<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB">A <b>Led (Light
Emitting Diode)</b> is a diode semiconductor that emits light. Led Lighting may
have an important role in the energetic efficiency in our homes. Changing our
regular lamps to Led lamps we can save up to 85% or more of the energy consumed
and so we can reduce our light bill. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB">The advantages of Led Lighting are an important
decrease in our energetic consumption, saving money, a major lifetime (up to
<b>50.000 hours</b> operating) and <b>it’s more environmentally friendly</b> due to the fact that
compact fluorescents lamps (CFL) have mercury inside, a heavy metal highly
contaminating if it is exposed to the environment. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB">So there are
many advantages when it comes to using Led Lighting and the only inconvenience
is that Led technology is still not advanced enough and so the price of good
ones may be high. Despite that considering its low consumption it works out
more economical in the long run. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB">There is a huge
variety of commercial options that enable us to change any kind of light lamp
or CFL for an equivalent in Led technology. For example, a halogen light lamp
of 50 W has an equivalent of 7 W in Led which implies a decrease of 86% in the
final energetic consumption. That is reflected in saving <b>16 € per year for each
lamp!</b> (calculated within 6 hours working at 18 c€/kWh). So imagine you have 10
halogen lamps of 50 W each and you change them for a Led lamp of 7 W you will
be <b>saving 160 € a year</b> approximately. A Led light that costs<b> 50€ per unit</b> is
amortized in 3 years!! If you have linear halogen lamps you can <b>save 94% of the
energy</b> and <b>55 € per year </b>for each light bulb. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB">Without doubt if you are thinking
of reducing your energy consumption at home Led Lighting is a fantastic
solution and <b>a great way to save energy and money!</b></span></div>Consumidor Conscienthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13625208743274876393noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4801875087871691649.post-47587684698994603992012-06-05T14:32:00.000+02:002012-06-05T14:32:00.689+02:00Menstrual Cup<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

consists of a<b> silicon cup</b> or latex that is introduced inside the vagina during
the period days. Unlike tampons and pads the menstrual cup doesn’t absorb the
fluid, instead it collects it inside in order to dispose of it later. </span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB">Those cups are
reusable and so that makes them environmentally friendly and enable us to avoid
more than <b>11.000 tampons</b> in a woman’s life. It also has an impact on our pocket
due to the fact that its high price is amortized rapidly because of its
durability. Another advantage is its conformability as you can wear it all
night long and the inert properties of silicon provides a decrease in possible
infections.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB">There also are
some inconveniences as it’s difficult to find opinions about it because it’s a
brand new product. You need to boil it in order to sterilize, it can be
uncomfortable to use depending on where you are and like tampons at the
beginning it is not easy to use.</span></div>

commercialized under different brands and some of them are: <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Moon cup, Femmecup, Lunette, Fleurcup,
MeLuna</i>... their price is between <b>15-30 €</b> depending on the brand. So here is
a greener <b>alternative that you may consider!</b></span></div>Consumidor Conscienthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13625208743274876393noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4801875087871691649.post-52845220241663058792012-05-24T23:52:00.000+02:002012-05-29T13:15:26.154+02:00Eggs Label<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: small; line-height: 115%;">Each of the
digits from the code that you can see printed on an egg have a special meaning
telling us in which country they have been produced and how the hens have
been treated. That information can be identified next:</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: small; line-height: 115%;">The first
digit tells us what method has been used to raise the hens. <b>A 3</b> is given
for those which were raised in cages and where hens have very little space
to move in. This results in better controls and more productivity (controlling
illumination to increase production) but that results in a <b>decrease in the welfare</b>
of the animals and reduces their life expectancy. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: small; line-height: 115%;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: small; line-height: 115%;"><b>Number 2</b> is
given to eggs the hens of which were raised on the floor but in high density
of individuals so <b>mobility is reduced</b> and illumination is controlled to increase
production.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: small; line-height: 115%;"><b>One (1)</b> is
for the hen classified as <b>“free range”</b>, those which are raised in big
spaces on the floor but they have the right to be outside for short periods of
time which makes that method more natural and ethical than the others.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: small; line-height: 115%;"><b>Number 0</b> is
given for ecological or <b>organic produced eggs</b> so hens live in a real free
range method in low density and fed with grain form organic production and must
accomplish strict rules in the whole farm.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="line-height: 115%;">After
the first number we find two letters that indicates the country of origin (UK
for United Kingdom). The other numbers tell us the different regions of origin
and the last ones mean the code of the farm industry that produces the eggs.
Now we can see that the label on the eggs tells us a lot of information and
that makes us a more <b>conscious consumer</b> so we can choose in a <b>more ethical way</b>.
So if you need eggs remember <b>buying those which have a number 1 or 0 and </b>you
will be contributing to creating a better world for us and animals that live to
feed us.</span></span></div>Consumidor Conscienthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13625208743274876393noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4801875087871691649.post-56956799584762732062012-05-14T22:04:00.003+02:002012-05-24T23:56:58.990+02:00Sanex Zero%<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: small;">My first post in the English version is a bath gel
that respects your skin the environment and at the same time your pocket! The
mild biodegradable formulation of Sanex Zero% contains a reduced number of ingredients and 0% parabens, 0% colourants,
0% phthalates and 0% phenoxyethanol. Apart from a reduced number of chemical ingredients
its “EcoPack” saves 79% of plastic compared with two bottles of 600 ml. It
has been officially approved by The European Eco Label (<a href="http://www.ecolabel.com/">www.ecolabel.com</a>) for
being better for the environment as it has a minimal impact on the aquatic ecosystems,
fulfil strict biodegradability requirements and limits packaging waste.</span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: small;">The only insecure ingredient for its “toxicity” is “sodium laureth sulfate</span><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: small;">”, which is the responsible for making foam, that can occasionally cause
irritations, but the majority of bath gels, shampoos and soaps contain this
ingredient.</span></div>
