Goodbye Proprietary
Living clean and green is not an easy prospect...
Buy this, don't buy that. This is toxic; that's safe. Oops, that takes too much energy.
I'm reading a book called Cradle to Cradle: Remaking the Way We Make Things, by a chemist and an architect. They forge a vision for a world where we can safely buy and live, without worrying ourselves practically to death.
So...
...this is a blog where we can dream out loud about that world...where we can tell industry and government, "This is what I I'd love to have." And where we can share our own inventive ideas that are free for the taking— forgetting about guarding every great thought as "proprietary."
It is also a place where we can pass on information to each other, to say, "Hey, I found this product, this way of life, etc... why don't you try it on for size?"
So...
...stay tuned for our first inventive idea, compliments my nine-year-old daughter Sara... all about energy that could come from fitness centers.

We've started using products from Ecover. So far we have used the washing up liquid & clothes softener. Many years ago these 'green' products were not very good at cleaning, but they have improved a lot. The ones weve used so far we have been very pleased with :)
Haddock... great! I like BioKleen for the laundry... somehow the smell of grapefruit seed cheers me.
And a novel thought... who really needs clothes softener? Awhile back I stopped using it, and the sky didn't fall... though my grocery bill did! :)
