greenandmore eco products

Green and eco products are becoming a major industry. One company in this venue is greenandmore.com. They offer hundreds of eco friendly products and support environmental charities such as Oceana and Healthy Child Healthy World. The company’s mission statement and green practices limit or prohibit their use of plastics, and enforces the use of recycled office supplies, kitchen goods, and 100% recycled cardboard boxes. Their ‘practice what you preach’ attitude is apparent on their website.

Their departments include energy saving appliances, solar power, home improvement, water conservation, eco furniture, among other eco products. Their eco garden, outdoor living, and even home décor products that include clothing, are top notch.

They even include a green learning center. This is the type of place where consumers can find the ‘real’ truth about conservation products. Some of their information comes from EPA and the US Department of Energy. This is posted in their go green blog.

We’ve recently looked into solar power panels. They will cost us $10 000, but we live in Canada, that is 2 – 3 hears heating cost in the winter. If we can even reduce our hydro bill by 20%, we will earn back the solar power costs within five years. We are also looking at the new water heaters that heat the water as soon as the tap is turned, and all the hot water is used, there is no tank. This will save us an estimated $400 a year in hydo (electricity) costs. All together, we hope to drop our hydro bill by 40% within 10 years.
