Eco-Friendlier Scrubbing Bubbles?

I used to really love the power of Scrubbing Bubbles bathroom cleaner, but I’ve grown concerned about the carcinogens in it and the harm it does to the planet. Is there any more natural eco–friendly product out there that works as well as Scrubbing Bubbles?

Recently purchased a fixer upper rental property, What company provides best cleaning products?

I just purchased a rental property that needs a lot of work & cleaning. What company provides the best cleaning products at a reasonable cost & are eco–friendly?

Vinegar and Baking Soda for cleaning?

I have been using this to clean for years now, scrubbing the sink and tub, washing counters, cleaning drains. I always figured that the vinegar was acidic enough to eliminate most bacteria. Am I right or wrong, and if I’m wrong is there a better way to clean that is natural? I refuse to buy antibacterial products (although I guess I do use a 10% bleach solution, which by its nature is antibacterial, from time to time, but only when it is absolutely necessary) and most commercially produced cleaners. Does Seventh Generation or any of those other Eco–friendly products work better than the baking soda and vinegar method?

I would greatly appreciate people providing feedback on this topic.

By the way, sorry about the whole keyword thing, I am simply trying to draw more attention to the topic.

Basicallly I am starting a green goods store because I try to buy everything I can that is eco friendly, and I have found that a majority of it is crap that Ii end up having to pitch anyway, and almost all of it is overpricced for what you get bbecause it has the “green” label on it. Obviously I am in it to make some money, but I am primarily in it to help others to be more environmentallly friendly, be confident in the quality they will recieve, and know that each product was researched for the validity of their “green claims”.

What do you all think?

Where can I find eco-friendly food packaging?

Why do some sheets turn brittle and scratchy after one wash while others do not?

I keep buying sheets that feel incredibly soft out of the box, then after one wash they instantly become hard and scratchy. I buy the high thread counts and the Egyptian whoopdeedo sheets but it does not matter. They are all immediately ruined after one wash. I follow all the advice about cold water and ‘delicate’ setting, and use mild, eco–friendly detergents. An exception is an old sheet that I dont know what it is made of (no label)- it stays soft but has a big rip in it now and I can not find a replacement. I have another cheap, old twin bed sheet that stays soft and is made of half cotton and half polyester… why is polyester softer than 750 count Egyptian or sateen?! Am tired of wasting money and NO ONE seems to know what is going on. The only thing I can guess is there is something about the water here in Los Angeles and certain fabrics. I dont notice this problem with clothes, only sheets. How do I find a sheet that wont go hard in the wash? Has anyone else had this problem?

What should I name my coffee/consignment shop?

Hello
I am about to open up a second hand/ consignment shop with a small coffee bar inside.
I want to call it something like ………’s Bazaar and coffee bar.
My name is Sasha, but I don’t know if I want that to be in the name because a lot of people have trouble with my name already.
My store will sell good quality second hand clothes and other items, as well as art, handmade crafts, jewelry, books etc.
Also part of my profits will be donated to eco friendly causes and I want to use the environment card to attract consignors and buyers.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated

Whats the deal with Megan Fox?

Why is everyone so obsessed with her? Of course, shes pretty, but there are MANY actresses that are just as if not more pretty than she is. She seems a bit conceited.

Is it just me or is megan foxs personality so slutty/stupid? The things she says in magazines are just so retarted.
“Well clearly, I’m not ugly”,

“I was always wearing the smallest clothes I could find. I would go to the mall like that “,

“I just like to stay home and have sex.”

“men are weak puppies”

” I want weed to be legal I’ll be the first one in line to buy some!”

” actors are like prostitutes”

WTF is she talking about half the time! Then shell mock scarlett johansson for being smart and using big words and being Eco friendly. I remember the first time I saw her I thought wow she’s hot look at those eyes! But come on she’s like trailer trash stripper girl who’s so conceited. And talent? Not good at acting. Look at other hot cool smart girls, scarlett jo, natalie portman, bar rafaeli, Miranda kerr, adriana Lima, and if course anjelina jolie!! Am I right? Do you agree/disagree?

-Also, every thing she does is sexual. EVERYTHING. She is always acting very provocatively.

