Garden
There's arguably nothing better suited to going green than gardening, partially because of its environmental nature and partially because it's so easy to make it more eco-friendly. Whether you're buying something to get you started with green gardening, like a garden compost made from recycled content by Gaiam or an eco-friendly garden accessory to add the final touches to your outdoor kingdom (perhaps a solar-powered fountain?), there are plenty of options to make your garden green in more than just color. Even your standard garden necessities can go green, with garden hoses made from recycled materials and natural alternatives to chemical bug repellers readily available. If you're a gardener at heart but limited by a garden-less apartment, don't despair, we've got something for you too.

All Food Recycling Compost Kit with Bokashi
by Gaiam
With the Bokashi compost bucket, now it's easy to discard meat, fish, dairy and even bones right in your kitchen without turning or creating unpleasant smells. Developed in Japan, the All Food Recycling Compost Kit quickly and odorlessly converts your organic waste into a high-grade soil conditioner through the use of effective microbes or Bokashi - a Japanese word meaning "fermented organic matter." Similar to the process used to make wine, this system relies on fermentation to decompose the matter rather than putrefaction, so no offensive odor is produced. In about 10 days, you can bury the nutrient-rich matter in the garden or empty the Bokashi kitchen compost bucket into your compost pile to help improve physical, chemical and biological environments in the dirt. Sprinkle a handful of Bokashi onto the waste every time you add to the bucket. One bag of Bokashi is good for one bucket full of compost. Japan.

WHAT MAKES IT GREENER
CompostComposting is a process in which solid organic materials are decomposed in the presence of oxygen through the action of bacteria and other microorganisms. This process is done by mixing together leaves, grass clippings, table scraps, and soil, and allowing the mixture to decompose into mulch, which is high in nutrients, and useful to fertilize gardens and flower beds.
Recycling is the reprocessing of old materials into new products, with the aims of preventing the waste of potentially useful materials, reducing the consumption of fresh raw materials, reducing energy usage, reducing air (from incineration) and water (from landfilling) pollution by reducing the need for "conventional" waste disposal, and lowering greenhouse gas emissions as compared to virgin production.
Bamboo is one of the fastest growing plants on the planet and therefore highly sustainable. It is an incredibly versatile plant used for many everyday applications from flooring and wall paneling to paper and fabrics. Some of the processes through which Bamboo is turned from its raw form into usable products can have a negative environmental impact.
Polylactic acid or polylactide (PLA) is a biodegradable, thermoplastic, aliphatic polyester derived from renewable resources, such as corn starch (in the U.S.) or sugarcanes (globally).
Reclaimed lumber is used wood that has been taken for re-use, often from long-standing idle buildings, and is sometimes refinished for new purposes. Most reclaimed lumber comes from timbers and decking rescued from old barns, factories and warehouses and some companies have been known to source wood from less traditional structures such as boxcars, coal mines, and wine barrels.
Post-consumer means any material that has been used by a consumer and then recycled for use in a new product. It is not the same as post-industrial waste, which is the reintroduction of manufacturing scraps into the manufacturing process.
FSC is an independent, non-governmental, not for profit organization established to promote the responsible management of the world’s forests.
