The Planet Is Not In Peril

by mrgreengear on 2 June, 2009

by mrgreengear on 12 February, 2009

The first review I did on Green Gear was a Delta 1.6GPM showerhead my wife and I bought at home depot.  That was our first foray into the world of green products..  Since then I’ve probably reviewed more showerheads than any other product type, but each of them have been around the 1.5GPM flow rate.  That [...]

The Better Bag Reusable Grocery Bag Review

by mrgreengear on 10 February, 2009

Bags Bags and More Bags! I’m beginning to think that the bag is going to replace the stainless water bottle as the international signal of environmentalists.
A few weeks ago we reviewed a reusable grocery bag made by trader joes. Well, almost 30 minutes after that review went live I got an email from Steve at [...]

Lord, I hate being sick. It almost never happens. But a few weeks ago I was 100% legit sick. I had a cold… it’s not the worst sickness but man it gets annoying. One of the things I reach for when nursing a cold is a good tissue. I mean, [...]

Zukay Live Food Review

by mrgreengear on 3 February, 2009

I’ve seen a lot of different products in my day.  I mean, I’ve been shopping my entire life, I run this product website, and I once had a summer job working in the “receiving department” at Linens ‘N Things…. But I’ve never seen a product that has made me so equally perplexed and happy as [...]

by mrgreengear on 30 January, 2009

What is with all the Green Drinks?  First, 360 Vodka, then Great Lakes Beer… Now the Bota Box?  One thing is becoming very clear.  Green People are Drunks.
Except me…

I was shopping at Generation Green in Columbus, Ohio the other day and Mrs. Green Gear pointed me to something I’ve been looking for for a while.  A recycled boot tray for indoor or outdoor use made by DII.
I hate coming in from the winter cold and getting dirt and water everywhere.  Even if i [...]

Patagonia Capilene 3 Base Layer Review by Green Gear

by mrgreengear on 28 January, 2009

I like to spend a lot of time outdoors.  When i’m not reviewing green products or otherwise being busy I enjoy Camping, Running, Hunting, Fishing, and Hiking.  All in all, I enjoy nature.  But sometimes, especially in Ohio, it tends to dip a wee bit below freezing and makes being outside less enjoyable.  I’ve always [...]
