Okay, I’m seriously liking this new place I just found. It’s called Greenzer. I don’t know about the rest of you, but with “green” being the “IN” thing this year, it’s actually gotten more instead of less confusing. I’ve been trying to make earth friendly choices forever, based on… well, the best I could do to understand my choices! Nowadays, when you’d think it might be easier, there are so many fake greenies out there it’s daunting. What is the green choice when shopping? “Biodegradable” is a term that doesn’t tell us much, when we really think about it. So “it”, (whatever it may be) “bio” degrades. So what? What are the environmental cost of the item’s degrading process? What kind of toxins and pollutants does it leave behind as it breaks down? “Recyclable” is only good if the means of recycling are reasonably convenient and if the recycling process doesn’t make more of a mess than the garbage! “Recycled” materials can be a misnomer as well, meaning only leftovers from the manufacture of other products…
What is a consumer to do?
Over at Greenzer I found a full line of organic and eco friendly products for my home, office (that would be home office in my case, but you get the idea) and garden and just as importantly (if not more so, if you are as confused by all the green hype and claims as I am), a veritable wealth of information on comparing products and making the green choices best suited to my lifestyle and needs! They even have a Green Blog!
I like it a lot. To me, this is a seriously green endeavor. Check it out.
Peace, out!
