A friend had told me about ScKoon’s Organic Cotton Cloth Menstrual/Postpartum Pads. Unlike all the disposable pads on the pharmacy shelves which contain dioxin and other bleaching residues, these Sckoon Organic Cotton Cloth Menstrual/Postpartum Pads are chemical free, naturally dyed and made of 100% certified Egyptian organic cotton. What is great is it is breathable, contains no irritant and cost saving!

So why choose Organic Cotton Cloth Menstrual/Postpartum Pads?
It is reported that many chemicals including dioxin are found in almost every brand of menstrual pads and tampons. Dioxin is a known carcinogen and has been linked to cervical cancer, breast cancer, endometriosis, and immune system suppression. In addition, the plastic and glue backing on disposable pads reduces air circulation and creates a stagnant environment in which some bacteria thrive. This can cause vaginal irritation and yeast infection.

Do you know that pesticides contained in disposable pads and tampons have been linked to birth defects, infertility, breast cancer, sterility, and respiratory problems?

ScKoon’s Organic Cotton Cloth Menstrual/Postpartum Pads feel like just another layer of super soft underwear, leaving you free to forget all about adhesives ruining your good lingerie or sticking to you and your clothing.

The convenience of electronic documents and files transfer via email has played a big part in environmental efforts in green living. As we celebrate Earth’s Day this month, may we learn to cut down the use of paper and do our part in living green in our home and work place. Instead of printing sets of documents for every person in the office, you can save them in usb flash drive or send them via email to the recipients. Reading documents electronically is simple and helps to reduce waste and prevent the clogging of recycled stations.

When it comes to home decorations and furnishings, we tend to be select items that fit into the theme of our homes. As eco consciousness becomes the talk on the streets and news media, people are seeking ways to stay green and be eco-friendly to our earth. So if you can afford, why not look into 100% organic cotton napkins or homeware made of recycled materials?

One cool place to find eco-friendly home items is BTC Elements, who also stocks women’s apparel, accessories and a wide array of gift items. Do you know that these attractive and colourful handy baskets are made from used potato chip wrappers picked up from the streets of Nepal. The bags are cleaned and wrapped around dried grasses and woven into a functional and beautiful basket. The colorful bowl is created from the outside of the potato chip bag while the elegant silver color is created using the inner lining of the potato chip bag. Each bowl will vary slightly due to the handmade nature of the craft. The story of the bowl is included on a tag.

The proceeds that are generated by producing these handicrafts go back into the community to finance humanitarian aid projects that include primary health care, medical, and educational projects.
