Spending time in the outdoors is by far one of my favorite things to do. That is why I love living in the middle of the forest. I can walk out my door and enjoy nature without ever leaving home.  But, there are times when I do want to leave the homestead and spend time somewhere else. However, as with any other thing we do, spending time outdoors also produces an impact on environmental. From how you travel, to the gear you purchase, how you build a campfire, and disposing of trash it all leaves an environmental footprint.If you want to spend time outside and still be environmentally friendly, then this is an episode for you.

Another year comes to an end and it's the perfect time to set some new year's resolutions. While some people stick to common resolutions like exercising and losing weight, others prefer to go green and start a sustainable lifestyle. Reducing your plastic waste and going green are the best things you can do to protect the environment in 2022. According to the United Nations, 8 million tonnes of plastic end up in the world's oceans every year! So, it's time for a change. In this article, you will find 10 useful eco-friendly products that will help you go green and reduce your plastic waste in 2022! Why Should You Go Green in 2022? Unfortunately, the Earth is drowning in plastic waste and it could get worse if the throw-away culture continues. Although single-use plastics are practical, they're destroying natural ecosystems! Because of that, it's important to go green and replace these items with eco-friendly products. With this simple action, you won't contribute to plastic pollution and you could even inspire others to take care of the environment too! What are Eco-friendly Products Most eco-friendly products are reusable alternatives to single-use items. They are usually made from safe and non-toxic ingredients, sustainable materials like bamboo, recycled or recyclable materials like stainless steel. Likewise, some eco-friendly products can be cruelty-free or biodegradable. Before buying all kinds of products labelled as “eco-friendly”, you should know what makes them good for the environment in the first place. In short, they shouldn't harm the environment during their production, use or disposal. If you don't know where to start, below you will find some useful eco-friendly products to go green and plastic-free in 2022! Eco Products List: Reusable Straws Reusable Bottles Reusable Cutlery Beeswax Food Wraps Bamboo Toothbrushes Solid Soap Bars Reusable Shopping Bags Reusable Lunch Box Reusable Travel Mug Plastic Free Biodegradable Sponge Reusable Straw A great and easy way to start your plastic-free journey is ditching plastic straws. Something as simple as a plastic straw can become a huge problem for the environment and wildlife. In fact, it's estimated that around 8.3 billion plastic straws are polluting the world's beaches! The good news is that you can easily replace them with reusable alternatives like reusable eco stainless steel straws. They don't take too much space, so you can always bring one with you to enjoy your drinks! Reusable Bottles If you have access to clean water and yet you buy bottled water, it's time to stop. You're not paying for water, you're actually paying for the plastic bottle. And what's worse, you will probably throw it away sooner or later. So, you're just wasting money, aren't you? A better alternative would be investing in a good reusable bottle and fill it with clean water when possible. With this eco-friendly alternative, you will save money and protect the environment! Reusable Cutlery Most people use plastic cutlery for a few minutes and then discard it, without thinking about what will happen after this. Well, these items won't get recycled because they're too small, so they will probably end up in the ocean. According to the Ocean Conservancy, plastic cutlery is one of the most deadly items to marine life! If you want to go green in 2022, a great option would be using reusable wooden cutlery when eating takeaway. Beeswax Food Wraps Another great eco-friendly product you could use to go green and move away from plastics in your kitchen is beeswax food wrap. You won't need more plastic wrap because beeswax wrap is a good plastic-free option to keep your food fresh and are reusable! It's made from organic cotton, sustainably sourced beeswax, organic jojoba oil and natural tree resin. Additionally, you don't need to worry about disposal because you can reuse it a few times and it's biodegradable! Bamboo Toothbrush It's recommended to change your toothbrush every three to four months to k...

