First, I am very impressed with Guayaquil. This is one of the cleanest cities, i have been in south america. not only that, this is the only city who has 3 trash cans out, 1 for trash, 1 for plastic and one for organics. Very amazing. The river is dirty and of course trashy, the suburbs are filled with trash, but downtown is clean.

Due some last minutes adjustments, <i stayed at the hotel continetal. www.hotelcontinental.com.ec  they use cfls lightbulbs, have signs posted to save energy and water. very impressed. have never seen that in any hotel south of usa. now i am experiencing my first couchsurfing adventure. the family is wonderful and very embracing, but as much as it has been a great thing, and probably less of a carbon footprint, still dont know if i am the couch surfing kinda gal!

As yet 2  wonderful things have happened. if you come to guayaquil, please visit teh parque historico. www.parquehistoricoguayaquil.com we were very fortunate to meet with a master gardener, who took us through the whole garden. they compost everything, grow all the food to feed the animals (this is a zoo as well) he went through and talked about all the medicinial plants, what they were good for (ailments) how did we get away from native plants to relieve all of our ills? We spent about 2 hours going over all the plants, medicines, dyes and more. it was wonderful.

the next thing that happened. we met this wonderful women, who along with others started a small chocolet company called Theobrioma Cacao Libertus. www.artepasionecuador.com. they also do art with cacao as well.  Their ´´arriba´´ chocolate bars have a high conten t of barietal cocoa with a perfumed scent of the ecuatorian cocoa bean. They use no vegetable art or vanilla covering aroma. it is delicious. i bought 4 bars for $15.00. they are not labeled fair trade as yet, not even quite sure if they know what fair trade is, as only seem to sell locally.

There are 2 other Fair trade chocolate here, Kallari (salinas) and Yachana gourmet (quito area) haven´´t tasted them as yet,

 I Recieved this great information from Grcrecycling- please read and call them if you have any questions.  

If you’d like more information on cell phone recycling, or if you’d like to find out what you can do to help, contact GRC Recycling, http://www.grcrecycling.com/
Technology is constantly evolving, especially in the realm of cellar devices. You can’t turn on your TV without being bombarded by the newest, fastest, sleekest cell phone model. Each one comes with more capabilities and bells and whistles. So the time comes in every cell phone’s life to say goodbye. Change is good, but what happens to your old friend? Does it end up in a junk drawer? In an old box somewhere? If you’re like millions of Americans, it ends up in the trash….and this can be a serious problem.  Recycling cell phones is an easy process which has many benefits. Below are 5 reasons why recycling your cell should be a priority.

Cell Phones Contain Toxic Materials

That sweet gun metal finish, back lit LCD screen, and QWERTY keypad come at a price, and that price is toxic materials. Most all cell phones these days contain lead, mercury, cadmium, and arsenic. Yeah, arsenic. When you toss it in the trash, it ends up in an incinerator or landfill, where those materials can combust causing some major environmental issues. These materials often times sweep into the soil or drinking water which ends up affecting a lot more than just the landfill they get dumped in. Many of these materials like cadmium and lead are known to cause liver and lung cancer in humans. With the average shelf life of a cell phone peaking out at 18 months, it’s easy to see how these little devices can result in a much larger problem.

All Those Phones Add Up!

When was the last time you met someone without a cell phone? Nowadays kids take notes via text message and surf myspace on their iPhones. Just about everyone has a cell, and they all want the newer, better version coming out next year. If the average cell phone user is only holding on to a phone for 18 months, that creates a LOT of waste. The EPA predicts that more than 150 MILLION cell phones are thrown away each year. That’s 75,000 tons of toxic material waste every single year. There is no sign of those numbers slowing or decreasing in the future. By recycling your phone, you are helping to cut down on this growing problem.

Just Because It’s Not New, Doesn’t Mean It Can’t Work

Wait, you’re telling me that my phone only has a 7 mega pixel camera, but this super new phone has a 16 mega pixel camera?? I’m ready to upgrade. But that doesn’t mean that Mr. 7 mega pixel no longer works. In fact 80% of the 150 million cells that are thrown out each year are in perfect, or close to perfect working order. When you recycle your phone, it is thoroughly inspected for its quality and whenever possible, it is refurbished and resold. But how does this benefit you? You’ve moved on to higher quality pictures and unlimited texts. By recycling your phone, you’ve helped keep production costs down, and in turn it keeps product costs down as well. That’ll come in handy next time you upgrade.

Even If Your Phone Is Dead, It Can Still Be Recycled

You spilled coffee on your phone, your dog chewed it up, and the screen is dead? It can still be recycled even if it can’t be reused. Many times broken phones still have many working parts which are reused in the production of new phones. Even in the event your old faithful phone is truly dead, all the metals and materials used to make it can be broken down and reused to make new cell phones. By recirculating the materials, it can significantly cut back on the need for new metal mining. All this is done in a completely environmentally safe process.

