I Hope everyone is having a great weekend!
A few weeks ago Dave over at HighSierra Showerheads asked us to review his new low flow showerhead, the 1.5GPM (gallon per minute) FCS-200. And, as always, we were happy to oblige.
The first thing you recognize about the HighSierra FCS-200 is its design. It isn’t very long and [...]

I really like aerators! Who Doesn’t? They cost very little. They Save Water and Money AT THE SAME TIME!!!!
Enough aerator love! Today I am reviewing the Neoperl Bubble-Stream Dual Flow Kitchen Aerator. This is a chrome finish aerator that allows the user to choose a .5GPM spray stream or 2.2GPM flow with the click of [...]

The city I’m proud to call home, Columbus, Ohio, has begun offering a green certification to individuals, businesses, and not for profits, that commit to making environmentally sustainable decisions regarding their daily practices.
I like this for a number of reasons. First, it offers consumers a familiar sign to look for as they do their daily [...]

If you’re like me you’ve been spending a lot of time in and around retail stores as well as viewing TV ads on TV you’ve noticed the proliferation of green products. Jeez, even some products I didn’t think of as green are being sold that way. It’s getting to the point that it’s very confusing [...]

You may not have noticed, but the “cleaning” aisle of your local grocerier has been expanding. It is being invaded by new “clean” products. These products are void of traditional cleaning agents such as ammonia, alcohol, phosphates, or petrochemicals and the earth, as a [...]

Toyota Hybrid X – Sexier Cousin to the upcomming 3rd Generation Prius
I’ll admit it, I’m skeptical of hybrids and their “environmental” benefit. While they certainly help emissions and most importantly the weekly cost of gas to the consumer, I don’t think we’ve really thought out the environmental impact of using a 150lb. laptop battery to power a vehicle, [...]

Lest you think that just because Green Gear hasn’t posted a product review in a while that I’m sitting on my laurels only sharing my really good opinions on people/earth-friendly products with those who are close and dear to me…. I’m actually just pretty darn busy. I’ve got a ton of products to review, eco [...]

Dirty Jobs: Brown Before Green
by mrgreengear on 18 December, 2008
Count Mrs. Green Gear and I as loyal disciples in the Church of Dirty Jobs, vis a vis Mike Rowe, on the Discovery Channel. The show makes stars out of everyday people with incredibly interesting jobs. They go to work, do hard work, make a living, and enjoy life… something that I wish I had [...]
