In the humble opinion of this green product reviewer, the best green products are the ones that are designed from the get-go to use less. Products that are designed green from the inside out. Creativity and Ingenuity are supremely important in the process of designing products, especially green products. But, often the greatest result of [...]

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, [...]

A week or so ago I published a review of the Source Recycled Toothbrush. The Source was a very stylish brush with a “wood” handle made of recycled paper fibers. I liked it well enough. It looks good in my bathroom, but when i went to pack for DC I found that there really wasn’t [...]

So I caved. After seeing Vince and that damn Shamwow commercial, I made my way to the “as seen on TV” shelf end at my local target and plunked down $20 of my hard earned green to see if I would say “wow” every time.
For those of you who don’t know. The shamwow [...]