With the increased consciousness for nature conservation and healthier life, people are now more inclined towards practicing sustainable ways of living. Amid the Coronavirus pandemic, the world not only adopted a new routine to complete daily life chores but also revived the conventional practices that were long forgotten. A thorough cleaning of home has now become a new normal to avoid risks of getting infected from the contagious viral diseases that are out there. Likewise, people have observed that nature plays a therapeutic role so it needs to be conserved before we lose the resources that are vital for our survival. Why is eco friendly home cleaning important? As a responsible custodian of natural resources, the duty falls on us that we use the resources sustainably so our generations can also get the same privilege of benefitting from the natural resources that we had. Unfortunately, only a fraction of the world's population is concerned about planetary health. If the right steps are not taken now, then our future could be at stake. So, it is important that we inculcate the sense of civic responsibility and that we create an environment where practicing sustainability is not considered a tedious task but rather it is presented in a way that makes it easier to be adopted. If you are an eco-conscious individual looking to clean your home in an eco-friendly way, we can help you by suggesting a few tips that will not only freshen up your home environment but will also pose less burden on the environment. Once you scroll through our recommendations, you might find a few that were once shared by your parents or grandparents. So, let's see what do we have in the pack for you: 7 Tips To Eco Clean Your Home Natural Stain Remover – Lemon You might find lemon well-suited for cooking or that cheeky glass of gin, but besides savoring the dishes, lemon is also a stain remover. Its antiseptic and antibacterial properties make it one of the most effective cleaning agent. By using lemon, you can also get rid of plastic scrubbers that leave non-degradable microfilaments behind. In addition to removing tough stains, the citrus smell of lemons also freshens up the home environment. Truly an eco-friendly and economical way home cleaning. Wooden Brooms with Natural Bristles Using plastic brooms is a common practice. But, most of the people are unaware that the bristles of these brooms are made of synthetic materials such as nylon and polypropylene that are non-degradable. Though they serve the purpose of cleaning but they pose negative impacts for the environment. The bristles production itself is an energy intensive process that results in high levels of greenhouse gas emissions. On the other hand, you can make an eco-friendly cleaning choice by opting for wooden brooms, the bristles of which are made out of coarser fibers of coconut shells. Organic Floor Cleaners Did you know your household cleaners are one of the major causes of release of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs)? These compounds not only contribute to smog, resulting in poor air quality, but also pose serious risks for human health as they make way into the respiratory system. To get rid of the hazardous impacts of toxic additives present in the cleaners, it is important that you switch to natural and organic floor cleaners. With a blend of organic materials having antibacterial properties, they not only disinfect the floor but also leave lingering fragrance. Eco-friendly Dishwashing Sponge The commonly used dishwashing sponges are made up of synthetic fibers that do not degrade completely and make their way to either landfills or waterways. In addition, the sponges often have a musty smell that is caused by bacterial and fungal contamination. So, the use of the same dirty sponge is not only harmful for the environment but also for your health, because you try cleaning your utensils from the same sponge that is the main could be the potential source of contamination. Green al...

