Re: Aquafina’s New Eco-Fina Bottle: Greenwash or Progress?

I agree with the line: "While no disposable plastic product will ever be truly sustainable, we’d be less than honest if we didn’t admit that the new Aquafina bottles are a step in the right direction." Nicely done, Pepsi. However, if people stop demanding disposables altogether, it'll be a bigger landmark.

Re: Potty Tech: Which Is Greener, Toilet Paper Or A Bidet?

This is a wonderful post! I love the puns as well as the subject itself.

In S. Korea, we have a large number of bidet toilets that are really very high tech. They have heated seats, settings for men, and settings for women.

I've often wondered which is best. Now I'm sold on a bidet.

Plus, it makes you feel A LOT cleaner than toilet paper. :)

Very funny April Fools pic and post.

Nicely done.

I do wonder, though, about how to green time spent online. I know that many utility companies are offering ... it must be most people in the States by now ... people the choice to buy renewable energy. Also, I've read about green powered servers...

Re: Greenland Wants To Bottle Iceberg Water

Thank you for this article. One note on accuracy: the source article estimates the water's age to be 1,000 - 3,000 years old. This article on Treehugger says 3,000 - 10,000 years old. I'm just wondering if there are any other sources for this article other than the Copenhagen post where the older dates might have come from.

Hi, Gavin:

I did look at quite a few other sources for the article, as it was quite difficult to find web sites for the companies or entities mentioned. I can't supply and overall authority for the age of the water, however.
