycled sweaters. Right now we offer a variety of mittens that were once sweaters. I was thinking something along the lines of:

Eco-Friendly Mittens
Recycled Material Mittens
Old Sweaters :: New Mittens

Got any suggestions? The link to the site is below if you’d like to take a look at it. Thanks for any input!

For a school project we need to make a Eco friendly project, so me and my partner are making paint with no chemicals and made from natural products ( fruit,vegetables, etc.) but we NEED A NAME. Eco paint and Bio paint aren’t very original to use. So any ideas will help
