Best to give a link ot two to composting toilet articles in this sort of piece though.  Stop the sludge!

Instead, I stopped buying a separate toilet bowl cleaner all together.  I use whatever all-purpose cleaner I'm using on the rest of the bathroom (usually biokleen all-purpose or my own recipe) on the tank and seat, and either borax or baking soda in the bowl.  Vinegar works better on hard-water stains than any bowl cleaner, and it can work with either borax or baking soda on tough stains.  I add essential oils to all of my home made cleaners to add fragrance and germ-killing power.  My essential oils of choice tend to be eucalyptus, tea tree, cinnamon, or lavender, depending on the job and my mood.

I currently use the Seventh Generation product, although I'm thinking of trying Nature Clean's toilet bowl cleaner next.

I usually use vinegar & baking soda, but will occasionally buy one of the above when I have a coupon because it's easier for the kids to use.

I've had allergic reactions to some natural cleaners.

Hey, I heard about a new jewelry company that is launched and have a lot less expensiveness prices then Green Karat. You can check their website http://www.GreenORO.com and find lot of green jewelry pieces that are alike green karat but at very competitive rates. They specialize in green wedding bands and non-conflict diamond rings. The company is as green, environmentally and socially conscious, as a jeweler can be and unique thing is that they are offering three very exciting features which no one is offering right now.

1-        Green Box Program
2-        One Tree & One Ring a Time
3-        Make Your Own ORO Ring
4-        ORO Certificate of Authenticity [ Each ring you buy from http://www.GreenOro.com carries a Unique Tag Number ]

The head of the company is Shimon Farkas and you can see how extensive her background is in all things green at her current website. http://www.GreenOro.com, He & his family is in jewelry business for three generations and featured on the ABC Morning News and New York Fashion Show. Shimon Farkas is the prime manufacturer of green jewelry all in house and nothing is outsourced to any third party that gives him leverage to cut down his cost and share it with the customers and also with assurance he is offering ORO Certificate of Authenticity with each ring.

The aim is to make the pieces extremely affordable AND eco-friendly. Should be a really innovative website too, you can also ask for any Custom Design and that can be made within a matter of few weeks.

Does not fit into the consumer culture model, but that model is at the heart of most of the climate change conditions we have helped create. It may seem odd to focus on these "green" products for non-use, as opposed to fast foods or infomercial "opportunities" or the cupholder Olympics, but if those who are conscious of the conditions at the root of the dangers only shift their buying habits to new, improved, better objects then the habit remains. See for yourself--search inside the book (see above) at Amazon.

I understand and appreciate the value of Grist comparing the various market offerings. I appreciate various entrepreneurs coming out with more responsible products. What concerns me is the "need" we have for choice among so many options. Go to the supermarket and buy mustard or dry cereal or salad dressing. Stand back and watch fellow consumers hypnotized by the primary colors. How come supermarket shelves don't sport cupholders for customers' convenience as they stand mesmerized by marketing? End of rant.