Recycle and Get Involved

November 15th is “America Recycles Day”. This national holiday is in its 11th year and going stronger than ever. Through the countless efforts of many local and national recycling and environmental facilities millions of Americans will learn what they can do to help. According to the EPA, if only 1 million cell phones were recycled, they could produce enough energy to power 1,940 homes with electricity for a full year! If 150 million phones got recycled that’d mean electricity for 291,000 homes. What better way to be a part of ARD than by starting off with recycling your old cell phone.

Biodegradable Jar is Here

Crescent City, CA., Oct 8, 2008 /SOAPWIRE/ — Organic Essence is pleased to announce the introduction of Pure Shea Cream and Pure Shea Butter in completely biodegradable and compostable paper jars. “This ultimate ‘green’ package represents a new opportunity for consumers to enjoy the highest quality skin care while also doing the most they can to protect the environment” says Ellery West, one of the founders of Organic Essence “even the label is biodegradable - you could actually plant the entire container in your garden. Whether or not you have a garden, this new jar will actively help the environment.”

Building on decades of body care experience, Organic Essence makes only USDA Certified Organic body care products because it’s the only meaningful organic standard. It is an organic standard for food that has the virtue of eliminating all of the questionable body care chemicals. “Health is the main reason for organic and the basis of real beauty.” says West, “Americans are coming to realize that we are exposed to hundreds of chemicals on a daily basis. Most are safe for most people, but not all are good for everybody, and sometimes people are harmed. In my view, better health is not about living forever; it’s about feeling more alive while we’re here. The health of our surroundings affects us in the same way, too. Whether or not climate change will threaten humanity, it’s clear that we are trashing our environment, and by extension, our health and everybody’s future. So now people are looking in their stores for solutions to help the environment. With our purchasing decisions, we want to choose better health and a cleaner world.”

“Plastic bottles and jars don’t break down and pretty much last forever, and only 25%, ever gets recycled. Glass has many of the same problems plastic does in terms of persistence and recycling, with the added carbon cost of moving the extra weight around. We needed an authentic green jar, so I went to the major packaging expos looking for alternatives to plastic and glass. Like everywhere else in our culture, there’s a lot of green hoopla, but the industry is just getting started on being ecologically responsible, so there wasn’t much to see.”

West realized that he needed to innovate a genuine biodegradable jar. Paper tubes were the natural place to start because they are inherently biodegradable and lightweight. It was important to make the jar leak proof and sturdy enough to perform to peoples’ expectations. “People shouldn’t have to give up quality for environmental responsibility; I think we can improve our standard of living while also lightening our footprint at the same time. Asking consumers to peel off a label to make a package truly biodegradable is an inconvenience and lowers the overall green quality. So we print our label with pure soy ink and developed an organic biodegradable adhesive and varnish that gives the jar its soft, high-end finish.”

“The fact is that most body care products could be made to USDA Certified Organic food standards, and be even more effective than current offerings. As the market grows, the availability of more organic raw materials will enable many more offerings that are not currently possible. Fortunately, a growing number of people care about their health and the environment. They are demanding real organic products and genuine green packaging.”

“Early on, the organic movement suffered because products did not live up to quality expectations, and tarnished the overall ‘organic’ brand. The ‘green’ movement is in a vulnerable early phase where quality is often overlooked in favor of promotion. Our goal with these products is to set the quality standard as high as it can go, health, function, and environmental. Our work is not just a good idea that sounds good, it must be tangibly better, where anybody can tell the difference.”

Pure Shea Cream is a powerful moisturizer designed to replenish dry and stressed skin. A tiny amount moisturizes hands and body because of its high shea butter content. Also use as a make-up remover. Use more for a top quality long lasting massage that has great glide and doesn’t pull hair. Available in refreshing and relaxing scents: Grapefruit, Lavender, Lemongrass Mint and Vanilla Orange.

Pure Organic Shea Butter is the most effective natural moisturizer for dry and troubled skin. Pure, unscented and creamy. Known for stimulating skin capillaries and promoting the skin’s natural balance, shea butter is gaining widespread popularity. This is the active ingredient found in a growing number of skin care products.

The Organic Essence biodegradable jar functions just as well as glass or plastic, but will break-down without a trace in short order when you are done with it. It’s a blueprint for all sorts of products. The public is looking in their local stores for products to help them solve environmental problems while preserving the quality they expect. “I am actively encouraging other manufacturers to copy our biodegradable jar design, because if they do, the environment and everybody in it, wins.”

Organic Essence Pure Shea Cream and Pure Shea Butter will be available in stores this October, or at http://www.orgess.com/. this September.

Stats from No Wire Hangers, a Green Organizer, 

• According to the EPA about 80% of what Americans throw away is recyclable, yet our recycling rate is just 28%.

• About 3.5 billion wire hangers get dumped into U.S. landfills every year, according to the Hanger Network. Thats about 60,000 cars.

• We wear 20% of the clothes we own 80% of the time. The rest hangs there, just in case.

• According to a study conducted by a Boston marketing firm, the average American burns 55 minutes a day looking for things they know they own but cannot find.

