Planet Forward On Scene And Living Green At Local Festivals
Posted by: | Comments
This past week Planet Forward was on scene as an exhibitor at the Live Green Toronto Festival. The event was organized by the City of Toronto which showcased hundreds of green products and services ranging from reusable bottles to renewable energy.
The weather was on our side as thousands showed up in their quest toward a greener lifestyle. The festival was in the heart of Toronto at Yonge and Dundas Square. They actually shut down Yonge Street! Yonge Street became “green” street as Mayor Miller welcomed visitors. There was awesome live music, earth-friendly kids’ activities, and tons of organic foods to sample as you walked down Yonge Street to shop eco-friendly products or learn more about living green. The festival was free for anyone in attendance.
The Planet Forward booth was located right on Yonge Street and our eco-neighbors were Arthur’s Juice and Raindance Cosmetics. Other exhibitors included the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC), Livclean carbon offset solutions, NOW magazine, The Zero Point, Toronto Water, Bullfrog Power, Zip Car and many more.

Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous was a television show that ran from 1984 to 1995 hosted by Robin Leach. Every episode ended with Robin wishing viewers “Champagne Wishes and Caviar Dreams”. The show (for the most part) would feature the lavish lifestyles of wealthy entertainers, athletes and business moguls. Lifestyles was one of the first shows to capitalize on viewers interest in the lives of the wealthy. The lavish parties on monstrous yachts, private jets, furs, diamonds, gold and countless cars parked in each driveway. Keep in mind this was before it was hip to be green. At the time, people watched in awe and envy. Now that we’re living greener lifestyles, we’d see things a little different.

Posted by: | CommentsPre-made or MIY (Make It Yourself)? That Is The Question. 
If you are on the hunt for eco friendly cleaning products there are a surprising number of options on the market. Among them is a family brand, Clorox who seems to have taken a new green lease on life after years of bleaching it. Clorox green products are part of a larger trend of eco friendly cleaning products for the home. The new line of Clorox green products is called Green Works and are said to be “made with plant and mineral based ingredients and are not tested on animals”. This line of eco friendly cleaning products is quite diverse with products ranging from a natural toilet bowl cleaner to natural dishwashing liquid, and not to mention the natural cleaning wipes for those quick messes. These green products for the home are said to be 99% natural and Clorox green products have all the cleaning power of their conventional (read toxic) counterparts. But what is the customer feedback on these newest green products? Do they live up to the hype? I took to the web to find the word on Green Works.
