Finally! Make environmentally conscious shopping easier - much easier.

Well it's about time that someone finally developed a decent shopping engine for more eco-conscious consumers.

With relationships with relatively progressive brands including Patagonia, Seventh Generation, Herman Miller and Burt's Bees, Sigg, and gDiapers it's a cool way to help guide your purchase decisions.

But where there's real value added is with Greenzer's editorial.

Do you BYOB?

BYOB?

Walking around the streets of SF one thing is clear...byob (bring your own bag) is in. Ella and I frequent natural foods and instead of the usual "paper or plastic" question at the check-out counter....now its "do you have a bag".

As the times are clearly changing, it is about time I get with the program - especially since I always feel a pang of guilt when I say "I don't have one."

Green Pillows?

babymomz88 | Aug 09, 2008 | 1 | Posted in Group Forum

My husband and I are ready to replace our bed pillows. We use basic
polyester-filled pillows (the cheapo $5-10 type ones) and tend to replace them about once a year (due to them loosing their fluffiness).

We find these pillows comfortable and planned on just replacing themwith the same things again this year. But then we started to realize that this is a totally ungreen thing to be doing though. There's a whole lot of pillows ending up in a landfill due to us!

Any suggestions on alternative replacements? Pillows that last a long time? Pillows that are better environmentally to manufacture? Or some other suggestion that I'm not thinking about?

Thanks for the help!