-Did you see her at the MTV awards? SHe was very rude to Andy whathisface acting very condescendigly and looking at him like “Wow. WHat a retard”. ANd when she ws presenting she was acting very bored and too good for it, like “Lets get this over with.”

Commercial ideas for cleaning products?

unique, different idea for a commercial for a new eco–friendly cleaning products and the positive side of the product.

CAN WE MEASURE ALL KIND OF POLLUTION THROUGH CARBON FOOTPRINTS?

All kind of pollution harm our environment directly or indirectly. If we say “reduce your carbon footprints”
it means don’t waste energy, don’t waste water,buy eco–friendly products….etc it means carbon footprint is a common unit for all kind of pollution. Can any body explain how we can link all kind of pollution through carbon footprints.

Some names for my eco- friendly cleaner?

I have a project, that I made an all purpose household cleaner, that is eco– friendly and I need a name to give it for tomorrow. The product has eucalyptus oil in it, but it doesn’t have to be in the name

Eco-friendly way to ditch old makeup?

I have a massive amount of old makeup.

For the most part the culprits are lips products, though I do have one or two old mascaras and shadows, as well as a small but ancient vile of acne solution.

I have no clue what to do with these products other then washing or dissolving them in their containers and pouring them down the sink, which seems like a very enviromentally unsound way to deal with the clutter.

I’ve seen “art” and “costume party” solutions, though I want a simple and stationary way to resolve this issue. Does anyone have any tips or ideas?

Do eco-friendly light bulbs have trace amounts of mercury?

The National Electrical Manufacturers Association or NEMA is a U.S.-based association, which was created on September 1, 1926, when the Associated Manufacturers of Electrical Supplies and the Electric Power Club merged. It is headquartered in Rosslyn, Virginia. It sets many common standards used in electrical products among its over 400 members.

Was the “cash for clunkers” program an experiment for future “Eco-incentive” programs to come?

eventually we will need to reduce our oil consumption by at least half sometime in the next 50 years I don’t think it’s possible without having the government offer a financial/tax incentive because we have capitalist free trade that doesn’t seem to be conducive to cultivating expensive Eco friendly industry. It’s just cheaper to go with the status quo. business is not going to double or triple there cost to make eco friendly products. I checked the price for some biodegradable silverware and it was 5-6 dollars for a 25 piece set when i can go to walmart and buy a 48piece set for $1.35
the 48 piece set was plastic my point is it’s simply more economical for business to simply buy cheap stuff instead of spending more for eco friendly products.

How can I find business partners?

Would work as a team to promote eco–friendly products.
You receive free training and websites.

Where can I find fashionable, eco-friendly carry-on luggage?

My boyfriend’s birthday is coming up. He is a pilot and also very eco-conscious. (…Yes, I know it seems ironic.) He’s been toting around the same old smelly, noisy carry-on for years and I’d like to buy him something that is (A) environmentally friendly, (B) soft-sided but somewhat structured, and (C) not totally frumpy. Sleek or sporty would be ideal.

I’ve looked into a lot of the obvious solutions (Heys, American Tourister’s eco collection, Eco-traveler), but none seem to be exactly what I’m looking for. I like Patagonia’s travel gear, but I didn’t want to get him a rolling backpack or duffle without structured sides. I found a few nylon carry-ons on the REI website, but couldn’t find info. on how they’re waterproofed/whether they’re PVC free.

Does anyone know where I could find manufacturing info on luggage that does not necessarily advertise itself as eco–friendly?

Any suggestions on brands, products, and materials will help. Thank you!

I am the new owner of a product complete with website. How do I change ownership and manage the site?

It is an Eco–friendly product successfully sold via the already established website. I would like to manage the website myself, bring it up to date, and make a few changes. If you are experienced in running a business via the internet, can you help me, please. This is something I have never done before and I want to continue the success of the business. Hope you can help. Thanks.

Have you considered or bought the new Graco Eco-Friendly crib?

Graco debuted a new crib – Dakota Eco–Friendly. Here is the information on it:

http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.d…

If you have bought this or looked into it, what are your thoughts? I would love to get some feedback as our WalMart does not carry it and I am leary of purchasing a crib sight unseen.

and yes. the city girl can be sweet also. and yes the school teacher can be intelligent also.

Will my new yoga mat smell like plastic forever?

