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 [...]

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 [...]

The battle against body hair has been raging since man first felt stubble and thought, “this is freakin’ itchy!” The amount of testing that goes into the razors we use each and every day is staggering. Think shaving is a simple concept? Check out Gillete’s R&D Budget! Still, unless you’re shaving Croc Dundee style (“now thatsa [...]

Since I had so much success with my preserve toothbrush by recycling, I made my way back to Generation Green here in town and picked up a few more of their products. So, today I’m reviewing a set of recycled plastic cutlery made by recycline. I purchased these for $5.49.
If you saw my last preserve [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Milk. It does a body good. Seriously. As long as you can safely imbibe milk, it’s a great drink. Its loaded with protein and vitamins. It tastes great and goes well with all sorts of foods. Milk Milk Milk… Yum..
There are all sorts of different milks and because of my upbringing and body fat percentage [...]

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 [...]

Mr. Green Gear really enjoys beer. Not so much in quantity, but in quality. Sure, I’ve put down more than my fair share of Natural Light, but as I progress in my elder years I’ve begun to drink less, and less of better and better beer. Not bad huh?
Here in Ohio, some of our better [...]

Mankind hath always enjoyed the look and feel of wood. It is a sign of strength, power, durability, and elegance. Its difficult to imagine a world where wood played a lesser part. Our buildings, our furniture, our fire, and our fences. The Red Wood Forests, Log Cabins, Ships, and the entire state of Oregon would [...]
