Green Products

I wanted to put up some of my favorite environmentally friendly products, so I made this little page. As I get to it I’ll add them here. I have no affiliation or the such with these products, I just like them. The prices and links I put are just where I got them and for how much. I would naturally advise you to Froogle search them or whatever makes you happy.

Mini Power Minder
[$14.95 at Amazon]

Many computer peripherals use power even when they are turned off. The Mini Power Minder communicates with your PC via USB so when you start up or shutdown your computer, power to the secondary outlet starts or terminates at the same time. You’ll control all your peripherals in one easy step! To control multiple devices, plug a power strip into the secondary socket and use it as an extension for several devices.

Checkout the user reviews on Amazon for this one, it’s pretty well received. I love mine and would have bought it just for convenience even if it doesn’t pay for itself in saved electricity. There’s no setup with your PC, just a USB cable.

Klean Kanteen
[$17.95 for 27oz at Klean Kanteen]

A stainless steel reusable bottle not only saves on waste, but you don’t have to try and figure out which plastic is leaching BPA and which isn’t.It’s $17.95 for the standard 27oz size, however they have other sizes available.

Reusable, lightweight, and risk free 27oz stainless steel bottle comes with your choice of a sport drinking cap made from safe, non leaching polypropylene plastic (pp#5), a loop cap, or a flat cap. Weighs 8 ounces. Usually ships next business day.

* Durable, ultralight electropolished #304 stainless steel
* Slim design fits most bottle holders
* Toxin-free and non-leaching
* Clean tasting (hot or cold)
* Bottle is dishwasher safe, washing caps in the dishwasher is not recommended.

My only user complaint on this product is that the sports bottle lid can at times be noisy. Otherwise it has been a nice bottle to have.

Lowest Flow Showerhead
[$12.00 at Gaiam]

Ignoring the huge water usage savings for a moment, this showerhead saved my crappy old water pressure shower. I had a miserable weak shower that made me sad, but through what could only be magic this showerhead gives me a very good high pressure shower. Oh yea, and it saves a ton of water at the same time. Magic!

Made in the USA of solid brass with a chrome plate finish. Delivers a vigorous, well-controlled water spray pattern for a truly satisfying shower. This head cuts water use by 50% to 70% and can save a family of four up to 250 gallons a year. Standard 1/2″ pipe thread. 10-year mfg. guarantee.

Note: I bought mine brand new off ebay for $3 plus $4 s/h so it might be worth a quick search.