I just got a new yoga mat and it has an awful, strong chemical/plastic smell, so bad that I could barely use it during the first class even though I had aired it out for 2 days prior. I washed the mat on the gentle cycle in the washing machine and it has been air drying on the clothes line outside since but the smell is still very strong! Will the smell weaken/disappear or am I doomed with this mat? Anyone had a similar experience? Next time I will definitely buy an eco–friendly mat as I hear they don’t have this smell, but for now I’d like to make the most of what I have, so any suggestions will be very appreciated! Thank you!

Is the start of my book good? I’m 13?

In the planet Starling, everything remained silent. Time stood stock-still after the devastation that had previously subjugated its lands, seas and mountains. It was nothing like Earth; it was a much more beautiful place to be. Waterfalls dominated the rainforests; the sands in the deserts were of the most exquisite golden shade, and everyone lived in harmony, humans and animals alike. Everything seemed perfect, yet a surge of evil was bubbling at the surface, and it was only a matter of time before it forced its way into Starling’s lands, claiming every inhabitant, dead or alive, as its own.
In early November, just before the sun had vanished behind the hills, the community had met up in the village pub to talk about the new arrivals. The pub was at the bottom of the valley, and only members of the village could go there. Not that anyone else ventured so far into the wilderness – no one but the Brown family. They were new, fresh gossip for the villagers, yet a mystery to everyone.
When viewed from afar, they seemed no different from the others. They wore the same type of clothes – flowered dresses and raincoats – their skin was the same colour – ivory – yet when up close you could tell that they were different in some way. They seemed weary-eyed, weak, as if they were battling a tempest inside of their heads, and every single one of them stuck together.
When they had arrived in the valley, they settled quickly into the small cottage on the outskirts of the town. It had been deserted for years, for decades, even. Everyone knew that there was something about them that was strange and new. Different.
As the members of the village gathered into the pub, ordering beer from the man behind the bar, Timothy, there was a strange a uneasiness in the air, as if all of the happiness had been taken away, and there was no asking why.
“So, Tim, did you hear about the new family? Apparently they’re serial killers that moved over here. I wouldn’t be surprised, I mean, I have you seen the look on that brunettes face?” asked Mr Jenkins in a strong Irish accent, scrunching up his face into the perfect imitation of Latisha’s serious face. He was the first man willing to mention them, and it didn’t go unnoticed by the crowd.
Mr Jenkins had immigrated to the new word in 2040, when life on earth had become to upsetting for him after his wife, Margret, had tragically passed away in a car crash. He realised that it would be like going back in time, as there was no technology on the new planet. It was eco friendly – something that earth had never managed to be. Global warming was getting worse, which is why the government had decided to start making a new world. ‘Their best decision yet,’ Timothy had once said once in a drunken stupor.
There were a few exchanged glances, a few nervous looks, before someone finally spoke out.
“I’d keep my mouth shut if I were you, Edmund.” As if from nowhere, a figure appeared from in the shadows. She strode over to Mr Jenkins, who had shrunk back into his chair, and stopped when she was directly facing him. It was Latisha’s daughter, Cleo. She was pretty, with brown hair like her mother’s flowing down her back in elegant curls, yet the look on her face was menacing, frightening.
Mr Jenkins’ face dropped as he caught a glimpse of her eyes. They flashed crimson, as she raised her hands. In one movement, he was on the floor, dead. And so the devastation began.

Please rate out of ten and critique 🙂

Is powder detergent damaging to washing machine?

Found some eco–friendly detergent at a flea market for $1 a box. It’s called EcoPath, and I’ve used it, like it, and want to buy more. Here’s the prob.

My b/f just bought a new washing machine for the house (it’s about 1 year old now), and he’s old-school enough that he thinks powder will damage the machine in the long run. He’s lived in apartment complexes where the machines’ lids and drums were caked in old powder.

But this powder is very fine-grained, and there are no clumps in it., Further, I use (and plan on using no more than) 1/4 cup per load. As long as I dissolve the powder in the filling water before adding the clothes, I say that getting multiple boxes is ok. He’s VERY iffy about it.

I’d love expert opinions so we can feel good about the decision we finally make about using powder or not. Thanx!
The new washing machine is a top-loader. I forgot to metion that. 🙂

Has anyone had a bad experience with eco-friendly laundry detergent?