While menstruation is a natural and healthy process, conventional feminine hygiene products aren't kind to your body. Besides containing harmful chemicals, standard menstrual products aren't eco-friendly. Fortunately, there are some alternatives to have an eco-friendly period! You don't need to keep using feminine hygiene products that could irritate your skin and pollute the environment. Nowadays, there are many options made from natural, safe, and organic materials that can fit your personal care needs! Want to know the best part? We've selected 5 wonderful eco-friendly feminine hygiene products you can try in the UK. And if you still have your doubts, keep reading to know the benefits of these period products! Are Period Pads and Tampons Eco-friendly? Unfortunately, typical pads and tampons aren't eco-friendly. As these feminine hygiene products are made from a mix of plastic and non-organic cotton, their production and disposal cause several environmental problems. Did you know that the average woman uses roughly 11,000 disposable menstrual products in her lifetime? These sanitary pads and tampons will end up sitting in landfills forever, or what's worse, polluting the oceans and beaches! To give you an example of how big this problem is: In 2010, a UK beach clean found an average of 30 plastic feminine hygiene products per kilometre of British coastline! And that's not all! You should also take into consideration the greenhouse gas emissions from plastic production. Benefits of Eco-friendly Feminine Hygiene Products On the bright side, the solution to this problem is simple. You can replace your standard sanitary pads, liners, and tampons with other eco-friendly feminine hygiene products. Check the benefits of these wonderful menstrual products: They Will Protect You During Your Period If you're worried about how effective these eco-friendly options are, you'll be glad to hear that they're incredibly absorbent! Eco-friendly feminine hygiene products will lock away your menstrual blood and prevent period leaks. They Don't Contribute to Sanitary Pads Contamination One of the problems with regular menstrual products is that they generate too much waste. Think about how many tampons, pads, panty liners, and applicators are discarded worldwide. That's about 200,000 tonnes of plastic waste per year! On the other hand, eco-friendly feminine hygiene products are either biodegradable or reusable. Plus, they come in recyclable packaging. As a result, they're a great option to have a zero waste period! They Won't Irritate Your Skin Most women don't know that their period products might contain toxic chemicals that could cause them health problems, like skin irritation or cancer. That's right. Conventional menstrual products contain traces of dioxins, chlorine, and herbicides like glyphosate. You don't want to expose the most sensitive area of your body to those toxic substances, right? Then, eco-friendly products are the best choice. These products are free from toxins, chlorine, pesticides, dyes, synthetic fibres, and fragrances. So, they're kind to your body! They're Cost-effective Whether you decide to use organic pads, cotton tampons, a menstrual cup, or any other eco-friendly option, you will save money in the long run! Why? Well, cotton is super absorbent, so you would need to use fewer feminine hygiene products. Likewise, reusable options, like a menstrual cup, can replace several disposable period products each month! 5 Eco Feminine Hygiene Products Now that you know all the benefits of using eco-friendly period products, it's time to choose the right one for you. It's no secret that every woman has different needs and preferences, so here are 5 wonderful options you can choose from: Organic Cotton Pads Looking for a plastic-free alternative that looks just like your synthetic sanitary pads? Then, these organic pads come in handy! This eco-friendly feminine hygiene product is made from 100% organic cotton, so they're supe...

On today's episode of “The Building Code,” Zach and Charley are talking to Casey Grey, founder and CEO of The Conscious Builder, a custom home and renovation company in Ontario, Canada. Casey took an early interest in the construction industry starting his career in renovations at the age of 17 before starting his own company at 24. His focus then became building net-zero homes and educating others on the importance of creating healthy living environments.   Listen to the full episode to hear more about what it means to build net-zero homes and how to educate homeowners on the benefits.   The idea of net-zero homes is still fairly new. How does your process work with educating clients on the benefits and choosing the options that work best for them? “We put out so much content to help educate people. It's up to us to give the clients the options so that they can make a decision that's best for them because there are so many factors. There are all sorts of products out there that are better for the environment. But usually, those products are a lot more expensive, too. So, what's most important to that individual, to the person that we're building for? Based on what's important to them, we'll make recommendations for the wall assembly or what products to use and so forth. But at the end of the day, it's not up to us. And we're not building for everybody, but we're using the experience and the knowledge that we have to help teach other people so that they can ask better questions when they go to buy their house. They can go to their builder and ask for specific things. A lot of people who reach out to us have watched a lot of our videos.”   What is your focus when building a net-zero home? “Where we really focus on is really for the house itself and the health, the comfort, the benefits to the homeowner. Because at the end of the day, you still want to build a healthy indoor air quality, like a healthy environment for people living in the house because we spend like 90% of our time inside. Depending on where you live, could be more, could be less. But most of our time is spent indoors. Obviously, we live at home, and now most of us are working at home. So, we really focus on, "Okay, what do we have to do?" By default, when you build a healthy and comfortable home, you build a more efficient home, which in turn helps everything else that people say it's affecting the climate. That's where we're at.”     LINKS AND MORE   Related content: The Conscious Builder resources: Visit The Conscious Builder Academy and use code BT15 to get 15% off any course.

There's more evidence of computer manufacturers taking the environment seriously.   Acer has introduced a new Chromebook in its eco friendly Vero line.   The Chromebook Vero 514 which has been designed to be repaired and recycled - much of it has been built with recycled plastic.   The Vero 514 goes on sale across Europe in November although it will be a couple of hundred pounds more than some of the cheapest Chromebook but with much of it user serviceable and upgradeable - it could end up lasting a good bit longer.     BeReal has now hit 10 million daily active users.   The app is finding fans with people fed up with all the posing and fakery on Instagram - you just post one picture every day of exactly what you can see at a particular moment.   Could this be the cure for our social media overload?   And if you're looking to set up your children with their own Google account but want to control what they access and how long they spend in front of a screen - check out Google's free Family Link app - I'll do more on protecting young people online next week.

