With so much talk about “green” living, saving energy, buying the right clothing and recycling, green cuisine seems to be the red-headed step child of the world’s effort to make sure that everyone is living better and saving energy. However, green cuisine will be a big part of it because we need the food industry to get on board if this movement will ever be truly successful.

It may be the middle of the winter, but it is never too soon to start to make plans for how you can make your patio look better. As someone who is trying to make their home as “green” as possible, making our patio “green” is a top priority. All of our old patio furniture took a beating with the rough storms and it is now the perfect time to replace it and make an eco-friendly statement.

We are obviously here to promote “green” living and it was a little disappointing to read that bamboo products are not necessarily considered green. This will truly be upsetting to people that have bought various forms of bamboo clothing and bedroom products, as just about every site on the Internet is promoting them as the next great thing in “green” living.
The myth of bamboo gets shattered during the processing of the bamboo. While the actual growing of the bamboo is considered eco-friendly, what happens to it once it gets to the processing plants is anything but. It is this very process that takes it from one end of the spectrum to the next.

We constantly hear chatter about how the government is encouraging people to go “green” and how great it is going to be for the environment. Based on the $2,300,000,000 tax credits that President Obama handed out in the beginning of the year, the U.S. is ready to put their money where their mouth is and make it even more attractive for companies to continue to convert their operations over to green technology.

While consumers may not think that they have a large voice in what corporations produce for the marketplace, they have more power than they realize. Just about every type of company out there has some type of government incentive to produce eco-friendly goods, but many are still not willing to make the small investment to make the world a better place.
The problem with buying products that are not “green” is that the corporation has no incentive to change over and start making safer products. Baby bottles are a perfect example of this. Many of them are still manufactured with unsafe compounds that have been proven to be harmful in the development of a child, yet they are still in production and worse, people are still buying them!
