Green Product Reviews and Creative Easter Eggs
Ever wonder if the greener products work just as well as the ones that you’ve already used?
Huddler is an awesome website that just contacted me, to let me know just how awesome they are.
This new site allows you to rate your green products and to check product reviews. Basically, it’s a Consumer Reports for those interested in sustainable living. I’m pleased to see that Seventh Generation laundry detergent got a strong review, and my friend Mimi approves of it as well. (I need some!!! And remember, at Whole Foods, you can just keep refilling the same laundry containers. Sweet.)
Another interesting site I found is a blog called Fake Plastic Fish. Beth is trying to completely eliminate disposable plastic use from her life. I like her post about plastic women’s razors, and the history of marketing for shaving for women… but I’m kind of an info geek like that.
Also, I know this is a little bit late, but I think it’s a good example of how we can make things healthier by using less chemicals. I guess I hadn’t thought about the extra dye that’s left on the egg after you peel it, until this video!
haha! this reminds me, my mom made deviled eggs and she dyed the hard boiled egg without the shell!!!! I probably ate some chemicals. damnit! haha
HAha did this happen THIS year??? Sorry I have to laugh. You… probably did eat some chemicals. I wouldn’t make it a regular thing.
Does Whole Foods refill any brand of laundry detergent or just Seventh Generation?
Whole Foods provides Restore detergent. They also have dish soap and hand soap. You simply need to purchase the refillable container provided by Restore. I believe that each time you refill the 32-ounce detergent it costs $9.99, and each ounce is supposed to be enough for one load. I know that Mimi loves it, and I’m looking forward to trying it!
