Products with the Environment in Mind
Are you looking for smart, economical ways to save money at home while saving the planet? Here is a great list of affordable green products that can help you conserve money and preserve the natural world.
Before purchasing an ecofriendly product, the first question one should ask is if by purchasing this product, will I be steadily improving the environment, as is the case with a compost bin? If not,then is this a product that I really need? Reducing consumption overall is the best approach, but when dealing with necessities, buying green whenever possible is the way to go.

A Note on Green Washing
As going "green" has become more popular, companies are trying to green their image without necessarily being sincere about their approach. This can be seen in a simple change of product labels, such as those used on more recent McDonald's and Wal-Mart packaging, which focus on simplicity and a natural look for ingredients, as they attempt to subconsciously grab the attention or ease the guilt of a more environmentally aware culture.
As much of the world's mass produced goods come from unsustainable extraction of resources, even so called green products have environmental impacts. The key is to locate the products that are as truly ecofriendly as possible, while reducing your consumption, and more importantly, learning to do things yourself, such as growing your own food.
Feel free to recommend any "green" products on Amazon that you come across.

Greenwashing in Consumer Products
Green Lawn and Garden Gadgets
I personally bought the Green Tumbleweed composter and after assembling it and loading it up, I think it is going to work very nicely. At our house, we also do worm composting, and will soon start a "cold compost" pile, which will take longer to break down, but has some benefits as well.
Water Saving Faucet Aerators
Low Flow Water Saving Shower Heads
Eco Friendly LED light bulbs
Don't be fooled by the CFL or compact fluorescent light bulb. Though cheaper, it is less efficient than the LED and it contains mercury, which is a toxic material that leaches into water supplies and poisons habitats and humans.
Green Kitchen Wares
Organic Earth Friendly Soaps
Green Feminine Products
Environmentally Friendly Recycled Paper Products
Green Sprouting
At our house, we enjoy growing sprouts for salads and sandwiches. Because it takes a small amount of seeds to produce a lot of sprouts (the starting seed state is missing the volume of the end product) it's a more environmentally friendly way to ship food. Plus it's healthy and freshly grown in your own home. I can personally recommend the three tray sprout garden included below.
Organic Consumables

Transformational Bumper Stickers
