Eco News #17 – Sea otters may prevent from global warming
September 17th, 2012Sea otter is a specie of a mammal that lives on the coasts of northern and eastern Pacific Ocean. They belong to the weasel family, and are able to live on the land, but most of the time, they spend their lives in water.

Eco News #16 – Khimki forest deforestation issue
September 12th, 2012Hello Greenzoners. This Eco News is thank to eyef, who brought us this information. 🙂
Khimki is a forest located near the city of Moscow, in Russia. Its size is 10 square kilometers, the trees that grow in this forest are rare species, and very old – many of them have several hundred years and are listed in Moscow’s Red Book – the document that contains the list of endangered species of plants and animals. The forest has a positive effect on the life of city’s inhabitants – it reduces the amount of the air pollution, by absorbing car exhaust fumes, and holds the noise from Sheremetyevo Airport. Khimki has been for many years under the protection of the state, and construction in that area was prohibited.

Eco News #15 – deforestation reduces the rain in a dangerous scale
September 9th, 2012As it was confirmed by scientists, deforestation reduces the amount of rain and can be a cause of drought – as says the research ran by team from the University of Leeds and the NERC Centre for Ecology & Hydrology.
According to their observations, deforestation in a massive scale such as in Amazon region or Congo may reduce the amount of rain in such a degree, that it could lead to catastrophic consequences. Provided that the deforestation scale will be the same until 2050, there will be only one-fifth (21% to be exact) of rain during dry seasons. It may have harmful effect on places inhabited by humans, in areas that strongly depend on the rainfall. (more…)

Eco Tips: Eco cleaners #5 – clean wooden floors with tea
September 3rd, 2012Dishes clean, as well as tiles on the floor. 🙂 But what if we have wooden floor? A great way to clean wood is tea – to start with, boil a pot of water. Then, add 5 or 6 tea bags into it. Leave it for about 10 minutes, and, after that, pour that tea into your mop bucket – you can add some cold water, if the tea is too hot. Sweep your floor with mop – it should wash off any stains and even make them a little more shiny.
But watch out – it may be slippery. 😉
Eco Tips: Eco cleaners #4 – To make your dishes shine… use ketchup! :)
August 31st, 2012If your cookware such as pots and frying pans are getting tarnished, then you won’t cook much – unless you clean your bronze cutlery and dishes.
To do that, you can simply use… ketchup. 🙂 And nothing else, don’t add anything, don’t mix it with anything… just pour some ketchup on cloth or rag, and rub the tarnished parts until they disappear. After that, clean it with water. Save some time and money and be ecological. 😉