While greenwashing is rampant, Anaita is dedicated to testing their product to make sure of the quality and that the mailer breaks down fast. In this episode, Kunle and Anaita talk about Anaita's passion for sustainability in business. You will get to hear about Hero Packaging's beginning, the process of making sustainable mailers, and Anaita's tips on how to become a more sustainable business.

This summer, relax and learn with Do You Really Know! It's time to learn all about the concepts, words and expressions that surround the summer season! What is an eco-friendly beach? For many people, beaches are synonymous with the summer holiday season. Beach holidays have been popular since the second half of the 19th century, and are the archetypal form of mass tourism. With millions of people indulging in such getaways each year, it goes without saying that there's a significant environmental impact. We regularly get riled when seeing pictures of beaches covered in plastic bottles, or turtles choking on straws. Around 10 million tonnes of waste end up in the ocean each year, with tourism hotspots creating 26% more than other cities. Are you saying my new eco-friendly lifestyle isn't compatible with a beach holiday? Wait a minute, should we stop using sunscreen then? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions !

Earlier this week, the CDC revised guidelines on how to navigate the COVID-19 pandemic - in some cases, completely removing or revising them. It's almost time for school to get started in New England's largest city, and Nichole talks with Boston's Public Health Commissioner, Dr. Bisola Ojikutu, about what they expect from the virus in the autumn months. Climate change and other environmental problems are causing many to re-think their habits when it comes to waste and consumption. Good eco-friendly habits aren't easy to develop, though, especially when it feels like you're the only one taking part. Frank Lowenstein, Senior Director of Climate Culture Boston, talks with Nichole about their mission to help people work together to develop those habits, and why Boston is the perfect city for them to get out their message.

When we initially recorded this episode in June of 2021, our host Vidhya Iyer and Jennifer Zeitler - Founder and CEO of  Let's Goat  Buffalo, really connected and promised to visit each other. But little did either one of them know that in a year their paths would cross again - when Vidhya and her family relocate to Buffalo, NY. The two met for the first time this summer, but bonded like old friends. In honor of our new home and friend we decided to re-air this episode - Let's Goat Buffalo.___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Let's Goat Buffalo employs rescued goats to eat unwanted vegetation growth!  Whether it's a residential yard that needs clearing, a commercial property that has become overgrown and high-risk, or a park or highway that has become less accessible to the public, their herds are prepared to help! We chat with the bubbly Jennifer Zeitler - Founder and CEO of  Let's Goat  Buffalo, on how she transitioned from Human Resources to goatscaping. The term "goatscaping" means grazing goats to manage vegetation growth in an environmentally sound manner. Goatscaping greatly reduces the use of toxic herbicides, and because the goat digestive process effectively sterilizes seeds and reproductive plant matter, they are an ideal treatment for invasive plants. Let's Goat Buffalo offers grazing services within suburban, urban and rural environments. By choosing natural treatment, Let's Goat customers are choosing healthier soil, increased biodiversity, and a greener future.  Jennifer Zeitler collaborated with a goat dairy farm Alpine Maid and rescued the goats to bring a sustainable solution to remove overgrown brush and weeds. She was also made a How I Built This, fellow, in 2021 by NPR.

