Epazote Bug Spray

The website explains how to use the seeds as a natural and powerful insecticide. Read more here.

The Mighty Epazote Dried Herb

We recently read up on something called the Dried Epazote herb. Believe it or not, it is an all natural insecticide.   This herb, in dried form, has a natural chemical makeup that is proved to be toxic–therefore it kills insects and proves to be much safer than standard insecticides.

We found this on http://fairdinkumseeds.com/  who actually sells the seeds so you can grow your own herbs and dry them making it an eco friendly green way to get rid of your conventional poisons which cause harmful chemicals, and make your own.

Modern day insecticides kill the good and bad bugs, and  poison the plants and may be harmful to children and pets. Epazote, when used with instructions given on the website, will let some bugs live!  The good ones, like bees!

However, we find it interesting there is a whole page of natural insecticides here on their site, so you can do your research and find what best fits your needs.

Energy Star Appliance

Energy Star this. Energy Star that.  There’s no doubt that modern appliances are made “more eco friendly” than older ones. Supposedly you save on your electric bill. New refrigerant is used–not the harmful stuff that hurts the ozone when released.  They sure cost a lot. They sure are pretty.   Everyone has heard of  going greener, but when should you decide the best for your old appliance ?

One company in Los Angeles, Active Appliance may have some input.  “We fix broken appliances so there is less disposed appliances in the landfills.. We implement energy saving methods at houses we service.”

Something to think about…scrap metal, or can you use it for a few more years?

wooden hot tubs

Baltresto is an international company who makes all natural hot tubs out of wood. Using nature’s pine and timbers instead of fiberglass or plastic, they reduce landfill waste by 99%.  When I moved into my house I had a ten year old hot tub, even after repairs, the fiberglass beast had to be hauled to the landfill. I am certain even years later nothing has broken that beast down.  These wood hot tubs are eco friendly and their design is modern and lovely.  Make sure to check them out. Sadly they aren’t in the US. They service UK, Findland, Estonia, Italy, anywhere in that region.
