Blog Entry #3 - An Innovative Indoor Greening Practice for 2022

 

        As time moves on and people continue to innovate, a huge industry for products is the ability to 

make them environmental friendly. For this blog, I found a very interesting product that is 100% green 

with an amazing purpose. The company I've chosen is called Avocado, and they have created a green 

mattress that is recyclable once it's no longer useable, along with the ability to reduce emissions. 

Created in 2016, the company Avocado decided to start producing a green mattress that is "made from 

non-toxic, natural, and organic materials." 6 years later, Avocado is a successful company that produces 

not only organic mattresses, but also pillows and bedding. The idea of this has resulted in the company 

to be "Climate Neutral Certified" and their factories are even "powered by renewable energy and are 

approaching zero waste." Although a mattress isn't a product that is constantly purchased by a person 

on a yearly basis, this product allows for none of their material to go to waste once the condition for it 

is unusable. I loved reading about this product and company because a mattress isn't something I would 

initially guessed would have an environmental friendly product. Moving forward, this gives me hope 

that in the future every household product will be environmental friendly resulting in a massive 

decrease of waste per household.

                As a company, an important ability to have for your products are to make them  environmentally friendly. The product and company I chose for this blog is Glad. They’ve created  a biodegradable composite bin linear, eliminating the plastic one’s results in huge decrease in  the use of plastic for such a common and useful product. Along with it being biodegradable,  they’ve added scents to the bin liners to freshen up the smell from the bin while there’s waste in  it, just a bonus attribute! These bin liners “meet the requirements of municipal compost  programs, ASTM D6400 standards and are certified compostable by the industry standards.”  These are such an important product for the environment because they don’t produce any toxins  when they break down into the ground and create healthy soil on top of that. Glad introduced  this product to make households more sustainable and environmentally friendly. Joy Delis of the  marketing section stated, “We are developing produc

Blog #5 - Being Sustainable for Wildlife

               Throughout time, there have been many things’ humans have caused whether it be for good or bad. A massive topic that is widely known is the extinction of animals due to human activity. For this blog, I’ve decided to go into depth about the Passenger Pigeon. This bird was announced extinct on September 14th, 1914, from the Cincinnati Zoo. Due to hunters over a hundred years ago, this bird was on its way to extinction because they were hunted by the millions for their meat and were shipped throughout the country to be sold at town and city markets. " Hunters often raided their nesting grounds and annihilated entire colonies in a single breeding season." Along with the massive amounts of passenger pigeons being hunted every year, another causation for their extinction was the action of deforestation, and for obvious reasons this limited the habitat for these birds. To prevent the extinction of the passenger pigeon, the reckless amount of hunting that was done per

Blog #6 - Don't throw it away!

  Throughout time, mankind has done extreme damages to the planet, but there are still small goals we can strive towards to help as much as we can. It doesn’t take much for us to find items that we can start using that are reusable. Two items that I personally use that are reusable are water bottles and cloth tote bags I bring every time I go to the grocery store. Although these seem like small little items, they go a long way in terms of plastic use. Eliminating the product of plastic water bottles in my house go a long way due to the amounts of water I try to obtain every day. I personally strive to drink 2 litres of water each day, which results in 4 500ml plastic water bottles. Just over the course of one week, that’s 28 plastic water bottles.    Moving onto tote bags, it is the same kind of premise. Although I don’t go grocery shop every day, the elimination of having to purchase plastic garbage bags every week goes a long way and businesses are beginning to stop selling plastic b
