At weekends, I sleep underneath a wool comforter which I consider one of the most ignored but most comfortable types of comforter to sleep under. From my perspective they are a bargain. Wool by definition allows moisture to wick away making it hypoallergenic and resistant to dust mites and other allergens. This makes it a healthy textile and one which all allergy sufferers should consider. The common misconception is that wool is heavy which is far from the truth. High grade wool filler can be even lighter than down and I have constantly surprised visitors to my summer home by demonstrating that in person to them. I sleep underneath a Euphoria organic wool comforter which I have scattered around my summer house. Most people will prefer the classic weight for all year warmth, but I prefer the lighter summer weight and just switch to something a little heavier for 3 to 4 months of the year.

I was thinking about how to save on my elecric bill and then a light went off when I remembered seeing the light switch motion sensors on GreenandMore.com. After I installed them these inventive, eco-minded, and fiscally responsible gadgets have helped decrease the cost of our electric bill by nearly half.. Now, whenever I leave a room, if I should somehow forget to turn off the light, the light switch motion sensors recognizes the absence of movement in the room, shutting off the lights. They save money and the environment which is a perfect combination for responsible living.

If you are still trying to find new individual ways to benefit the environment, I suggest a good night’s sleep. Literally. The Obus Forme soy memory foam pillow, made from soy extracts and other materials harmless to the environment, is a simple and safe alternative to similar petroleum and chemical based memory foam pillows. The temperature sensitive material conforms to your head and neck, allowing for a wonderful night’s sleep, without the ill-effects of off-gassing or other harmful hazards. These soy memory foam pillows are designed to minimize our impact on the environment, and relieve pressure points in your head, neck and shoulders. These eco-conscious delights also offer a variety styles to meet your individual tastes including traditional style, contoured, for a more natural spinal alignment, and travel size for portable comfort wherever you go. Sleep soundly knowing you have benefited your health and the environment.

Much like lamps or wall hangings, eco end tables are just that when it comes to decorating your living room, thought of at the end. At GreenandMore.com, there is a wide range of solid and stylish pieces to excite any burgeoning homeowner or fledgling interior decorator. Spanning the spectrum from sustainably harvested wood to recycled urban street signs, the entire selection of eco furniture and end tables is sure to excite the senses and the green side of subconscious. Each is truly quite wonderful and providing a unique decorating theme.

When decorating a home, it is often the large pieces that are given the most thought. The simple decorative effects, such as lamps, wall hangings or vases become an afterthought. Once you’ve seen the uniquely stylish, and eco friendly vases offered through GreenandMore.com, these afterthoughts will be brought to the forefront of your mind. Each handcrafted piece will make choosing that “afterthought” a very personal choice. There is a nice selection of eco friendly vases between $20 and $30. Worth taking a look.

The last time your bathroom had a makeover, was Ronald Reagan still president? If so, perhaps it is time to think about changing the look and atmosphere of one of the most utilized rooms in the home. Consider incorporating some of the line of spa teak bathroom accessories made from sustainably harvested teak found on GreenandMore.com. My favorite, the teak bath mat, is a perfect piece to use as both a stylish nonskid surface in your bath or shower and “cover” for that worn out shower base. No less eclectically unique is the teak spa ladder with removable shelf that can be used as a stylish centerpiece for towels and toiletries or as an aid in the shower. Clean up the look of your bathroom with this multitude of choices from GreenandMore.

One of the best looking and moderately priced items to our GreenandMore.com web site is a series of green eco friendly lamps made out of cocoa leaves and bamboo. They are really most unusual and come in a variety of styles and colors at prices which are surprisingly affordable. Put one of these lamps in your house and you have quite the conversation piece. They are hard to describe but take a look at the collection- they are quite remarkable.

Something many of us take for granted is a really good absorbent and soft bath towel; this is true until we find ourselves with one not of good quality. Towels without good absorbency or that have that stiff, rough texture can make that potentially luxurious bath experience end in annoying disappointment.

With our new organic towels the possibility of a bad experience becomes nearly non-existent. Made from certified organic cotton, these towels have a higher absorbency, richer, more luxuriant feel, and are designed to last longer than most ordinary bath towels. As an added bonus, because they are devoid of pesticides, chemicals and other harmful toxins, you know your body isn’t the only thing clean and refreshed.

I have both BlueAir 402 and BlueAir 501 air purifier models running in my home as part of my maintenance program to keep my allergies at bay. I do not have a need to control odors or VOCs, but with two cats in the house and all the usual allergens coming in from outside, some purified air is a requisite for my health. On the other hand, I have a husband who hates noisy appliances and who has objected to just about any appliance I leave running in our bedroom at night. So we can agree on a BlueAir because it is quiet and I also am comforted that our testing has shown them to be very effective, so I am not compromising my health. I also have to admit that the ease with which I can change filters is a huge plus in my book, because I am mechanically challenged and I loath air purifiers which make me get out a screw driver. With Blueair air purifiers I can change the filters myself and do not have to put changing filters on the “Honey Do” list. I have been using Blueair air purifiers for 8 years and the original models are going strong. I also gave a BlueAir air purifier to my brother in law who before the gift had been a martyr to seasonal allergies. Each year my sister writes to tell me what a difference that air purifier makes in my brother in law’s life- which makes her life more pleasant too. She looks on their BlueAir 501 as nothing short of a miracle!

After a day at the beach, out on the golf course, or just raking leaves, nothing quenches a thirst like a cold, clear glass of water. Like many people, I have a faucet water filter ensuring clean water. It’s the cold side of that first statement I am sometimes missing. Using a water filter pitcher would solve that problem, but most are more expensive and less efficient than the average sink unit.

In comes the Ecor water filter pitcher. Less expensive than most, it is also made with four stages of filtration, nearly rivaling many sink connected units. These features, with its convenience of fitting handily into a refrigerator, make it ideal for any sized apartment or dormitory room. And, because you are only refilling the pitcher, you save the planet from needless landfill waste of plastic water bottles.
