Which is the Best Water Filter for You? The Brita Pitcher, Dispenser, or Faucet?
It doesn’t take much convincing anymore to encourage people to use a water filter. It’s understood that tap water is great but it’s worthwhile to put your drinking water through an additional filter before drinking. When I think water filters I’ll probably always think of Brita. I remember when we bought our first Brita filter [...] -
Natural Latex, Organic Cotton Mattress and Mattress Pads
If you’re in the market for a new mattress and you’d like to find something with minimal toxicity, off-gassing and the like, then search no further. If you’d like to spruce up your existing mattress with a little eco-savvy, you can do that too. Why natural latex or organic cotton? Many people have no choice, [...] -
Energy Star Washer: LG is Best in Class, Here’s Why…
Tell me, is your washing machine running? Oh, you’ve heard this one? What do you mean “sort of”? Well, is your washing machine running efficiently? Does it save you money on utilities while it conserves water? Or is it the same old junker you’ve had forever? Wait a second, don’t feel bad, purchasing appliances is [...] -
Natural Laundry: Organic Liquid Detergent From Essential Oils Sans Toxic Chemical
While the benefits of natural cleaning products are increasingly recognized, it’s rare that we hear about the importance of natural, organic laundry detergent.

Home Composters Made Simple – From the Kitchen to the Garden
We get so many inquiries about home composters that I finally forced myself to delve into the world of the deluge. I like to remind people that we’re “lazy” here at the Lazy Environmentalist, but I’m also glad to see that composting now falls into our domain because there are few things in life so [...] -

Organic Bed Sheets From Cotton or Bamboo – A Reasonable Luxury
Buying matchy-matchy bedding sets will one day become as passé as coordinating one’s belt to one’s shoes. For grown-ups, it’s all about handsome neutrals in damn-this-feels-right organic cotton. Concentrate on quality fabric, not overly studied prints you’ll soon grow tired of. That way your decor will remain as sustainable as your sheets. Not ready to [...] -
Pillowcases & Shams for Kings, Queens, Embroidery-lovers, and Allergies
Pillowcases are declaring independence from the confines of the sheet set. Think funky solo designs embroidered on shams, or traditional (albeit newly roomier) cases in nouveau-neutral hues you can re-use when it’s time to overhaul your interior. The KOKO Company Willow Pillow ($64), distributed by Nimli, is embellished with ruminative, prairie-hued graphics. This upscale, eco-chic [...] -
Quality Cutlery for the Eco-Conscious Cook