I tried it, and it bleached white spots on all my clothes, even when they were turned inside out.
This is what I get for trying to be eco–friendly…(the stuff is expensive, too!!)

If you use an eco friendly detergent and it works, what is it?

Yoga pants style? hippie kind of style?

Ok im not really sure this is going to make any sense but… im trying to reinvent my style and i dont really know the style im trying to get. You know the kind of women who wear yoga pants have long hair (sometimes) look like they are always going to yoga class but look stylish not frumpy but are like vegan…ha ha i mean not that every vegan dresses alike but you know what im getting at maybe?

Household carbon emissions?

hey, I’m researching what effect an eco friendly house would have on the environment, and i need some answers. Percentages would be great.

How many gasses ( or what percentage of gasses) would you save using

-solar power and opposed to conventional with micro hydro as a back up?
-Using energy saving light bulbs?
-using natural light during the day?
-using a fire and warm clothes instead of a gas heater?

And how much water would you save using
– a water tank?
-A water saving shower head?
-sensor basins?
-front load washing machine?
-grey water for dishes etc. ?

thanx soo much =D

Tiny itchy red bumps all over face and swollen eyes.. can anyone help?

About a week ago I started using witch hazel on my face. My routine included pouring witch hazel on a cotton ball and wiping it on my face to remove my makeup. Afterward, I would take a shower and proceed with my face wash and moisturizing my skin with Cetaphil lotion after my shower. A couple days later, I noticed some skin irritation on the sides of my nose. By Monday my eyes were very swollen and I developed tiny itchy bumps all over my face that feel somewhat dry to touch. Here is a picture of what I am talking about:

http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f215/jpcougar_70/IMG_0164.jpg

Other then that, possible causes might be because I started using a new laundry detergent. I switched from Tide to an eco–friendly laundry detergent. I should also probably mention that I have bumps caused by an allergic reaction all over my body. However, they are not as severe as the ones on my face, in fact, they are very different to the bumps that are on my face. The bumps on my body are similar to bug bites. I washed everything from my clothes to my pillow cases in this laundry detergent. So that might possibly be a cause or might have added to the problem. I normally have very smooth skin and rarely break out.

Has anyone experienced anything similar? How long will this condition take to go away? Any helpful information is greatly appreciated.

Is tin or plastic more eco-friendly/green?

I need to buy packaging for body products and am wondering what is more eco–friendly.. tin or plastic. In production and terms of recycling, is one better than the other?

Or, does anyone know wholesale suppliers of recycled or eco–friendly bottle/jar packaging (google did not help much).

Thanks!

How do I know if the hemp products I buy are using sustainably grown hemp?

There are so many products that advertise the are eco–friendly because they are made from hemp. Is all hemp sustainably grown?

Can recycling help reduce your Carbon footprint?

I need some data for an biology assignment. Please help!!!!!!!
Please answer these survey questions! Theres only 7!
1 What is your first name? (if you want you can make it up)
2 What is your gender? (male, female)
3 How old are you?

How does an average consumer buy products that are good for the environment?

Much like the “Fat-Free” era of the 90’s there are many products that are claiming to be better for the environment. Most of the time they are more expensive, but how does the average consumer really know that the products they are paying more for, are really better for the environment? From light bulbs, to cars, to paper there really isn’t a single major company that does not have some type of eco–friendly product on the shelf. Is there some sort of rating system (or something) for the average consumer, which will let the them know which companies have really gotten on board the environmental friendly production of goods, and which companies are just pretending?

Is laying concrete more eco friendly than laying kiln-dried bricks ?

i refer to eco–friendly as to the amount of green house gases emitted from the mining through to manufacture and transport and eventual laying of the product. i will be laying a new driveway that will use 5 cubic meters of ready mixed concrete , should i use kiln-dried bricks instead ?

Do you agree that our political correct society has thwarted progress?

Obama thinks NASA should be a tool of muslim outreach. NASA hasn’t done anything useful in a long time. It’s a politically correct , affirmative actions cesspool of liberal hate.

All liberals think that inventing, progressing, and advancing in terms of technology is bad, because it pollutes and is unfair to minorities.

Liberal lawyers have sued so many companies and people, no one wants to risk or invent in America anymore.

