Being Eco-Friendly

As some of our natural resources begin to slowly fade away, we begin to remind ourselves the importance of the world around us.  Some of us are trying new ways to save energy, conserve water and try to use less waste. After-all, we only were given one world, and its the only one we have. Some of us are turning more and more to using eco-friendly products. The more people that begin to use eco-friendly products and resources, hopefully the more we are trying to save our earth.


While there are eco-friendly paper products, cleaning supplies and even t-shirts made out of recycled coke bottles-there are now eco-friendly toys and gifts that you can buy for your children, grandchildren or all of those favorite nieces and nephews. Earthwhile sells eco friendly sells cute pull wooden toys and building blocks for little children.  


If you are a frequent shopper and don't want to choose "paper" or "plastic," then buy a few reusable shopping bags. This way animals won't get harmed if they should get mixed up with a floating plastic bag somewhere. Also, the more customers that use reusable shopping bags, the less paper and plastic bags a store would have to order. It's convenient to have your own bags. Not only are they useful for shopping trips, but you can use them to take to the beach or as a bag that has toys and coloring books for your children on those long boring car-rides...


By buying some of these eco-friendly products and toys, it can be fun helping the environment....

Using Your Television as your Computer Screen

If you want a little extra room on your computer desktop, try hooking your computer up to your television. Most new HD televisions and other newer versions allow you to hoop up your computer to your television with special cords. By doing some research, you can find out what types of cords you will need so that you can turn your television into your computer screen .


Doing this can be useful when you want to work on a PowerPoint presentation, or if you want to watch movies from your computer on your television. This would be ideal for those with Netflix accounts or like to watch their missed shows on websites such as Hulu.com. 


If you believe you need extra cables such as VGA cables, you can find them online at Optimization World or sometimes at your local retail stores such as Wal-Mart or electronics specialty stores such as BestBuy.  On occasion, I like to use my HD television as a computer screen to watch television shows or movies. This is useful for when I don't want to sit at my desk. If I want to relax, I bring the laptop to the bedroom, hook it up and then sit down to my favorite television shows....


Of course, when I am not relaxing and enjoying my favorite television shows, then I am writing. If you are a writer or a student in school and need assistance, you can check out ACI-Plus to help you with your writing skills.
