Going green is not easy, you have to embrace it with all your heart and adopt it in every sphere of your life. Sure we do our best to conserve energy and preserve the environment like switching off lights when not needed, swapping paper bags with plastic ones, planting trees, etc. Despite this our lifestyle practices can harm the earth immensely. We continue to use several environment damaging products every day.
Foods and personal care products are laced with harmful chemicals. Appliances used add to the energy load. Changing our mundane habits and everyday living actions can make a difference and contribute tremendously to ecological sustenance. Let's take a look at a few ecofriendly products that have hit the market in 2011.

One such range of cosmetics is EcoTools that offers brushes, bath tools, carrier bags for cosmetics, etc. The products are made from materials like recycled aluminum, bamboo, natural loofah, cotton, ramie, recycled plastic netting, etc and are also paraben and phthalate free. The newest addition is a cosmetic bag of natural hemp and cotton blend containing a makeup case and brushes designed by the Hollywood heartthrob Alicia Silverstone.

Earthy love for your babyAlthough cloth diapers are known to be the eco friendly alternative, there is yet another solution for eco conscious moms out there. Ordinary plastic diapers are a big part of non biodegradable waste that is thrown out in trash and pollutes the earth. With gDiapers this risk is eliminated as the inner lining of the can be flushed and becomes a part of the sewage and not trash that pollutes the land. Also, their colored outer cover can be reused several times.

Philips Eco TVLCD Tvs are a visual delight but consume a lot of power. However, Eco Tv from Philips consumes less power than any other HDTV. This is made possible due to a backlight mounted on the TV which dims the light output of the device during dark scenes. This does affect picture quality to some extent but the difference goes mostly unnoticed.
