Boutique La Fleur Go Green

May 4th, 2010

Online clothing shop boutiquelafleur.com has launched a new Eco-Friendly category.

In today’s lifestyle, we are careful not to eat food that has been subjected to pesticides and toxic chemicals, but what about our clothes? Some of the clothing we wear next to our skin has been treated with chemicals, not only the material (cotton, bamboo etc) but also, the dyes that are used can be toxic.
Clothing produced in China has more toxicity than any other country. There are few regulations in Asian countries which mean that eco-unfriendly items are more likely to come from that region.

The best way to be sure your clothes are chemical free is to check the labels. If the label says ‘organic’ then the crop to produce the material must have been grown organically (without harmful pesticides).

‘Going Green’ does not mean you have to sacrifice fashion. Designer Allison Parris has an Eco-friendly line available at Boutique La Fleur.

Oil Gone Easy S-200 Products Used in Refinery Cleanup

January 20th, 2010

Oil Gone Easy S-200International Environmental Products (IEP) that provides eco-friendly solutions for a clean environment has announced that a major US refinery has chosen Oil Gone Easy S-200 products to cleanup 4 acres of their site. According to them, the intensive performance history of Oil Gone Easy S-200, right from the Prestige oil spill cleanup on the coast of Spain, has lead to its selection.

The task includes cleanup of oil spills, leaks, and a history of hydrocarbon issue throughout one section of the refinery. Approximately 30,000 sq meters of surface oil spills and leaks, including areas around tank farms, under pipelines, near loading racks, and on the shore riprap and dock areas were required to cleanup using Oil Gone Easy S-200.

The usage has proved that the application of this oil remover is an effortless process, wherein the solution needs only to be sprayed on the leaked or spilled hydrocarbon for the indigenous bacteria to degrade the hydrocarbon into carbon dioxide and water. The entire process does not involve any foreign bacteria and the concern of hazardous waste is eliminated. Another advantage of S-200 is that the bioremediation process is unspoilt by rain, wave action, or wind due to the solution’s adhering nature to the hydrocarbons.

Enjoy green parties with your kids

July 28th, 2008

Looking at the hour’s need, it has become important for us to teach our kids a lesson to save our depleting environment. Hence, its better to start teaching our children about several ways to conserve environment so that we can see a safe tomorrow for our own self and future generation.
One such step in this direction will be by using the services of Green parties, Eco friendly toys and Favor bags.

Kids are fond of current and latest movie character’s theme party. In order to keep the child’s interest alive, we can combine it with eco-friendly party themes and use Green party supplies, Eco friendly goodie bags, favor bags and Eco friendly presents.

Such eco friendly parties or Green parties will surely give your child what he or she has been dreaming off in his or her party.

Some of the Green party supplies or Eco-friendly Party supplies include:

Use Eco-friendly Party utensils like plates, spoons, forks, cups and saucers which are made out of sustainable sources. There are many varieties of Green party supplies which include plastic plates, bowls, cups as well as cutlery, which are available in colors, and are made out of 100%, recyclable plastic. Also, you can use bamboo utensils which are easily disposable and these Green party supplies do not add any impurity to the environment.

Next idea for eco friendly parties is to use cotton-made tablecloth. Though they need to be washed but they add elegance to the table. You will get a nice range of Eco-friendly Party table cloths at Little Star Creative Parties which are made out of 100% cotton and are hand made. Also you can try for Eco-friendly Party Supplies or Green party supplies which include tablecloth as well as fabric crayons kit which must be kept by a family man or a party man.

The main workload on the party host is to decorate the venue and it can also be done with Green party supplies like reusable banners and latex balloons which are biodegradable.

These decoration items look great and stunning in a party hall and hence fulfill the theme of Green parties or eco friendly parties.

Also, you can use beeswax candles which are 100% natural and are made out of renewable source. These are not paraffin candles which are a petroleum product, which adds to the pollutants in the environment and make it unhealthy while burning.

When throwing a party, there is a constant requirement of plastic bags which you either require for garbage dump or for packing any item or gifts. Little Star Creative Parties offer something which is easy to use and environment friendly too. It offers Eco friendly goodie bags in which you can pack eco friendly toys, thereby conserving the environment. With this, be sure that these eco friendly toys packed in Eco friendly goodie bags will make your small guests happy and delighted.

These are some of the ideas that can give your party a great theme and also will let your kids and other guests get inspired for saving the environment.

Whatever you are throwing a small gathering or even a large party, don’t forget to use Green party supplies like favor bags, Eco friendly toys, Eco friendly presents and Eco friendly goodie bags to make your Green parties or eco friendly parties a great hit for your friends and their kids.
