Green Cell Phones



Admittedly, I don’t use a cell phone. I used to, but gave it up when I realized that it did not simplify my life, it simply took up more time. I know, I know, my behavior is archaic and I do find myself reconsidering. Then I think it’s just another gizmo that will pollute the planet. However, three cell phones did catch my eye because they are, relatively, eco-friendly.


The Samsung Reclaim (Sprint) has a casing made from a corn-based bioplastic which is 100% biodegradable. Plus $2 from every purchase goes to the Nature Conservancy.

The Motorola Renew (T-Mobile) is the first mobile device made of recycled water bottles and comes with a postage-paid envelope so you can recycle your old phone
 
The Nokia (Amazon.com) is a BlackBerry-esque smart phone. 80% recyclable and free of some cell-phone toxins like PVCs and chlorinated compounds.


When I’m in the market for a new cell phone those three will start my comparison these three.

Bats... are a Good Thing!

A natural predator of mosquitoes, one bat can eat 1,000 of the pesky insects! Install a wooden bat house to provide bat shelter and encourage them in your yard. Enjoy a much less buggy twilight in your garden! (Not to mention the entertainment value of watching them swoop and feast!)

And.... Happy Halloween :-)

Energy Savings

Worried about energy costs - in money and our planet? Consider the following:

  • American homeowners are eligible to receive $1500 in federal tax credits this year and next toward the cost of a new furnace or other energy-saving improvements. Click for details.
  • Seal leaky windows, doors, and attics against drafts and energy losss.
  • Consider replacing lightbulbs with compact fluorescent bulbs.
  • Unplug coffeeepots, TVs and other small appliances that consume electricty even when they're not in active use or use power strips that cut the power automatically.
  • Install a programmable thermostat.
  • Set your water heater to 120 degrees.
  • Wash full loads of laundry and use cold water. Air dry when possible.
  • Check your faucets and fix leaking ones. Install aerators and low-flow showerheads.
  • Use drip hoses to water your garden plantings.

Gardening Organically

Did you know it's estimated that approximately seven million wild birds are killed each and every year due to pesticide use by homeowners?

Did you know that to make 200 bags of chemical fertilizer it take the same amount of natural gas that could heat the average American home for a year?

Did you know that each year Americans use more than 800 million gallons of gasoline to mow and trim their lawns?

Tips:
  • Save money and conserve resources by gardening organically.
  • Have your soil tested and add only what is really needed.
  • Can you say compost? Add a top dressing of compost twice a year.
  • Spray with compost tea and fish emulsion - natural fertilizers.
  • Mulch your grass clippings. Clippings are high in nutrients and will reduce the need for additonal fertilizer by 25 %.
  • Consider replacing your gasoline lawnmower with a reel or electric one.

Save the planet. Just say no to chemical fertilizers and pesticides.
