Is there a good organic eco-friendly face soap?
I have sensitive skin and so I need something with no perfume, but I want to buy an eco–friendly soap with no phosphates or toxic things in it. I also want to buy deodorant with no aluminumm in it. Where can I buy these products?
The Expert answers:
Dr Bronner’s. Jason is not organic despite their claims. They use chemicals in their products that are not natural. They can do this since there is no organic standard for soap/cosmetics.
Dr Bronner’s is and always has been 100% pure and natural and uses all certified organic ingredients
see http://www.organicconsumers.org for more about organic cosmetics
Michael asks…
eco friendly transportation from over seas?
what are some ways a company who have been burning coal and other fossil fuels for fuel to transport their product from over seas can change to become eco friendly and still transport their products from over sea but not use fuel or coal? in this case providing a clean and not so expensive way of transporting.
The Expert answers:
You could probably put on solar panels on the ships, and maybe hook up the ships to a wind turbine when in port, and that would cut down the needed fossil fuels, but I don’t know of a way to completely get rid of fossil fuels entirely
Daniel asks…
Where can i get funding for my small green/eco friendly business?
I have started working on an online store called YourGreenApple.com that sells eco friendly apple products. the startup costs wouldnt be huge (only around 3k-10k depending on how big i want to start my stock) but i cant afford that out of my own pocket. i know that with the Reinvestment act that was passed there are lots of grants available for small startups, and on top of that my business is fully green, so i’ve heard that there are more grants for companies like that as well.
i’d like to know where i should go to inquire about these types of grants.
thanks for reading!
The Expert answers:
There are no government grants for commercial business.
You can approach venture capitalists for a grants from another company.
However, you only need a couple of bucks, a personal loan would be easier. Generally capitalist are looking for things in the millions, not a couple weeks pays.
Thomas asks…
Looking for some truly eco friendly cosmetic companies?
I have been doing some searching on the net, and I haven’t had much luck finding many small eco friendly cosmetic companies. I am not looking for some mass marketed makeup that comes in a green box. I am more interested in smaller companies that sell organic/fair trade products
The Expert answers:
Nvey Eco is a certified organic cosmetic brand. You could give it a try. I like their eye shadow palletes 🙂 Mind you, they are a little pricey, but I guess it all depends on what you want to buy. Heres their website.
