Remember my blog about Eco-Balls a couple of months ago? Well, since then I have purchased my own and I thought I'd blog to let you know my verdict.They're fantastic! I bought some for £9 in my local market in June and they've got plenty of life left in them. I've saved a lot of money as well, as you don't need any fabric softener or any other product! And as for stain removers, there is a

Everyone likes to travel by car; it's quick, it's easy and you can listen to whatever music you want. But people forget that driving a car is one of the main contributions to CO2 emissions in the UK.But I don't want to ask you stop driving to get to work or go shopping; I don't want to stop. Instead, I think we should take up car pooling.So what is car pooling? Here's a definition from

Recently there has been so much talk on the plastic bag. Usually it's all about how they damage the environment.It's been known for a long time that plastic bags can harm and even kill animals, because they can suffocate them. They are also a danger to young children for the same reason.According to this article by The Daily Mail, plastic bags are affecting animals every where. When they swallow

Did you know that when Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince came out, eco-groups in America wanted it boy-cotted because it wasn't made on recycled paper?Other countries like Canada, Britain, Italy and Germany have committed themselves to publishing the books with recycled paper.Is it just me, or is America adding to our environmental problems yet again?

I was browsing the Internet for some eco-events, when I came across this idea about having an eco-friendly wedding. There are a lot of websites dedicated to these eco-friendly weddings, but I'm just wondering if this is the right idea for someone like me.So how do we create an eco-friendly wedding?There are a number of things that the bride and groom can do before the big day to make sure their

Does it take you three washes to get those stubborn stains out? Are you fed up with wasting water? Then you need Ecover stain remover!I know, I sound like a commercial. But I know how annoying it is to get a stain on your favourite white skirt and it takes a million washes to get it out. It took my mum about two washes at least to get every blue stain out of it; my blue hair cream exploded in my

Grand designs are taking their show to London with an exhibition, which will be broadcast live on Channel Four, starting on Sunday 4th May 2008.But what's so special about this?Remember the underwater home that's wanting to break the world record? Well Grand Designs are doing their own eco-friendly house, so I think this could be a great show to watch for all you environment lovers.

I was wondering if music was eco-friendly, so I typed 'eco-music' into google and this came up; eco-music.net.Take their survey and look at their gallery.

I've just read a disturbing article on the BBC about South African elephants being culled because of surging populations.There was a halt on elephant culling in 1995 in South Africa, but they have brought it back because the numbers of the creatures have doubled. The Government in SA say the culling will only be used in strict conditions.In my opinion, I don't think the elephants should be

On the 10th May, the world's biggest dress comes to Sheffield for the weekend to promote awareness for corporate irresponsibility. Go along and show your support and hopefully the Government will open their eyes and regulate companies in the UK and Europe.

I was looking at these videos on Youtube the other day, and I think they're great. Not only do they promote eco-awareness, but the bunnies are just funny... and cute.They're slightly simple though; telling us things we already know. I think they should be showed to children; my eight year old sister would love them.

A friend of mine who specialises in textiles mailed me some sites about eco-textiles. I browsed the sites and I took to a site called LoooLo. I seriously believe that my prayers have been answered; Christmas is saved this year!You're probably asking what eco-textiles has to do with Christmas, right? Well I'll tell you.I (my mum) always buy my grandparents scarfs and they usually return the

Did you know that in Britain we drink 229 million cups of tea and coffee everyday? It's no surprise that they've made an eco-kettle! How does the eco-kettle work?The eco-kettle has two chambers; a central chamber and a outer boiling chamber. By pressing the button on the lid, the water dispenced into the boiling chamber from the central chamber, which can be filled right to the top. At the

Apparently, Earth Day is held in spring in the Northern Hemisphere and in autumn in the Southern Hemisphere. Its aim is to promote awareness and appreciation of the Earth’s environment. I thought we were supposed to appreciate the environment every day? A strange fact about Earth Day is that it is celebrated twice! The United Nations celebrate it on the March Equinox, which is usually around

Eco-schools look at environmental impact of schools and promotes awareness about the environment in national curriculum subjects. There is also an award scheme, which can promote schools.

As I was travelling back to university this morning on the train, I noticed that the guy opposite me was drinking Kenco coffee with a mark on the cup. Curious and guessing it was something to do with the environment, I decided to research it. This is what I found… Since autumn 2005, Kraft foods have been promoting fair trade to their customers. Kenco Sustainable Development is made entirely from

So what can you do to reduce your water bill and help the environment?Eco-balls are the new way to wash your clothes, without damaging the environment. They last up to 1000 washes and are chemical free. Also, they will save you around 85% on
