Grow Dome and Garden Dreams

Summertime is here , weather is sunny and crops are booming. Here's some great Eco Products for the home, and your life. 

Garden Tool Set, $24 VintageABCs

No garden is complete without plants, tools and cute decorations. First up, we have some antique gardening tools for the taking. Buying vintage means you are using something discarded yet fully functional, doing your part to upcycle and not buy mass produced crap items that will further clog the landfills.  Let's face it, if the tools above are still around this means they don't make them like that anymore! These tools above will last you plenty of seasons to come!

The Tiberian GrowDome System is your solution for fresh food.  Find it here:  http://jessegilbert.com/growdome

Next up, we have a Garden Growdome.  This is a must for the eco conscious gardener. The bottom line is before Monsanto, and use of growth chemicals and harmful sprays, people grew their crops and harvested them in a healthy and timely manner.  Now, with population spurts and climate issues, Monsanto backed by large box retailers are under fire for teaming up to mass produce items in a hurry.  This includes spraying them with harmful chemicals, using fertilizers that are harmful, or contain growth hormones.   Long term issues include health problems. 

Now you can be corn fed with natural untainted crop by using this udpated Tiberian Grow Dome system . The mere theory dates back to 14AD --- and has been updated to today's gardeners. This way, you can make a climate to safely grow your plants to the max without the use of pesky hormones and unfriendly chemicals.  The guide is available for less than the cost of a gallon of weed killer, which you don't need anyhow.  Get on the bandwagon here http://jessegilbert.com/growdome

Find this at Fox Hill Llamas : Bird Nester $18

The nesters provide material to help the little birds build theeir own nest, so you can see them in action.  Nesters come in natural, small to large, and even wire casings.  Find out about the process used to make the bird nesters here.

Nest Bedding Organic Mattresses : Sleep Green

Are you shopping for a new bed or mattress and want to go greener? I just found out about NestBedding.com
who offers value priced organic mattresses.  Compare their crib mattress $299, twin $499, full size $529 and queen $599 to those "other green mattress places" that want to charge you $1000-$2000 for an all natural mattress.

First off, Nest Bedding and Mattresses is an organic and natural bedding store featuring all Made in America products. Gotta love that, you are supporting American. 

Secondly, they have the best value-priced, made in America, green and natural mattresses and bedding.

Did I mention they can ship most of the mattresses anywhere in the US for flat fees?  So don't let their location (California) worry you.

Are you picky about your mattress? No worries!  There's something called the Build-A-Nest product, that allows consumers to build their own mattress from components they supply.

I think I'm off to check out the firm nest bedding, that seems to be the top eco friendly choice!

Skoy Cloth from Paperless Kitchen on Shopify

Tests show this Skoy cloth from Paperless Kitchen breaks down into the earth in a short 5 weeks, and can do the same work as 15 rolls of paper towels!  Not to mention you aren't killing trees, and this little guy can hold up to 15 times it's own weight making it perfect for cleaning up around the kitchen, great on dishes, you name it

Just think of the savings to your wallet and the environment right there.  So just what is it?  The SKOY cloth is a European created product which is completely 100% biodegradable; made from naturally occurring materials like cotton and a wood-based cellulose pulp.

LED lights : Get Eco Friendly LED IDEAS Go Greener

LED IDEAS has informed us on how to go greener by use of LED Lights. They  design led lights specific for commercial use, but also talk much of the Benefits of LED Lights.

They have shared these great facts about LED bulbs:

LEDs use at least 20% less energy than conventional bulbs, with the potential to save up to 90% off your energy bills in certain cases. Switch to LEDs and your investment will pay for itself far sooner than you’d expect.

Not only do LED bulbs run more efficiently, but they last far longer. With an LED lighting system in place, bulb changes are an infrequent occurrence. 

LED lighting is safer than both filament and fluorescent bulbs. Because there is no mercury in LED bulbs, they can be easily disposed of at the end of their lifecycle and do not require specialist disposal methods.

But what about your business?

Businesses in both the private and public sectors are now obliged to reduce their carbon footprint, either under existing rules or as pre-compliance in anticipation of impending legislation. LED lighting is one area in which organizations can take clear steps to reduce energy bills. Public and private sector bodies are now obliged to evince that they are committed to making budgetary savings for the benefit of taxpayers or stakeholders. Continued reliance upon outdated technologies such as filament bulbs is a profligate policy that is impossible to justify in an era of ever-tightening budgets. 

This is where LED IDEAS can help.  Their full range of  LED products in their online catalog include tube lights, panel lights, car park lights,  tunnel lights,  even lights for the tennis or squash court, you would be amazed!
