I'd add Deodorant Stones and Berkey Water filters to that list.

Do you have one? I just bought a cheap-o faucet mounted filter but those look intriquing.

Hi parasol, yes I have a Berkey.
It's fantastic.
You can put dirty, germ laden water in and get clean drinking water out.
One set of 2 filters will give you 4000 gallons (black berkey filters) or 6000 gallons (super sterasyl).

You can also purchase add on filters to remove fluoride. I don't have those becasue we have well water, so no fluoride here.

How is a hybrid bike eco friendly? It uses more electricity than all 3 of my bikes combined.

yea, but doesn't the pf-2 filters remove arsenic (http://www.bigberkeywaterfilters.com/berkeyfilterreplacements-c-67/pf2fluorideandarsenicfilters2-p-188 - broken link) too. Not that your well water has arsenic, but some wells do and that's what the filters address I think.

i use eco-friendly products from an online company. They have cosmetics, health foods and vitamins, etc. They even ship with recycled materials and use less shipping materials. Ive been shopping with them this year so far and will continue to. Its also keeping me from having to drive to the store because they ship a certain time each month(a time i set according to my needs)

I work for a company that has been selling green products for over 50 years anything from toilet paper to vitamins and much more. We also sell beauty products that are not animal tested and we also donate a portion of the profits to planting trees, children with disabilitys and building school and homes for less fortunate countrys.
