phoenix air duct cleaning: Ensure A Sense Of Well Being Beyond The Clean ~ Create A Luxurious Green Cleaning Kit ~ To Give Or To Keep ~ - 03/20/09 06:29 AM

Creating a luxurious green cleaning kit is an exquisite change from conventional products where the only sense of well being comes from, well, having a clean environment.  Or so one thinks...  Generally, household cleaning with chemicals is quite an oxymoron. Think about it, cleaning while leaving chemical toxins behind, cleaning while obnoxious odors linger, cleaning while leaving build up and residue from the hardy strata of waxes, cleansers and gel like formulas.  You may or may not see them with the naked eye, but they are there - as part of their working methodology is to create a chemical barrier.

phoenix air duct cleaning: "Better To Light A Candle Than Curse The Darkness" ~ Ghandi - 03/14/09 06:51 PM
I just visited the "Build It Green" expo in Phoenix today as an esteemed friend and associate had a booth at the venue. He has an eco-repsonsible home improvement store with an architectural division attached to it. He also offers LEED certification classes among others for professionals and non-professional alike in various best practices. While speaking with him, he mentioned sadly how much greenwashing was going on with many of the exhibitors.  His was a tone that was lamentable but not bitter.
I noted this ruefully as lately I have read so many blogs and comments on this site that are scathing about green businesses and the Green … (8 comments)

phoenix air duct cleaning: L'Amour ~ L'Amour ~ Why Couldn't We Just Keep Our Chemical Romance Alive - 03/09/09 09:47 AM

Scarlet and Rhett, Anthony and Cleopatra, Henry and Anne of a Thousand Days, Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher, are all diminutive in stature next to the greatest chemical romance in history ~ DDT and Montrose. Yes, I too was surprised at the lack of name recognition from the second half of the famous couple.  However, for name dropping sake, Du Pont once was romantically linked with Miss D, but ditched her, for shall we say, a more financially secure partner.  She came through for CIBA and a few others, but a less flashy sort, in, of all places, Southern California, was the … (6 comments)

phoenix air duct cleaning: Green Beatitudes ~ What I Would Say If I Were Speaking Last - 02/28/09 08:53 AM
 
A few days ago a friend of mine was preparing a speech for an Interior Design industry function and asked me what I would say if I were speaking about being green.   There were other speakers before her, architects and builders and she would be the last to speak.  I put myself in that position and can only imagine how the audience at that point would be exhausted with data, tired of fear inducing talk about chemicals, bored with the same rhetoric in general. So I told her I would just say the following: 
Be Grateful ~ when you are in a … (14 comments)

phoenix air duct cleaning: Who Knew There Was So Much To Say About Dust ~ Major Culprit for Feline Thyroid Disorder ~ Four Winds Healthy Home Carpet and Air Duct Cleaning - 10/18/08 01:05 PM
Who knew dust was so complicated. 
And why should it be different on that account, than any other constant in our lives. So what exactly is dust and how does it affect us?  Does it matter where it lands?  Evidently so.  The evidence stacks up the claim that the dust that settles on your television is far more dangerous than the dust on the coffee table in the same room. 
Apparently dust in outer space is considered far more primitive than dust here on earth.  "Who cares" we mutter as we dust on.  But in these matters, content is king. According to William Bray on … (6 comments)

phoenix air duct cleaning: True Confessions of an Eco-Entrepreneur - Green Search Engines with Meaningful Benefits - Four Winds Healthy Home Carpet and Air Duct Cleaning - 05/11/08 03:44 AM
Green Search Engines -  There are many green search engines.  The Green Maven, is one of my favorites.  However, the portals listed below are proactive by bestowing the proceeds from their sites to global ecological causes. These green search engines allocate site proceeds to reforestation, land conservation and offsetting greenhouse gas emissions.  So all you have to do is search for free on any of these sites and know that you are doing something positive and long lasting for the planetary cause at the same time.
Ecocho.com  -  a green search engine wrapper from Australia that presently uses Yahoo search. You have the option of a black wrapper … (0 comments)

phoenix air duct cleaning: True Confessions of an Eco-Entrepreneur - The High Margin of Deceit - Four Winds Healthy Home Carpet and Air Duct Cleaning - 05/09/08 06:12 AM
The Green Shame.  A study by Terra Choice, conducted in 2007, was featured on the GreenBiz.com website made the following claim - .05% or 1 in 1753 green marketing claims were true, the rest were found to be false or misleading.
What does this mean for the well intentioned consumer, the companies that are involved in this high margin of deceit, and the companies who are telling the truth? In a nutshell, since that study was published,  more watchdog agencies, conventional and eco-responsible, have been keeping their eyes open and their attorneys busy in 2008.  Not bad for just the fifth month of the year.
