Ecological cleaners by Wasea

September 10th, 2012

Hi Greenzoners! Did you like the latest Eco Cleaners series? If you liked them, please tell us your opinion about this, that really helps us develop this site and provide with what you need most in blog updates. 🙂

Also, one of Greenzoners, Wasea, wrote and published something more about them on his blog. If you’d like to know more and use that in future, just go see Wasea’s blog: http://greeznoner.wordpress.com/2012/08/26/sfaturi-eco-curatitori-naturali-pentru-casa-ta/

If you have some even different experiences or ecology-related ideas, just tell us about this, and share. 🙂

As it was confirmed by scientists, deforestation reduces the amount of rain and can be a cause of drought – as says the research ran by team from the University of Leeds and the NERC Centre for Ecology & Hydrology.
deforestation

According to their observations,  deforestation in a massive scale such as in Amazon region or Congo may reduce the amount of rain in such a degree, that it could lead to catastrophic consequences. Provided that the deforestation scale will be the same until 2050, there will be only one-fifth (21% to be exact) of rain during dry seasons. It may have harmful effect on places inhabited by humans, in areas that strongly depend on the rainfall. (more…)

Dishes clean, as well as tiles on the floor. 🙂 But what if we have wooden floor? A great way to clean wood is tea – to start with, boil a pot of water. Then, add 5 or 6 tea bags into it. Leave it for about 10 minutes, and, after that, pour that tea into your mop bucket – you can add some cold water, if the tea is too hot. Sweep your floor with mop – it should wash off any stains and even make them a little more shiny.
But watch out – it may be slippery. 😉

mop

Hi Greenzoners, did you know what can be used as a non-chemical and eco-friendly cleaner for your house? 😉

vinegar for cleaning

It turns out that white vinegar is pretty good in cleaning different surfaces. Just make a solution constisting equal portions of vinegar and water and mix it! (more…)

philosophy ecology

Recently we spoke of fish adapting to changing climate, as well as coral reefs. Now about tropical species.
Those species, that used to live in warm, humid areas, like lizards or insects are ectotherms – animals that require heat from environment to prosper correctly. That makes them dependent of temperature, which means – changing  temperature would cause harm to them.

Hi Greenzoners, about the question about wind farms
The country with the highest amount of them is… China. 🙂

No one predicted it? 😉

Hello Greenzoners, most of you have probably seen or heard about wind power plants. Yes, these big, white windmills, for some beautiful, for others ugly and destroying the landscape. 😉

Anyway, here are some facts about wind power plants you may not have known 😀 (more…)

Hello there Greenzoners! Guess what is this in that picture. 😉

Checking for image's description is pretty clever ;)

Where we can find it, and of course – why are there so many different colours? 😀
