Welcome to ecoVillage.com, our mission is simple: help the online community take another step forward in helping this planet start flourishing again. The site is now officially in beta launch and we need you to help us. How can you use this site to help the planet?
1. Spread the word - We need lots of users to make this site work. Contact everyone in your facebook, myspace, linked in and address book and get them to signup. That is the first step.
2. Contribute - This site is going to be populated with information from you, the community. Without you contributing from time to time, it wont work. Hear about something in the news? Get it on this site. Hear about a new product? Post it to our site. Have a good idea for an easy every-day eco-tip? Post it here!
3. Learn - There is so much we can all learn. Get on the site at least once a week and learn about News and Products in the eco space. Education is key to get people living an eco-friendly lifestyle.
4. Socialize - Connect with new friends, connect with old friends, create activities, discussions or just chat! Use the site, that is all we ask!
We started this company as we started our own search online to see what we can do to help the cause. We were constantly looking for one resource to educate our families on what we can do. We will do everything we can to make this site as friendly as possible. We would love to hear from you as to what will make it better.
If you have any questions or comments, please email us: info@ecovillage.com
Small as they are, tossed toothbrushes certainly do create a lot of waste. Indeed, some 50 million pounds of them are tossed into America’s landfills each year. If we followed our dentist’s recommendations and replaced our toothbrushes every three months, we'd be throwing even more of them away. Fortunately there are some greener-friendly alternatives, most available at natural food retailers or, if not, online at the companies’ websites.
