Ways to Make Your Life Greener in 2009

President Obama preaches "Change" in 2009 and we here at MN think it's a wonderful idea. Change always starts with yourself, so we've gathered a small list of greener alternatives to improve your eco-friendly living and to start doing your part.

Bedrock Industries [100% Recycled]
Headquartered in Seattle, this recycled glass tile company makes a profit off every cork you pop. Using donated wine and beer bottles, Bedrock brings new purpose and beauty
to this typically discarded glass. All tiles are custom made for each order and perfect for that swanky kitchen redesign or bathroom update, and shipped in cardboard boxes they find on the street!
Other alternatives: Oceanside Glass [86% Recycled]

EcoSmart Fireplaces
These 100% clean-burning, versatile fireplaces are a great way to think green while staying warm. Much like the need for wood in typical fireplaces, EcoSmart's run off of Denatured Ethanol which is fairly inexpensive and found at any hardware store. And since these are 100% clean burning there is never any clean up and no flue is necessary seeing that the only byproduct of combustion is water, steam and carbon dioxide.
