Happy Earth Day! To commemorate the day, I thought I would give out a few recommendations of some of my favourite natural, earth-friendly products. (Some are geared more toward women.)

Method. I first heard about them a few years or so ago. At the moment I use their all-purpose cleaner (cucumber-scented), their foamy hand soap, and their “bloq” body wash; and there are some other products of theirs I’d love to try (like the omop).

Seventh Generation. Their product line is vast, including (but not limited to) paper products, cleaning products, laundry products, and feminine care products. I use their feminine products (maxi pads and pantyliners); and they’re the best ones I’ve ever used. They’re made from natural cotton (yay!), with the adhesive made from gum rubber, and they’re completely biodegradable.

The Keeper. I’ve been using one for five years now; and I love it. It’s a lot healthier to use than mainstream tampons (TSS, anyone?) and although it seems pricey, it will pay for itself with all the money you’ll save from not buying tampons, not to mention they will last up to ten years. Order online, or find one at your local health food store.

Virtually all these aforelisted items may be purchased online. Some may also be purchased locally, wherever you are. Be sure to check for availability.

And here’s a yummy, informative post by Manda (with help from The Daily Green) on what recycling symbols mean.

endeffect has a new layout…and some new wallpapers! (Plus, many wallpapers from the back catalogue have been rereleased in widescreen. Squee!) Go have a looksee. *nods*
