What is more eco-friendly out of a concrete bridge and a wooden bridge?
I was wondering which one is more eco–friendly and I need a brief description of why one and not the other.
Thank You.
Thanks for the answers so far guys, but what I want to initially know is on the whole, which one do you think is the more eco–friendly and why.
The Expert answers:
You would have to count the total energy cost over the life of the bridge. As well as the safety issues.
As well as the effect on the local environment.
Difficult call. On balance, the concrete bridge would win because of its longevity. Unless you think that dead humans and decaying wood are good for the environment.

What are some eco-friendly products that you can find at your local grocery store in Australia?
I want to buy more eco–friendly products, can anyone give me some brand names to start with?? I am having trouble sourcing any information online. Thank you.
The Expert answers:
Try out Nature’s Organics http://www.naturesorganics.com.au/ they have some personal care and home cleaning products. Check a smaller health food store or environmental shop and the health food/speciality aisle of your supermarket if there is one. Look for things that say “biodegradable, non-toxic, environmentally safe”. Hope that helps some.

Is there an eco-friendly sealer for my granite countertops?
It’s time to seal the granite countertops in my kitchen. I am looking for a sealer that is eco–friendly, nontoxic, and effective. Any suggestions?
The Expert answers:
Yes, but it does not work well in my opinion.
You need a penatrating sealer to keep stains out of the stone and on the surface.
I use Miracle Sealants for polished granite.
To see if you need to seal, throw water across the tops, if it beads up it is ok, if it absorbs into the stone and get dark, sealit again .

How eco-friendly is when a company sell products online?
How eco–friendly is when a company sell products online? Like how can a company help the world by selling online instead of selling in stores.
The Expert answers:
All companies are Pseudo Eco Friendly
They become Eco Friendly just to cut cost or to show that they are eco friendly
Had they been real ECO friendly they would have given incentive to customer when they go for Eco friendly things.
For example Dell stopped Shipping User Manual in Paper form in 2005 to save money but did not share the benefit of reducing the cost with the customer.
These guys just do it to save money. Eco friendly is to fool common man to make them feel that if they don’t get a printed manual its ok coz its saving the environmentt.
