Wednesday’s Quick Tip: Looking for eco-friendly cookware? Try checking out your local Walmart. That’s right. A lot of the Walmarts are now starting to carry an eco-friendly cookware line of products, which goes by the brand name of Starfrit.

Whether you are just now starting to stock up on school supplies for your kids or are looking to replace some of their regular school supplies with eco-friendly ones you might be interested in eco-friendly glue. Overall it’s great for the environment, but equally great to your child’s health, especially if they are very young and tend to stick things in their mouth that don’t exactly belong there. Take a look at what is available…

MagiGlue
MagiGlue was refined to a superior adhesive, without using precious non-renewable resources, animal products, or dangerous chemicals. It is vegan and non-acidic. The key to MagiGlue’s success over other bioadhesives is its blend of biopolymers that mimic the complexity of natural adhesive bonds, similar to those that hold barnacles to boats and docks, and algae to river rocks. MagiGlue was discovered by a scientist in Athena’s labs in 2005, while experimenting with a unique biopolymer. She found that it formed a strong adhesive bond when used to glue a wide variety of substances together, and that the bond dissolved in the presence of water. By adding another bioadhesive to the original biopolymer, she created an adhesive superior to standard white glue in strength, but still reversible in water: a property that lends the glue to several specialized uses, in addition to being an excellent all-purpose glue.
