Are You Sure they are Eco Friendly Products?

Wednesday, April 8th, 2009

Now this is a loaded statement, eco friendly products. In my search to find these products I came across t-shirts, hats and bags all imprinted with the words eco-friendly. But if one looks a little deeper one can locate earth friendly. Recycled and reclaimed is a statement many places are using to draw you in. There are also items out there made of natural parts like palm leaf baskets, wooden masks and 100% wool rugs to name just a few, are these eco-friendly? Is this one way to go green?

There are also stores that advertise they are eco friendly. They generally have a supply of earth friendly products along side things like Better Living Products and Fair Trade Products.  Make sure you know the difference if you truly want to buy eco friendly products. I have nothing against fair trade products because they help support people in developing nations with a fair price for their goods. But that does not mean they are environmental friendly.

Just like the stores that sell eco friendly bags. Yes using a cloth or plastic reusable bag instead of taking that disposable plastic bag the stores give you to bring home the products purchased is good for the environment. Just be sure the bag you use was made out of eco friendly materials. I have seen some made out of plastic with the words eco-friendly embossed on them. Who are they kidding?

Remember it is all of our responsibility to know the difference. It is not a fad to be eco friendly, environmentally friendly or a Green consumer it is a way of life. Do your research. The better informed you are, the better choices you will make. Do not fall for the quick gimmick some marketing agencies use. We only have one earth.

There are many types of green renewable supplies in our world but not many companies will solely stick to this type of product line. But Green Building Supply of Iowa has made a good reputation by doing just that. This environmentally friendly home center has all the supplies one would need to make a small repair to refurbishing the entire house and still only use green renewable supplies.

The best air purification system sold at the store has a perfect rating MERV 16. As for natural flooring, there is a wide variety to chose from. Not surprisingly this company sells new wood and ecotimber for flooring but recycled carpet tile, recycled tile and reclaimed tile for resale. The underlayer is also made of recycled material, which will continue to reduce the purchaser’s carbon print on the world.

For the family that is worried about accidental poisoning, the Green Building Supplies offers dozens of non-toxic household and commercial cleaners that actually work. This is good not only for you and you family but also the environment by reduce the use of volatile organic chemicals that are present in most typical household cleaners.

There is even a supply of recycled counter tops for you to chose from. They have a supply of paperstone and vetrazzo that by being recycled is cheaper and eco friendly.

Most people are use to purchasing energy and water saving appliances from their building supply stores. This center handles some of the most efficient on the market. From tankless water heaters, and water saving toilets to energy star dishwashers and laundry appliances. There is even a compost factory that uses worms to eat your trash. This 5 tray system will help not only reduce your contribution to the local landfill but also provide free fertilizer for those beautiful flowers or hearty vegetables so many people thinking green will grow.
