Bring Shampoo and Conditioner


Hotel toiletries usually last for one or two days before they are replaced. If you brought your own shampoo, conditioner, lotion, etc. less containers would end up in landfills and such. It could be easy though to forget to bring your own bottles, so if you do have to use the hotel supplies, don't leave them in the bathroom to be thrown away, you should take them and recycle them.

Jonano



Jonano uses organic materials for their garments. This reduces overall exposure to toxic chemicals from synthetic pesticides. These pesticides used in clothes can end up anywhere from the ground, water, air, and even our foods that can harm our health by causing asthma or even cancer. So not only does Jonano clothes help our one and only Earth, but it also protects the health of people... not to mention how cute their clothes are.

An Energy Saving Search

Blackle.com is the energy saving search engine powered by Google.com. This search engine helps save energy because it doesn't need to power a great white light on your monitor, instead it is a simple black that's also easier on the eyes.


However, Blackle's search results differ from Google's because it's actually linked to a site owned by Heap Media. Although the search results may be different, if people switch to Blackle, they could save over 750 mega watts/hour per year. I would definitely recommend that people change their homepage to Blackle instead of Google. Not only does it look cooler, but it will also help protect our one and only Earth.
