Have a Green New Year!

More info here: http://www.ecobold.com/blogs/107-green-new-year

How to green your New Year? In 2011 you'll see how easy it is to go green, here I give you three basic tips and every one of them is fairly easy to implement. Some are more expensive than others, but all tips are for all budgets!

The first tip is to start shopping at your local farmers' market, it's not only much healthier for you but also your food has traveled only a few miles to get to you rather than thousands of miles coming from the other side of the planet. Also, when your fruits and veggies have to travel that much, they are harvested unripe, which means that most nutrients haven't even formed yet, quite different from your farmers' market fruits and veggies that are usually harvested the day before and are full of nutrients that we need.

The second tip is to get a reusable water bottle, reusable shopping bag and reusable coffee mug. Most coffee shops will give you a .10 to .25 cents discount when you bring your own reusable mug, which can add up to several dollars throughout the year. Your own reusable bag because you can take hundreds of plastic bags from going to landfills, it's also becoming a trend for cities to forbid plastic bags (such as San Francisco), plus some places are starting to charge for plastic bags!

The third tip is to spend some money on yourself this year. Try to get at least one thing that's significant enough that can make a big impact in your body. For example it could be an organic mattress that doesn't release any VOC's or a wool carpet that is completely natural and has no toxic materials going into the air you breathe (plus it's a natural fire retardant!) or it could be a completely new set of non-toxic pots and pans such as Ceramcor's which can cost anywhere from $300 to $500.

I hope you all enjoyed these ideas, have a safe and green New Year and don't forget to subscribe for our newsletter, we've a bunch of things coming up for the new year and hope to have you along the ride!More info here: http://www.ecobold.com/blogs/107-green-new-year How to green your... more

Who Am I?

More info and links here: http://www.ecobold.com/compost-bag-by-biobag/
BioBag makes several types of compostable bags. From biodegradable trash bags to compost bags, to dog bags and even a small kitchen compost bin that I love and use for my fruits and veggies scraps.

Their prices are relatively affordable, the dog bags for example, are selling for about $4.99 for a box of 50, which means you're paying .10 cents per bag. If you can, why not?

And if you can compost, why wouldn't you? Their small composting bin for the kitchen is very convenient, you can use it if you live in an apartment or even in a house and just need a place to put your fruits and veggies scraps (remember, never cooked food or meat/fish or bread). It easily becomes a free fertilizer that you can give away, use in your garden, plants, or just in the grass, it helps get your soil much stronger and healthier.

Some cool facts about the BioBag are, according to their website:
BioBag is proud to be the best selling brand of 100% biodegradable and certified compostable bags made from the material, Mater-Bi. We are also proud to be the first “bag from corn” to achieve national distribution of retail products through natural food stores across the country. The city of San Francisco selected BioBag to promote their residential food waste collection program. The city is sending 100,000 rolls of BioBags to residents within the county to help educate consumers on the importance of diverting food and other biodegradable waste from entering landfills. San Francisco residents can now purchase additional supplies at over 100 outlets in the bay area. BioBag is proud to be a partner in this important effort

The tall kitchen bags are strong and it has star sealed bottom for extra strength. BioBag also has lawn and leaf bags, shopping bags, and even a portable toilet bag, quite interesting. They say that the BioToi toilet and the Nature Bio-Bag waste bags works great for camping, boating, hiking, hunting, RV's and other related outdoor activities. Also, each waste bag is properly certified to decompose to a humus state within 40 days when placed in a controlled compost environment.

I also talk a little bit about me: who is Steffany founder of EcoBold? I was born and raised in a small ranch in Brazil and there were some things I didn't particularly like about the ranch! I always dreamed of having a door bell, a house number and a paved road (because we would have to get my moms car unstuck from the mud quite often). We had our own chickens, who had amazingly tasteful eggs, we ran around in the rain, played with animals, saw baby horses being born…. and of course we also got to see the destruction of our beautiful area by "people from the city" who were cutting all the trees around us and building big house complexes. Not to mention the pollution, and trash that started to increase. Today my goal is to make every green product available to everyone, I want them to be the norm, not the exception.More info and links here: http://www.ecobold.com/compost-bag-by-biobag/ BioBag makes... more

The World's First Affordable Electric Car

In these times of conservation and preserving our natural resources, every company is out to try and find their niche in this ever-growing market. From household cleaners to organic produce, everywhere you turn now you can find something that is either better for the environment or healthier for you as a general rule. Nowhere has this become more apparent than in the car industry where it seems very company has come up with their own concept car, hoping to gain a foothold into this growing industry. One company will soon be releasing what is termed to be the world's first affordable electric car and that is the Nissan Leaf. Let us take a look at the Leaf and what it brings to the table to entice consumers to get on board.

As mentioned above, the Nissan Leaf is the first affordable electric car on the market but it will also have the double bonus of zero emissions. Gone will be the days of having to have your car emissions tested before you can register it again will your Motor Vehicle branch. It will also be the first to be mass-produced by a car manufacturer, which is a big step when you consider they feel the technology is both stable as well as saleable enough for a large rollout. The Leaf that will be produced will not be one of those tiny box vehicles that you and your buddy could ride in but a family of four would have no use for. No, this Leaf is being manufactured to be able to fix a group of five inside of it, a vast improvement that the consumer would be sure to take note of.

Surely one of the first things you’re thinking when you look at it is "What makes it run". Well as you might expect from an electric car, it runs on batteries, but not your normal everyday Diehard. The Leaf is powered by compact lithium-ion batteries, which give it the capacity to produce up to 90 kilowatts of power while its electric motor will be able to provide 80 kilowatts of power. What does that mean for the layperson in terms of how far can they go or how long it takes to charge up the vehicle? Well the Leaf has improved on some numbers from other models that have come out in the same class. Its range on a full charge comes in at around 100 miles which would be find for a driver with a typical commute to and from work. If you use the quick charger for the Leaf you can get these batteries fully charged in a time span of around 30 to 40 minutes. If your going to be using a normal charger from your typical 200 volt home outlet then your looking at more of the overnight routine which will take eight hours to reach full charge capacity. Either way, impressive numbers to consider.
