Green Bathroom

Many people profess to being “eco-friendly” but do they really practice what they preach? I mean recycling is nice but other than trying to take shorter showers what do you do on a daily basis that helps the planet? And almost as important, especially these days, what can you do that doesn’t cost allot of your own precious resource…money? The answer is a Hand Bidet Sprayer.

Green and Clean
With one of these you save dramatically on toilet paper use everyday. This not only helps the environment by cutting back the demand for toilet paper production, which uses tremendous amounts of water and chemicals, but it saves you money….everyday. You also have improved hygiene; clean and green.

How Green
Now you may think you are using more water this way but actually you are saving water by using a more efficient cleaning device and by cutting back the demand and therefore the production of toilet paper which wastes huge amounts of water. Many people will use the sink or shower to wash up with and a Hand Bidet Sprayer uses only as much water as you need and precisely where you need it. It even has health benefits with Hemorrhoids and Rectal Itch.

Why Don’t We Have these Now?
The simple reason is because historically we have had the best plumbing in the world and before people thought a bidet was just too much. The Hand Bidet Sprayer came along later in Asia because they could not flush wads of toilet paper down the pipes without clogging so they developed water washing to help with the situation. This later evolved into the Bidet Sprayer which they kept even when their plumbing improved to the point where now they can also flush toilet paper down the toilets, and they do, just allot less of it.

The Best of Both Worlds
So now you can have it all, which is what we like right? You can have your ultra soft toilet paper and not feel guilty because you are using so little of it now. You can help the environment. You can save money. You can be fresher and cleaner and save precious resources and you can even improve your heath.

Comfort Foods Redefined
(Friday, 03 September 2010) Written by greeniac211986
Most people cheer up to a bowl of creamy mac n' cheese. The foods that are commonly referred to as "comfort food" are usually decadent traditional treats that are full of flavor, but also carbohydrates, fats and sugars. And most of the time after I indulge, I end up feeling guilty after the initial comfort. But switching out a few ingredients for some more nutritional ones, these new recipes show some tasty treats in a whole new light.

Thank you, Big Banks!
(Tuesday, 31 August 2010) Written by greeniac1217
"Blasting off mountaintops to reach coal in Appalachia or churning out millions of tons of carbon dioxide to extract oil from sand in Alberta are among environmentalists’ biggest industrial irritants. But they are also legal and lucrative.

For a growing number of banks, however, that does not seem to matter.

After years of legal entanglements arising from environmental messes and increased scrutiny of banks that finance the dirtiest industries, several large commercial lenders are taking a stand on industry practices that they regard as risky to their reputations and bottom lines.

In the most recent example, the banking giant Wells Fargo noted last month what it called “considerable attention and controversy” surrounding mountaintop removal mining, and said that its involvement with companies engaged in it was “limited and declining.”

The bank was a small player in the sector, representing about $78 million in bonds and loan financing for such companies from 2008 to April of this year, according to data compiled by the Rainforest Action Network, an environmental group tracking the issue.

But the policy shift by Wells Fargo follows others over the last two years, including moves by Credit Suisse, Morgan Stanley, JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America and Citibank, to increase scrutiny of lending to companies involved in mountaintop removal — or to end the lending altogether."