If you think i am exaggerating, or full of shyt, look at your appliances in your home. Stove, dishwasher, Car, vacuum cleaner, lawn mower, everything. It has not improved in 30 or 50 years. In 1990, my car got 48 miles per gallon – same as a so-called “hybrid”. In 1960, my grandmother’s washing machine cleaned better than today’s eco–friendly piece of shyt washing machines that use 2 ounces of water and leave your clothes covered with bacteria.
Unbeliveable.
Do you agree or not
yes, we’ve advanced a lot with computers and video games and Google. But i would remind you that those things do not amount to progress.
They are the media of today.
It should be a small part of progress, but it’s 100% of progress. It would be like the 20th century being defined by TV and radio and nothing else. Still riding horses and using stone tools

What am I?(this is not to long)?

okay so i keep being told im an hipster but when i looked it up its says there rude n mean but im nice to everyone even the ppl i cant stand. so i asked the ppl why they think im hipster and its because i got my own style with wearing colorful clothes, fake glasses, i wear converses almost everyday, i love art, and that i take photos a lot, also this one is odd but that i wear a toe ring as a pinky ring cause i want to haha n also some of the clothes pics on tumblr i wear stuff similar. idk if this is important but im very eco friendly n i dont do drugs nor drink.

so, i have a hurley backpack..?

well, im pretty much a prep. i love sparkles, i wear girly clothes with frills and everything, but i have a hurley backpack.. its plaid, black and blue. do you think i can pull it off? or will it look weird, and look like im trying to be something im not?
i also have this water bottle with an ECO FRIENDLY sign on it. hahaha.. am i weird or what?

how should i dress now, cause i really like the backpack.. should i change my image?

there are some girls that wear these clothes, and have a fox backpack, but they pull it off, and idk how to..

On a personal level what else could I do to lower my carbon footprint?

I don’t use the AC or heater.
That’s what jumpers are for.
I can’t go solar I live in units.

Is this a good Christmas list?

I was wondering if this is a good Christmas list. Keep in mind, my parents told me if I got good grades my first quarter I would get most of the stuff thats on my list (i have a 4.0 gpa), and money isn’t really that big of an issue either, hence some of the things on my list.

1. new macbook (the eco–friendly one)
2. blackberry bold
3. 2010 jeep grand cherokee or a audi A4 (i need a new car really badly)
4. DVR in my room
5. new clothes
6. for my credit card to work again

and thats it I guess. does anyone have any suggestions as to what I should change or add??? or what you like? or even what you want? all answers are appreciated 🙂

Eco-friendly projects?

I need some ideas for eco–friendly projects.
Meaning, ALL of the products used are biodegradable.

If you have links to some ideas, please post them.
If you know some projects off the top of your head, please share them.
I can use store-bought products, or stuff from outside.

Where I live, there’s a forest and lake, so you have an idea of some stuff I can use.

R u an eco friend person…?

How can powerless, normal people help fight against global warming ?

Lately,I have invested a lot of thoughts on global warming issues. I’m equaly concerned, but i just don’t know whether I can give any significant support.

For instance, normal citizens like me cannot afford a hybrid car. I would be indebted to save the world..

Furthermore, i wish I could buy all the eco–friendly products in the shops, but they are also priced higher for average people’s budget.

Is it wrong to think that the bigger responsibility should start with the world leaders and corprorations? We normal citizens buy what we get. i say why can’t govts ban any environmentally hazardous consumation?But wait, I know that this could cripple many economies and plummet unemployment, and it’s not everybody who can produce cost effectively for eco–friendly products. Of course,money plays a role here, and who’s willing to invest more cash in R&D.

But until the big powers step up, I’m sorry i can”t be much help. Anybody out there who shares my view point ?
Or if anybody think otherwise, enlighten me…

CLEANING PRODUCTS GIVE ME A HEADACHE.?

Smells give ne migraines, so i’m looking for a multi purpose cleaning spray that doesn’t smell.
Lots of people recommend eco friendly products, but some of these still smell.
Can anyone suggest anything that will clean my kitchen surfaces (even if i have been cutting chicken on it), but won’t give me a headache.

Where can I find eco-friendly plastic package alternatives?

I am looking to sell a product and would prefer to package it in something other than plastic.
