I saw an ad for Scotch-Brite Greener Clean products last night.  They are made from natural fibers and / or easily renewable or biodegradable materials.  They seem pretty nice, but I’m not convinced.  Has anyone used these products yet and have a verdict?

They claim that you can use them over and over again instead of paper towels.  I’ve had poor luck with other products that claim the same thing, so I’m skeptical.

The New Bricor EcoFIT Showerhead has Landed!

by mrgreengear on 14 March, 2010

You know we bring you the best, right?  Well ladies and gents I’m happy to say that the fine folks over at Bricor have given us the chance to see their new, budget friendly, EcoFIT showerhead a chance to review.  It is in my shower as we speak.  The main difference is that this head is made with ABS plastic.  It has a flow rate of 1.25GPM and features the same vacuum system of other Bricors.

I know you’re all excited for this product so I’ll work hard to get you the review on this product as soon as I can.  Stay tuned!

Audi “Green Police” Superbowl Ad Causes Uproar!

by mrgreengear on 9 February, 2010

On the whole, i thought the superbowl ads this year were pretty lame… Good thing I watch football FOR THE FOOTBALL.. WHo dat? Anyway, there seems to be a minor uproar over Audi’s “Green Police” Diesel TDI Ad where everyday citizens are being subjected to arrest by eco-policemen for using plastic water bottles and not composing.

Check out the ad above, what do you guys think? Funny or an early warning of the upcoming eco-police state?

HP Laserjet P2055d Business Printer Review

Let’s face it, generally speaking printing stuff isn’t green.  I mean, c’mon!  You’re using a moderately large electronics device that was shipped across the globe to print tiny pieces of chopped down trees in your home office.  A lot of green bloggers out there could take aim at all printing companies for keeping us from [...]

Lodge Cast Iron Cookware Review by Green Gear

When it comes to green products, I’m a simple man.  I can do without all of the hyper-marketed hocus pocus mumbo jumbo.  It’s cute and all, but nine times out of ten its main goal is to inflate the eco-bonafides of an otherwise marginal (or horrid) product.  Deep down in my green as grass heart, [...]

In addition to the numerous comments our review of Eco Canteen received,  as well as on the youtube video page, I’ve received many emails directly telling me of less than pleasant experiences with the people who sell ecocanteen. People have also voiced concern over what they feel are excessive shipping and handling expenses.

The Truth About Cash for Clunkers

Mr. Green Gear is enjoying a lovely summer.  It’s nice to take a break from the reviews.  Earlier today I was reading the model blog The Truth About Cars and noticed a part II to their editorial on the government program Cash for Clunkers. 
Once in a while, borrowing from regional peculiarities of grammar and syntax [...]
