Earth Friendly Moving

Earth Friendly MovingEarth Friendly Moving offers a complete moving solution that does away with having to buy cardboard boxes, plastic bubble wrap and tape that all usually ends up in landfill. That’s Spencer Brown the founder and owner sitting on boxes made from recycled containers that you probably bought many of you household cleaning products in. The pallet underneath is made from about 500 recycled baby diapers. That’s just a couple of the many products.

The boxes pictured are RecoPacks and available in four sizes that you can rent for “a buck a week”. The Poopy Pallets help when loading into trucks. Then there are the packaging items like RecoCubes that replace the polystyrene beans or peanuts. They are made from recycled paper sludge, sugar, starch and vitamin B-12. B-12 is a plant food vitamin so when you are finished with them, just toss them in the garden.

It’s not only these products that make Earth Friendly Moving a stand out business. Their fleet of vehicles are veggie oil and bio fuel powered and when the trucks are driving around they are generating power that is then used to help make the Geami packing paper.

They also claim this method of moving will save you time and money, plus the environment. The RecoPacks are cheaper to rent than cardboard boxes and because you don’t spend time assembling and flattening them it takes less time to move. On average about 37 hours according to their calculations.

They are based on California and more information at the Earth Friendly Moving website.

Lauren Spa Organic Sheets

Lauren Spa Organic SheetsThe Lauren Spa collection by Ralph Lauren is a line of bed and bath wares made from organic materials and eco-friendly dyes. With the funds behind the Ralph Lauren organization it means they can take this very seriously and go to the extra effort of having all their products certified by SKAL. This certification covers the manufacturing, processing and storage of organic products.

The Spa Organic Sheeting is pure luxury with the added benefit of being long lasting. This is one of the reasons many luxury resorts around the world use these bed sheets. It is recommended that regular detergents are used and not ones with optical brightening agents. Actually, these detergents should be avoided anyway as they are not biodegradable and have been found to cause skin alllergies in some people.

The sheets are available in both fitted and flat with matching pillow cases and in eight different colours. There are also other bedding accessories in the organic range such as a duvet cover, nightspread and sham.

See the full Spa Organic range at the Ralph Lauren website.