• The National Soap and Detergent Association believes getting rid of clutter would eliminate 40 percent of the housework in the average home. .

• Ikea did a survey of customers in which 31% reported that they were more satisfied after clearing out their closets then they were after sex. 

6 -Quick Tips on Green Organization 

#1.) Made a list of things I needed to change- such as my cleaning products, (including cosmetics). I don’t have much extra stuff, as I do a Clothing Exchange every year and all the extras are donated. Every May the closets get cleaned out!  

#2.) Set up bins/boxes- in garage

These boxes can be easily picked up and dropped off, when I’m in the area of a place to recycle. 

Go to Earth911 to find location of drop offs. Write drop off locations on box so you don’t forget or maybe someone else is going by that location. 

• Electronic Devices, cords, cell phones, batteries   (E-Waste) 
• Sharp objects- razor blades, needles (illegal to put in trash) 
• Old Clothes (to be donated or rags)
• Metal (to be sold for scrap) includes hangers and plastic from dry cleaners. 
• Ink Cartridges and light bulbs (taken to Staples and Home Depot for Recycling) 
• Miscellaneous (could I reuse?, craft projects?) I have old Floppy Discs, wood, old keys in this box,
• Bin for used spray bottles ( will use for homemade products, such as shampoo, pesticides and more) 
• Styrofoam (Can be taken to Mailbox stations) 
• Building Supplies (Paint, wood, extra Stuff) 

Many of the above items can be places on Craigslist (Curb Alert) for free stuff. The key is to recycle and or reuse.  

#3) Went through Medicine Cabinet to clean out Beauty Products and Cleaners 

• Put out all products that needed to be used up- instead of buying
• Threw away old stuff, gave some to handyman and friends.  

#4) Made a list of products I need when I am at the store: I keep a post-it note by my computer and write these things down as I go along. You can always bookmark the pages.  

• Baking Soda (large bag @ Costco $5.99) To be used for shampoo, cleaning, toothpaste, cooking 
• Vinegar- To be used for cleaning, shampoo and more
• Rosemary, Sage, Chamomile Tea, and some oils- (to be used for all of the above) 
• 7th Generation Cleaning- At any store.  

#5.) Set up extra trash- recycle wastebasket in office and bathroom- makes for easy pickup on trash day.  

#6.) Placed reusable bags in car and in my purses and by the front door. 

If you don’t have the time to do this in 1 day- take a room at a time. Use up what you have, make of list of stuff you will need. 

If you are like my mother, and can’t throw away anything you might try calling a consultant to help you. These consultants are like those TV Shows, that will help you organize your home and start a Green and Non- toxic life

No Wire Hangers- No Wire Hangers is a green home organizing business that emphasizes living a more ecologically-minded lifestyle. Not only will your home run more efficiently, but with some small changes, you can also help save the earth.

I am very excited- Next week at this time, I will be in Ecuador! Of course the Galapagos Islands are on the itinerary- and just can hardly wait. As a backpacking traveler, I have always traveled ‘Green’. Nothing weighs over 30 lbs, - never rent a car, walk as much as possible, eat local food, go to the small markets, buy all souvenirs from the locals, never trash and minimize my footprint as much as possible. 

Is that Traveling Green? I hope so- See below definition of Eco- Tourism. 

The Qubec Declaration (UNEP/WTO 2002) suggested 5 criteria to define eco - tourism. They are:

1. Nature based product.

2. Minimal impact management.

3. Environmental education.

4.Contribution to conservation.

5. Contribution to local community.

A more scientific explanation for Eco tourism shall be Environmentally responsible travel to natural areas, in order to enjoy and appreciate nature, promote conservation, have a low visitor impact and provide for beneficially active socio - economic involvement of local peoples.

There are many Eco -Tourism Site- unfortunately, I could not list them all- but check out some of the below sites, that can give you information on Green Travel. Personally speaking, I have used Lonely Planet for years, probably because I backpack and the ThornTree Forum offers great resources and information on many subjects.

2. Carbon Neutral Tourism The Carbon Neutral Tourism blog brings together information on tourism and travel with a particular leaning towards environmental related issues, along with other interesting environmental news.Visitors often cite the environment as one of the main reasons as to why they visit a particular destination. Through reducing carbon emissions and offsetting carbon produced, is it possible for the tourism industry to become carbon neutral to conserve the environment and, at the same time, meet consumer and business needs? Wider concern for the environment and other major ‘live issues’ will affect how people will choose to use their leisure time in the future.

Our aim is to create a trustworthy ecotourism rating system, based on a list of eco guidelines for hotels. In order for a hotel to be listed as an eco hotel on the website, it must comply with a certain number of eco guidelines. Generally speaking, EcoTrotters defines ecohotels as those which: minimize the hotel’s environmental impact, fund environmental conservation activities, encourage free trade in the local community, respect human rights, and promote knowledge and understanding of sustainability and ecological practices both to the hotel staff and hotel guests.
