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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Mrs. Green Gear and I spoil our dogs. General Sherman and General Patton get something new everytime we come within a stones throw of a pet store. It’s a sickness, I admit, but It’s always a pleasure to see them freak out over a new toy.
The toys are divided with each dog getting his own, [...]

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 [...]
