Walmart really isn’t green.

Thursday, December 20th, 2007

Wake-Up Wal-Mart Blog: Wal-Mart’s demand for cheap goods strikes again!
Walmart says they are at the front of the green wave, starting to provide eco-friendly products. I personally havn’t seen any there, but who knows. Anyway, this article originally in the Huffington Post reports how Walmart has gone back on its ‘green statement’ and is […]

IXI: The Recyclable Bike

Tuesday, December 18th, 2007

Heres something for next year’s Christmas list: the totally recyclable bike! The iXi bike is made from aluminum, which means its recyclable. Most bikes either end up at the dump or as a piece of art when its at the end of its road, but the iXi allows you to send it on its way […]

Solar Pool Cover

Thursday, December 13th, 2007

As I see snow coming down outside of my window, I figure I should post something warm and summery.
Here in Canada our summer is limited to just a handful of months with good heat, so we tend to take our swimming pool season seriously. Solar or gas heaters aid in extending the swimming season, […]

So in the Christmas spirit here in London, I’ve brought together a few ads out in the shopping market that most businesses don’t want you to see.

London Ontario Composting

Friday, December 7th, 2007

The most recent enviro-news in the London area is the concideration of adding green composting bins to the collection. Right now the city is debating on what to change to the garbage/recycling/compost situation. As much as I love the almost random day of the week to put out my garbage (which has led me to […]

The Brelli

Friday, December 7th, 2007

Marked as being the ‘world’s most stylish umbrella’ (their statement, not mine), the Brelli is a new umbrella that is 100% biodegradable. The canopy is made from bio-plastic and is said to decompose within 2 years, while the rest of the umbrella is made from bamboo. It comes in two sizes and the canopy material […]

Billboard Power Plant

Tuesday, December 4th, 2007

Our friends at Treehugger.com are always one step ahead in the eco news. Maybe they make it up, i dunno, but this story is from their site(but in my own words).
Here is a great way to advertise solar power, and an idea of how to power lights in the future. Its simple, yet I don’t […]

Santa is going to die!

Monday, December 3rd, 2007

At a recent festive tree lighting in Seattle, Mayor Greg Nickels used his speech before the lighting of the lights to bring a new global eco-threat: If we don’t stop using normal light bulbs, Santa and his reindeer will die! He then proceeded to pass out energy efficient bulbs.Apparently scaring kids into using the bulbs […]
