BCause I Told You So
Eco-parents unimpressed by 'green' Barbie accessories |
|
12 May 2008 |
News |
| Posted at 1:09 PM on 12 May 2008 Barbie BCause, toymaker Mattel's attempt to appeal to the green-minded tyke, has turned out to be not so popular with green-minded parents. The line of patchwork-y Barbie accessories made from cast-off fabric has inspired a blogging backlash. "The eco-conscious young girls I know of steer clear of Barbie," wrote Jennifer Lance on blog Eco Child's Play. "Truly green families ... |

Word of Bronner
Dr. Bronner's says competitors aren't really organic |

29 Apr 2008 |
News |
| Posted at 4:53 PM on 29 Apr 2008 Dr. Bronner's Magic Soaps has filed a lawsuit accusing competitors in the personal-care industry of falsely advertising products as organic. The word "organic" is not federally regulated for personal-care products. Dr. Bronner's, the soap company known for its basic ingredients and rambling messages, voluntarily follows the USDA organic standard for food, which requires 95 percent org ... |

| LED Light Bulbs Compact fluorescent light bulbs are so 2007. While CFLs are three to four times more energy-efficient than moldy old incandescents, LED light bulbs are more than twice as energy-efficient as CFLs -- and they can last three times longer. Plus, unlike compact fluorescents, LEDs don't contain toxic mercury. LED bulbs, which are made up of a number of single light-emitting diodes, come in a variety of si ... |

| Smart Strip Household gadgets often suck up electricity even when turned off. To stop these "vampires," you can plug your gizmos into a power strip that is easily turned off with the flip of a switch. The $40 Smart Strip takes this idea one step further with a feature geared toward computer and home-entertainment systems: when the device plugged into its "control" outlet is turned off (say, a TV), ... |

| Solio Charger The Solio Classic taps the power of the sun to charge portable electronic devices like iPods and cell phones. Three small solar panels fan out to absorb as much sunlight as possible, then fold up when you're done. One hour of sunshine will give you about 40 minutes of music or 15 minutes of talk time. The classic model sells for $100 in silver, black, white, or bright pink. 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 Next |

| Philips Eco TV Sipping only 75 watts of power during normal use, and just 0.15 watts in standby mode, the Philips Eco TV uses less energy than a typical incandescent light bulb. In contrast, an old cathode-ray-tube TV consumes about 100 watts, while similar-sized plasma-screen TVs can guzzle anywhere from 200 to 500 watts. The Eco TV sports a 42-inch, flat-panel LCD screen, which -- aside from making gadgetophiles dr ... |