I have the HD ridgid 12" planer. So I guess a better question is how often should I change blades in jointer and planer and maintenance my cheaper tools I use daily. To rid of snip and a seemingly guy crooked planer bed? Broken_pine 2) Hello everybody. First time listener, long time caller. Wanted to hear of any shop items you use that would be more "eco-friendly". An example that comes to mind is instead of using the disposable glue brushes using a silicone one. Thanks, Twin Lake Woodshop   Guy 1) My question is that I have two logs (from the same branch but non-contiguous), and need two nightstands, primarily composed of a 16" w x 14" h x 12" deep mitered box/case. One log is dead straight grain and the other, beginnings of a crotch. Aesthetically, would each of you combine the two logs to make two "truly" matched (well bookmatched) nightstands, or use one log for each nightstand, matching grain WITHIN the individual nightstands, but not BETWEEN the pair? That's confusing even reading it back so please contact me with any questions, For reference the bed these will flank is a California king California king so there is a good deal of distance between them it's not like they'll be on on both sides of a twin. -Tom 2) Hey guys, from time to time I've been asking questions and you've always provided great advice. My question is, I'm tuning up my jointer and I have the tables co-planner within .002” out 18 inches from the cutter head. Is this close enough? Should I invest in a longer straightedge? Currently I'm using a 24” ruler from a good combination square. Looking online for straightedges, the Starrett 36” is $247.50 and it accurate within .0002”. I also found the Veritas 38” aluminum straightedge for $44.90 and is accurate to .003”. How strength of a straightedge do I need? And can I get away with an aluminum straightedge?  Thanks so much for your thoughts. -Mike Gitberg   Huy 1) I am a newbie in woodworking! and I'm working on my indoor stairs to the second floor. Stairs are completely removed and we plan to have an open riser 3 1/2" thick tread. I have somebody who confirmed the structure and adapted it to city codes for me. So nothing dangerous is happening here. I am trying to get the costs down while I like the walnut looks and because of that I am thinking of ripping and altering grain on 2"x12" nominal lumber from the big box store and making 3" x 11½" x 37½' butcher block of yellow southern pine (construction grade, kilin dried) and veneer it with 1/4" walnut. I am buying a 16' 2x12 kiln dried yellow southern pine and will start ripping it after stocking it for a month in my garage. Should I be worried about wood movement?  I mean movement between walnut and SYP. I am not worried about SYP core because I have one of them made two month ago and it's been staying inside with us and cupping/twisting, has not been observed.  Will the 1/4 glued walnut veneer is a good idea for this application in term of resisting wear and tear? I am using regular glue for making the core. any advice on glue for making the core and veneer? Will you approach same method to do this project? If not, What will you do? vafa 2) G'day team It's the old guy (older than Guy) from Australia who potters around in the shed in his thongs ( Aussie footwear Guy ) I recently bought a Dewalt 735 thicknesser because I like to use reclaimed wood but I really don't have a clue what I am doing but you need to start somewhere. Anyway I recently used the thicknesser on a couple of large pine blanks that came from some sort of industrial packaging which were approx 5 inches wide and 3 inches tall ( I used imperial for you guys) I ran both blanks through the thicknesser  " jointing" one side first by using a planer sled and some shims and then running the other side through squaring up the sides to each other and then gluing both pieces together to make a blank for a bandsaw box, everything seemed good at this stage. I started to cut the blank on the bandsaw only to realise that it wasn't square to the table and that I had actually made a square block that was tilted ( I think it's called a parallelogram, I wanted to use a big word so Huy would feel at home) How can I square this up ? The block is approx 5 by 5 inches and my table saw height is 3 inches. I probably did this all backwards but even though I'm old enough to remember dust being invented I still like to learn. Do I need to buy a jointer ? Thanks for your help  (ps, the nurse is cranky with me because I took some other guys slippers and won't take my medication, hope you guys get this while I'm still alive.........still no Sawstop) -Geoff    

Today on the Matt Walsh Show, a vision for an eco-friendly city of the future that resembles a human termite colony. The Powers That Be want us all crammed together, eating bugs, and hopped up on drugs. We'll talk about that today. Also, Joe Biden prepares to declare monkeypox a public health emergency. But is it? Or is it an emergency only for people who engage in certain types of behavior? Plus a shocking poll from 1997 reveals just how far we've fallen with race relations. And in our Daily Cancellation, a reality show is under fire for not featuring enough ugly people. Are ugly people the new marginalized minority and favored victim group? I certainly hope so.    Become a DailyWire+ member today to access my documentary “What Is A Woman”, movies, shows, and more: https://utm.io/ueMfc  — Today's Sponsors:  Epic Will is partnering with the DW to protect our staff and their families.
