We’ve all heard the environmentalist warnings about how our planet is overcrowded, overexploited and is running out of resources to support us. The weather is changing, the costs of living are rising and everywhere in the media we hear and read about how we should do our part to help the planet. But how do we go about doing that? In most cases, “green” products are more expensive than regular ones, turning our house into a more eco-friendly environment also costs a pretty penny, as does trading our car for hybrids. There are, however, things you can do that don’t cost you anything and that can play a big role in helping our planet stay as green as possible. Recycling your soda or beer cans will save a lot of energy, for instance.
I’ve heard people say that recycling also takes up energy and asking why, in that case, they should do it. The thing is that recycling a can takes up 5% of the energy that would normally get used to produce the aluminum necessary for a brand new can. If you only take those facts into account, you can clearly see how beneficial even a seemingly small thing such as recycling your cans will be for the environment. And while it might seem small, even recycling a single aluminum can, will save up enough energy to operate a TV for 3 hours. Now add that up with the fact that about 35 billion cans are used only in the US over the course of a year and you will see how much energy can be saved with can recycling.
Of course, it can be something of a drag. I mean, you have to collect all these cans and then take them over to the nearest recycling bin while they dangle happily with your every movement for everyone’s entertainment and your embarrassment. Not to mention the space they take up. But that also has a very simple and handy solution in the can crusher. A simple can crusher CAN solve many of your problems. The can crusher will help you reduce the size of cans dramatically, therefore preventing them from taking up a lot of room, and of course, from being uncomfortable to carry around. Not to mention the fact that a mechanical can crusher won’t use up any electricity, all it takes is one pull of a lever for the can to be crushed. Not to mention the fact that many have noted that the can crushing process has helped them relieve a lot of frustration.
When you take everything into account, the answer is simple: get a can crusher and start doing your part for the planet by recycling your cans.

Unbelievable as it may sound, the dust in your vacuum bin can make for a great compost ingredient. If you think about it, the composition of dust mostly particles of dead skin, lint, and various other small pieces of organic materials, aside from a few non organic ones, for good measure. You can either get paper bags for your vacuum cleaner, which you can compost as well, or buy a vacuum cleaner which uses a bin instead of bags and just empty the bin into the compost pile.
The Eco-Pen is made out of corn starch plastic that is 100% biodegradable, meaning you can throw this bad boy away and it wll break down in about a year, not including the plastic refill. Now, this begs to question, is a biodegradable pen that costs $2 preferable to the old fashioned Bics that run about 9¢ a piece?
With the rising population, the one resource the world desperately needs is plenty of water. There is a high demand for residential water which is used for cooking, cleaning and irrigation purposes. Besides household purposes, gallons of water are required in industries. Water conservation is the need of the hour. Fortunately for humankind, rain water is one of the consistently available natural resource. Every year, there is abundant supply of rain water, which if harvested can meet many of our needs.
for drinking, especially when other water supplies are expensive, unavailable, or of poor quality.
