The word “lifestyle” seem to be the current buzz word. Lifestyle this and that… etc.

How I live, craft and eat is all about having a minimum impact on the environment. I guess it comes from the fact that I am a Buddhist. I am a green beginner, but am determined to be good at it and do my best to incorporate much more of the green lifestyle into my living. Sometimes it’s confusing because you see some lovely lifestyles, but if you look carefully you would be asking lots of questions… how are they produced? what are the ingredients? where do they come from?. I want to make sure that my lifestyle functions as efficiently as others but is also environmentally sound.

Anyhow, I have been a huge fan of Ecover for a long time. They are good detergents (love the smell and their cleaning power is not compromised only because they are green) but the only thing is that their smaller packs you find in the local supermarkets are a tad more expensive than some of the other non-eco-cheaper alternatives.

Recently I found out you can buy large packs of Ecover products so I did not hesitate to buy them. This meant I could help save money, plastics and environment! yipppee!

Even Wata likes them (LOL!)

The more I read about them, the more I love Ecover

No phosphate = Does not starve river from oxygen

Fast biodegradable surfactant (makes lather) = Protect frogs and other water-living organisms

Citric acid based limescale remover = Quickly breaks down and non-toxic

Their toilet cleaner needs much less water to neutralize the detergents = save you water

Plant-based chemicals and fragrances = Unlike petrol based chemicals, they are biodegradable, non-toxic and sustainable

No optical whitener and foal booster = No dodgy chemicals that are nothing to do with the cleansing power and cleanliness of things

You can watch a general info about Ecover company here (I liked watching how Ecover products are made in a factory). Below is also a short video clips about their collaborative work with WaterAid in Ethiopia.

I just think it is amazing for a company to do something good for the environment and people AND be profitable. I hope that one day Cotton & Cloud will be like that (fingers and toes crossing big time).

So why am I talking about Ecover? Because I am so happy and want to let you know that we are having a LIMITED ECOVER OFFER. Basically you will receive a 100ml bottle of ECOVER washing up liquid (lemon and aloevera) for FREE with every order (i.e. physically posted orders). I thought I will spread my enthusiasm of eco lifestyle and Ecover products through the world of C&C.

Hope you have a great week ahead It’s been forecasted to be quite warm in London!
