With a world that is slowly becoming more focused on products that have a minimal effect on our environment it is like a breath of fresh air when we see what companies like greenandmore.com are doing in the way of offering environmental products to consumers.

The best thing is that many environmentally aware solutions like solar power if used long term are not only better for the planet they can be better for the bank balance as well.

No one as yet charges for you to harness the power of the sun - it's freely available to all and what gives life to much of the world can also help to provide heat, power and light to your home.

Of course there is more that can be done apart from just solar power, think about purifying the air, recycling wood and plastics instead of creating more pollution and of course smart compost handling that turns garden waste into nutrient rich plant food.

We all need to do our bit to protect the future of our species, and although the pollution of the world may seem to big to do anything about, be assured that by everyone doing a little bit the earth will be around for a lot longer yet!
