Environmentally Friendly Products

To save our planet and ourselves, we need to change our purchasing behaviour. When we change, manufacturers will change their production methods. This will cause a snow-ball effect that will make more products eco-friendly. This page lists products and ideas to encourage this change. From cardboard furniture and solar panels to energy saving plugs and clothes dryers. If you would like to include a product on this page please send the link or an email to info@bootkidz.co.uk.

Use rechargeable batteries

Rechargeable batteries have up to 32 times less impact on the environment than standard batteries. They produce 9 times less acid rain, 12 times less impact on water pollution, 23 less impact on non-renewable resources, 28 times less impact on CO2 emissions, and 30 times less impact on ozone pollution.
