Organic Cotton Yoga Clothes

One of the most important things about doing yoga is to wear non-restrictive clothing.  This is why organic cotton yoga clothes are very popular.  They provide enough breathing room that you don’t have any trouble moving into positions like Downward Dog or Palm Tree, yet they are comfortable enough that you’ll enjoy wearing them for more than just yoga.

Solar Energy Catalogues

Making your home solar powered is a great way of saving money, but many people are hesitant to do this.  If you flip through solar energy catalogues, you’re going to see some large price tags.  There’s no getting around it—solar energy requires a pretty big up front investment on your part, especially if you have the goal of moving your home partially or entirely off the power grid.

If you want to start out small, there are several things you can do to reduce the amount of energy you use.  For starters, you don’t have to install those huge solar panels you see in many solar energy catalogues.  In fact, you can install a small 40 watt solar panel to power many different applications.  The 40 watt panel is a midsize solar panel, and it’s designed to provide solar power without straining your budget.

Natural Home Goods

Some people are allergic to chemicals, while others simply want to use the most environmentally sound products they can.  There are a number of different natural home goods that can be used in place of other products that contain harsh chemicals.  Using these products will keep your home free of potentially dangerous chemicals and will help the environment.

In the realm of household cleaners, you’ll find a lot of different natural home goods.  This is one of the areas in which many green companies have focused their attention because of the many chemicals used in cleaners.  These cleaners use only completely organic ingredients.  Take the Seventh Generation All Purpose Cleaner, for example.  It uses natural emulsifier and a natural alkalinity builder to clean almost all surfaces.  It won’t leave behind any odors or residue, and it’s completely safe for the environment.  Citra-Solv, likewise, is a great kitchen and bath cleaner that can be used to cut through the grime in your oven, on your floor, or on your tub.  It’s safe for many different types of surfaces, too.

But natural home goods don’t end there.  There are many different home goods that aim at helping you store and organize your home.  For example, a Cedar Shelf Unit is made from all natural managed cedar, and it looks incredible.  It also gives off a very pleasant cedar scent that will help repel various pests and insects.  Another nice organization option is the Bamboo Laundry Organizer.  This strong and flexible organizer is created from sustainable bamboo, one of the fastest growing materials ever.

Finally, you’ll find some great green pet accessories in any natural home goods section.  These include everything from biodegradable clean up baggies to a device that will stop dogs from barking by sending out special sound frequencies that do not hurt the dogs.

Eco Cleaning Supplies

Finding good eco cleaning supplies can be difficult.  There are a couple of issues—one is that some places simply don’t carry them.  The other is that if they do, the selection is often limited and the prices are sometimes outrageous.  However, one great eco cleaning supply that isn’t too expensive is called Smells Begone.  If you’ve got animals or find your home has some funky odors about it (and come on, who doesn’t have a strange smell in their house every now and then?  I know I do), then Smells Begone may be the perfect product for you.

Solar Gorilla Review

Don’t you hate it when you’re on a trip or out of the office and suddenly your cell phone goes dead?  Or you’re working on a very important presentation on your laptop when it suddenly runs out of power and you don’t have any place to plug it in?  This happens to everyone, but it doesn’t have to.  If you have the Solar Gorilla and Power Gorilla Solar Charger Kit, you can power up any of your devices just by placing the charger kit in the sun for a few hours.

The Solar Gorilla combines two other Gorilla products: the Solar Gorilla Laptop Charger and the Power Gorilla Battery Pack.  These two items combine to create and store hours of solar energy.  You can then use the variety of ports on the device to charge up your many different electronic devices.  A great feature of the combo unit is that it doesn’t just charge up your devices like some do; it will also store power so you can use it to supply power to your phone or laptop later or after the sun goes down.  You can even plug in the Power Gorilla and let it charge up from an outlet, then use it as a battery later.

The Solar Gorilla is compatible with many different cell phones, mp3 players, laptops, and other devices.  It’s even compatible with Apple notebooks if you have a specific adaptor.  The devices are very lightweight and compact, easily fitting inside a standard laptop bag or even a purse.

If there’s any downside to this device, it’s the price.  The Solar Gorilla will cost you $500 or more.  However, if you constantly need to power a device on the go, it can be an invaluable tool.  It can also be great if you want to stop using electricity to power your cell phone or mp3 player.

Loomstate Tee Shirts

When it comes to wearing t-shirts, a brand new one can be nice.  It’s crisp and bright and has that brand new feel.  But on days when you’re sick or just want to hang out at home without really dressing up, there’s nothing quite like the feel of an old t-shirt that you’ve had for years.  These shirts can be incredibly comfortable even though they’re worn and old.  Shirts made by Loomstate Tee Shirts, however, always have that great comfortable feel to them.

Detox Foot Pad Review

You’ve probably seen detox food pads on television or in the “as seen on TV” section of your local department store.  But do these detox food pads really work?  That’s a very good question.  They are supposedly based on an ancient Japanese technique that removes toxins and the like from your body while you sleep.

Organic Spa Supplies

If you own a home spa or know someone who does, then you may want to invest in some spa supplies.  However, there are a large number of different spa supply companies out there, and some of them just aren’t very organic or green.

However, there are a number of different organic products for spas that are offered, if you know where to look for them.  You can find soaps, bath mats, stools, tub caddies, and much more just by searching for organic spa supplies.  Many of these items are made out of bamboo.  No, not the type of little desktop bamboo that you might have on your desk.  That bamboo seems very brittle and easy to break, but large bamboo is actually incredibly strong.  It’s also one of the fastest growing materials on the planet, making it very renewable.

One of the things bamboo is used for is to build folding stools and tables.  These little tables can be used in the spa or bathroom to hold extra towels or other products, but you can also use them as end tables in your living room or as a night stand in your bedroom.  They’ve very versatile and very strong.  When you’re not using them, they fold flat and can be stored just about anywhere.

Wet Cell Battery Storage

Batteries come in all shapes and sizes, but it seems no matter what shape or size, we eventually throw them away.  Sure, rechargeable batteries are great, but few people use them.  Plus, there are very few large sized rechargeable batteries.  So what can you do?  Well, one thing you can do is purchase large capacity batteries, especially if you need a huge battery for a large electrical system or for an upgrade to one of those systems.
