This morning when I decided to type in the words –“eco + blue” into my browser’s search bar, I had a different expectation/intention for what would turn up and honestly urinals were not amongst them.
But that’s the great thing about the unexpected isn’t it? It leaves room for wonderful surprises and ‘amusing’ pieces of writings. Well whether or not this one counts as amusing is left to you to decide but one thing I do know is that it is informative so bear with me.

These days, everything is expensive. Even the simplest of household problems can cost you a small fortune...well I blame commercialism but who can really say? And therein lays the beauty of sustainable living where the same kindness and respect we show for the environment will be in turn shown to our wallets. Bottom line is because loving the environment means we should reduce waste, green lovers tend to exercise their brains a bit more to figure out ways to be resourceful.

What I want to share with you here today isn’t really so much ...

The children are our future. And if nature is ever going to stand a chance at survival it will be up to us to ensure that the next generation is all for sustainable living. People often ask how and where we should begin to teach children to appreciate nature and be sensitive towards her in their every action.  Some sternly say it’s through education and I agree but education can be both in and out of the classroom. I say ...

I’m happily away from home right now. I’m back at my parents for a short break and I’m enjoying every minute of it. Only problem is, my husband isn’t.  He isn’t here with me, he’s back home and it’s become quite obvious he hates being at home alone...So he’s cut me a deal, if I cut my trip short by 2 days he’ll have a surprise waiting for me at home!

Well it does sound more like bribery but I’m not complaining. In fact I have an elaborate ...

Continuing from yesterday, here are the other 6 items you can green from your kitchen:

5. Coffee Grounds
Coffee is safely assumed to be a must in any normal household (it’s a generalisation, not implying that you aren’t normal if you don’t have any at home) and that generates pounds of waste grounds each month. So instead of letting it all go to the landfill, why not use it in your garden. Coffee grounds make great fertilizers and are excellent for rose bushes.

Reduce, reuse and recycle. Those are the simple and golden rules of green living. Yet when people think of saving the environment, it has to be through huge acts such as volunteering to clean up wildlife after oil spills. But fact of the matter is, oil spills don’t happen every day (thank goodness!) and they aren’t exactly the main contributors of pollution or deterioration of nature either. The real problem lies with our daily lives and how we are insensitive towards the knowledge ...

Honestly I used to think it was just about using everything natural – you know all without added chemicals etc but instead turning to herbs, plants, flowers (basically all things botanical) for the solution. But one thing got me thinking, if Holistic ...

If you are as good as I am at ironing then you know you just hate this chore. It’s not that I’m not connected with my inner domesticated side, it’s just that I’m really bad at it. I takes me between 15-30 minutes to iron out a shirt and let me confess that even then it will not be a perfect press.

Under normal circumstances I’d tell myself so what if you can’t iron well and it’s okay to be lousy at it but thinking it through that’s not exactly true. Gone are the days when we used coal, gas ...

Next to laundry dish washing has got to be the most common boring yet needful chore of the house. But regardless of whether you choose to use a machine to do the dirty work or your own hands, the use of dishwashing liquid/detergent is still a basic requirement. And if you knew well enough, you’d know that being concerned over the cleaning agent is more important than deciding on the method (hand or machine).

Why? Simply because the effects from it are more pronounced and immediate. You will notice the effect on 2 areas namely:
