Creation working with Destruction

Solvent-Free Degreaser

You have seen plenty of inspirational action movies which feature major compounds of good versus evil. Good themes and characters are always in favor of growth, organic methods, and freedom, while evil themes and characters are always veered toward destruction and chaos and controlling methods. Of course, anyone who has ever seen their favorite superhero battle their favorite villain can tell you that it is always good to have aspects of both.

The truth is that this applies in all aspects of life.

Being fired from your job can be seen as bad, unless you can see into the future and you know that it is because you will get a job with three times as much pay and only half the time spent on it. Many people would consider that to be the best option, but not very many people feel comfortable in leaving their current job unless they have the second job solidified. And since that is something which is not easily done in real life, getting fired from your job can be seen as a good thing, rather than some sort of huge catastrophe.

Of course, it is important to understand how human nature works. If you are comfortable with risk, it does not mean that you will stay comfortable if you push it to the point of recklessness.

If Batman and the Riddler had it out on your front porch, you may be cheering for the “good” guy to win, but if you like aspects of the Riddler, too, then wouldn’t it be better to have a single person with both sides of the equation?

Since destructive and “evil” energy is so misunderstood these days, it is important to remember that, in nature, winter is always a part of the seasonal change. Winter is always there, no matter what.

Making Your Campsite Biodegradable

Dishwashing Liquid

Let’s say that you’re off on a nice, family holiday. Well, that’s kind of boring, so let’s change it to a romantic getaway into the wilds. Yes, that’s better. Now, let’s say that you and your frisky lover have set up camp in a nice, quiet, hidden area. It’s easy to see that the place is secluded and that animals are not very afraid of humans disturbing them, so a few furry creatures have cautiously crept forward to inspect the new visitors.

The grass is soft, the trees rustle in the wind, and your four-footed jungle companions are minding their own business now. It almost seems a shame to disturb the quiet and serene landscape with a camp fire and lots of camping equipment, complete with a tent. However, you and your sweetheart set up camp and soon have a nice, roaring fire crackling in the woods.

The truth is, it is easy to “camp out” It is far more difficult to remember to “uncamp” when you are done. Making your campsite biodegradable is easy, once you remember to do it. Pick up all of your non-biodegradable trash, allow organic vegetation to rot into the forest floor, relieve your bathroom needs in bushes at least fifty feet away from the campsite, and follow all park restrictions so that you don’t attract any unwanted animals.

When we here at Envirosafe Solutions were looking for eco friendly solutions to everyday tasks, we knew that it wouldn’t be easy to find real, active chemicals which were both safe for the planet and easily used as daily solutions in industrial worksites and home environments. We had our team of researchers work very hard to find a balance which satisfied both qualities and we succeeded. Our solvent free degreaser, our fuel conditioner, our rust converter and all of our other environmental cleaning products are at your disposal for when you decide to use them. Be sure and take advantage of our thirty day money back guarantee, too. Oh, and try our sanitiser! You’ll love what it does for your extremely dirty places. Call Envirosafe Solutions today to order from us: (+61) 1300 88 90 70.

Check Up On Your Eco Solutions Team

Many large companies have eco solutions teams to help them keep their operations earth eco friendly and to reduce waste and their impact upon the environment. However, there are many ways in which even that move may not fully pan out into the full potential that it could be. What are some ways to round off your company’s eco solutions team and what do we mean by telling you to check up on them?

Not all divisions of your company are synergizing. With every company, you will find that there are divisions or sections of the business which are not quite as in sync with the rest of the business as you believe they should be. When this happens, organize an education of each division by their comrades so that everyone understands their own jobs and the responsibilities of others, and everyone is working together, instead of apart.

Especially make sure that the accounting department and the Eco Friendly Industrial Liquid solutions teams are working together and are aware of each other’s initiatives. This is especially important regarding any tax breaks or cost reduction or financial incentives which are being handed out by your local or federal government at this time. If the account department is aware of your Environmental Cleaning Products efforts, then more money can be saved, more of our wonderful planet can be sustained, and more revenue can remain within your business.

Make sure that your eco solutions team is modern. This is especially important if new incentives have recently been introduced or if new technology is renovating how companies, especially large international companies, are reducing cost, reducing fuel and emissions, and increasing self sufficiency. One of the most important reasons to remain self sufficient is to maintain a durable competitive advantage over your competition, i.e. other businesses in your industry and competing industry markets.

Use discretion. Keep an eye on your eco solutions team’s progress and planning for new agendas. This is not to say that you should require notification about every small step, but talk to individual employees, especially management, about current projects once a week, and make sure that you are being kept in the loop on a fairly regular basis.

Envirosafe Solutions offers one more way to keep your company as effective and as eco friendly as you can make it. Our eco friendly waste removal kits, absorbent spill kits, industrial degreasers, and industrial strength disinfectant are available for shipping today. 

Researching Green Movements in Your Neighborhood

It is hard to make your life entirely extreme green eco friendly when you are not aware of all of the ecological resources available in your local community. For this reason, we have put together a list of ideas and ways in which you can research eco friendly movements in your own area, no matter where you live!

Call your local chamber of commerce

Every city has a chamber of commerce or a local chapter for business affiliations and this excellent place to start when looking for an established company or business operation which specializes in or includes eco friendly practices and environmental help.

Practice your social networking skills

Whether or not you are a whiz on Facebook or MySpace or Google+, social networking will get you into direct contact with fellow “green” followers who want to make a difference. Subscribe to the feeds of local eco friendly organizations and people who are passionate about the earth, and you will receive live feed of all the latest developments and ways in which you can help sustain your local economy!

Network in person

When you go out to a rally, pick up all of the flyers which are available and talk to all of the organizations which are represented. Become actively involved, if not in the movement itself, in learning about ecological advances and in hearing about what each person can do to improve earth sustainability and fuel efficiency and biodegradable products! When you get home, take out your notepad and list all of the organizations involved. Then, make a separate list of all the features you would like in a charitable organization that you would donate to financially. Make phone calls, email representatives of each group and find out which are the most suited to your charitable abilities and interests!

Ask everyone

When you go out to eat or go to the symphony or the opera or you simply have a business meeting, ask people around you what they do to help protect the environment and about their own participation in local organizations. That way, you can hear about and judge different operations without having to spend a great deal of time and effort exploring each one individually, one after the other.

Envirosafe Solutions offers eco friendly cleaners, Toilet Bowl Cleaner, and lubricants. We offer a 30-day money back guarantee, so that you can try our products and see how effective they really are, with no danger to your initial investment. 

What are the Efficiency Standard Edition and the Equipment Energy Efficiency Program (E3)?

Today Envirosafe Solutions, producers of eco friendly liquid products brings you news about the Efficiency Standard Edition and the Equipment Energy Efficiency Program– a quarterly publication that brings you up to date news on energy efficiency and the need for sourcing efficient whitegoods and electronic products.

Appliances generate an enormous amount of greenhouses gases. This is now a proven fact. This actually means that all of us in the developed world contribute significantly to greenhouse gas issues and emissions and the way we live has a direct and dire affect on our planet and the future of the world.

A real and concerted approach to this fact – one that entails personal accountability and a willingness to change – is at the very heart of what is needed for ongoing change that can save the planet from dire environmental consequences.

The E3 Program

The E3 Program in Australia seeks to inform and implement requirements in relation to the MEPS or minimum extreme green energy efficiency requirements and mandatory energy rating labels that are now an inherent part of appliance purchase in Australia.

The program began in 1993 when it was realised that various activities in relation to power consumption by appliances needed a national and co-ordinated approach. Initially the program only referred to refrigerators and freezers which were viewed as the main offenders of CFC production.  Since then, the program has expanded its application to many appliances and has also been adopted by New Zealand as a meaningful strategy in the fight against greenhouse gas emissions.

The E3 now reports back to the Energy Efficiency Working Group and to the Ministerial Council on Energy. The basis for inclusion of new appliances depends on the community benefit that will arise if a particular appliance becomes part of the program.

Market intervention in the form of labeling

Most of you will be familiar with it. You walk into a major retail or appliance store and nearly every appliance is labelled in the corner with a large yellow star rated sticker that tells you how much energy the appliance uses. This system is actually viewed as “the world best regulatory target” and Australia needs to be extremely proud of this system. It informs, educates and safeguards the environment against the possibility of excessive energy use when more energy efficient Environmental Cleaning product alternatives may be available.

The Efficiency Standard Edition

This is a quarterly publication that offers you more detailed appliance information as it comes to light in the retail and government sectors. The kind of information outlined gives you a thorough insight into new products. For example, the last edition in 2010 took a comprehensive look at home entertainment systems which account for around 5% of household energy use in Australia.

Envirosafe Solutions supports the government dissemination of information about energy use by appliances. Envirosafe Solutions also produces eco friendly products for homes, business and industry. 

Agriculture and Climate Change

The CSIRO recently published their long awaited Climate Change book, Climate Change: Science and Solutions for Australia. The publication provides fresh and up to date information on the latest scientific findings on many climate change topics relevant to Australia and the rest of the world. “Climate change research over many years shows links between human activities and warming of the atmosphere and oceans. This warming has caused changes to the climate system, such as changes in rain and wind patterns and reductions in Antarctic sea ice.”

But what are the real implications for agriculture. How does the agricultural sector successfully adapt to climate change here in Australia, given we are already a continent of vast extreme green and weather variations, which are only going to become more pronounced?

Envirosafe Solutions has taken a careful look at the publication’s chapter, “Adapting Agriculture to Climate Change,” and outlines the latest findings and information relevant to the sector.

Agriculture and changing conditions

Dr. Chris Stokes and Dr. Mark Howden know all about agriculture and climate change. It’s one of their specialist research areas. Both academics maintain that “helping agriculture adapt to climate change involves helping communities to understand why adaptation is needed.” Education is key and Australians from the agricultural sector need to understand that new flexible, risk-based approaches will help, along with a simple adoption of already existing best practice management strategies and good natural resource management approaches. Radical and aggressive measures and changes to operations may not always be required, but there still is a national imperative to equip Australian agriculture to be prepared to adapt to climate change and use Environmentally Friendly Liquids.

The sector, including fishing and forestry already copes with a harsh environment, and producers may in fact be well placed and already adept at continually managing their practices to deal with extreme conditions. Climate Change and global warming may well undoubtedly add a new aspect or dimension to these conditions, but because of the historical familiarity with extreme weather patterns, Australia’s agriculture sector may fare better than its counterparts from other regions on the planet.

Collaboration is the key

The authors however, point out that proper adaptation cannot be left to farmers and agriculturists or even governments alone. “Everyone involved in the food industry, including policy makers, research and development providers, enterprise managers, politicians and farmers can contribute to solutions by working in collaboration. For example, Governments can ensure that water and drought policies accord with successful farm adaptation and do not impede it.”  It is this collaborative approach that will ensure successful and timely adaptation occurs with minimal bureaucratic obstruction and red tape.

Envirosafe Solutions supports Environmental Cleaning Products for a collaborative approach to climate change for the agriculture sector. The sector needs to be supported through changes by bureaucracy, governments and government departments and various stakeholders. Farmers and agriculturalists need to be listened to and “every strategy should derive from working with farmers, fishers and foresters to develop a choice of alternative adaptations to suit the range of likely climates they may encounter.”

The Humble Loo

Porta-Loo Treatment, Toilet Bowl Cleaner

We need them. We rely on them. Just about everyone in Australia has one. And there is nothing worse than entering into one and finding it dirty, smelly and unclean.

Yes…we are talking about the humble loo… the WC, the lav, the khazy, the good old Aussie backyard dunny. And whether it is an outhouse OR an in-house, whether it is a pristine part of your home or office space or a light-weight transportable port-a-loo, the good old toilet in all its guises and designs, all its shapes and sizes…needs regular cleaning. 

E-Coli 

Toilets are a rich breeding ground for potentially harmful bacteria. One such nasty is E-coli, a fecal coli form commonly found in human and animal intestines and also in fecal waste matter. While some forms of fecal coli form and E.coli are harmless, others are known to cause severe gastric and dehydration problems which are painful, costly and debilitating. 

The Shiga Toxigenic E.coli infection (E.coli 0111 and E.coli 0157) are known to cause diarrheal illness, nausea and vomiting and abdominal cramps, and at worst, can lead to Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome (HUS) which is characterized by kidney failure, bleeding and anemia. These strains of E.coli are easily spread – particularly when individuals come into indirect contact with the particles in contaminated water.

A clean loo is a healthy loo

Envirosafe Solutions understands the need to keep the toilet area of your house or office free from such nasties. Its Extreme Green Toilet Bowl Cleaner is formed from a high foaming sanitizing and cleaning gel with increased viscosity, which means more product punch for your money. It’s phosphate free, non-toxic and has a three point green Envirosafe Hazard rating, making it safe to use in any environment.

Envirosafe Solutions also produces a port-loo companion product that is designed for use in long drop, septic and portable toilets. Great for caravans, boats or remote regions where cassette style or the long drop systems may be in use, The Extreme Green Porta-loo Treatment is fully bio-degradable and can be emptied into a caravan’s waste-system or and enviro-cycle type system with the minimum of fuss. It keeps the area fresh, germ-free and appropriately perfumed and has an indefinite shelf life, making it great for remote areas and travelling. Extreme Green Porta-Loo Treatment is also free of formaldehyde which means it can be used without harming this beautiful land of ours. Simply pour 25 ml into the holding tank with 250mls of water once every seven days for optimum results. Rest assured your toilet area will be clean, germ-free with low waste-impact on the environment.

Graffiti – If you Spray You Pay

Extreme Green Graffiti Remover

Graffiti continues to pose a substantial cost to local and state governments, nationally. Time and again, community members wake to find an expanse of pristine wall across the road from their homes or businesses, “tagged” with the latest spray painted graphics of street artists who use public and private wall spaces, roads and street surfaces as their canvases. It is an ongoing problem and an ongoing concern and costs the taxpayer millions of dollars each year.

In an effort to curb the problem, South Australian Police have proposed a new approach, stating that offenders should be made to pay compensation.

At the moment, the laws governing graffiti in South Australia are under review and up for consideration are ideas in relation to effective punitive measures that actually deter graffiti artists from tagging. South Australian Police Commissioner Mal Hyde believe “a HECS style scheme where offenders are made to pay compensation for the damage their graffiti causes, once their income is high enough,” may be the way to approach it.

Director of the South Australian Youth affairs Council, Anne Bainbridge disagrees and says restorative justice s a more effective method of dealing with youth graffiti. “This entails young people who have committed graffiti vandalism being involved in cleaning the vandalism or restoring the vandalism, and also engaging with the broader community about the effect that behavior has on the community.”

The problem is so significant Australia wide, that the New South Wales government has even issued a detailed publication on graffiti for use by local government, planners and designers. Titled the “NSW Graffiti Solutions Handbook,” it outlines the cost to the community, its sub-cultural value to youth as a component of contemporary pop culture, as well as various means and ways of addressing the management of graffiti and its removal, across the state.  Part of the approach entails educating youth on the development of legal pieces in designated local government areas or areas where youths might congregate such as youth centers, skate parks and recreational parks.

Envirosafe Solutions has developed a highly effective and specialized graffiti cleaner that can remove tags and obtrusive and unwanted graffiti art from most surfaces. Extreme Green Graffiti Remover is an environmentally friendly liquids alternative to older style graffiti remover that contained harsh, toxic acids that were unsafe and difficult to use.

It can remove liquid paper, crayon, whiteboard marker, permanent text markings, ink and spray paint. And it can be applied to a variety of surfaces such as glass, brick wood, concrete, metals, masonry surfaces and plastic. It is suitable for use on just about any surface that has been vandalized by tagging and graffiti art.

Extreme Green Multi Purpose Lubricant

Extreme Green Multi Purpose Lubricant

A good lubricant is an indispensable tool to keep your equipment running quietly and smoothly. Skimp on the lube and you’ll quickly see your maintenance costs spiraling out of control. Not all lubricants are alike, however, and it’s important to understand the differences in order to be more productive with your time and money.

There’s an enormous range of lubricants on the market, and they vary wildly in quality. Too many lubricants are made of cheap solvents, like kerosene and white spirits. They do the job, but are susceptible to drying out and washing off with water contact. Using these lubricants, you’ll find yourself doing frequent reapplications. This costs you time and money, and what’s the point of buying cheap lube if you’re forever heading back to the shop to get more?

Investing in a water-resistant and long lasting lubricant is a no-brainer. You’ll get better mileage for your money and spend less time on maintenance. Multi Purpose Lubricant is a highly resilient, lubricant that works on all moving parts. It displaces moisture, penetrates rusted parts and inhibits corrosion while keeping your machine purring softly. You can even use this lubricant as cutting oil in lathe work and other applications where metals are honed.

This Eco Friendly product truly is the ideal lubricant for tough Australian conditions. Multi Purpose Lubricant is especially effective in applications where salt is present – ideal for the mining industry and marine equipment. The corrosive power of seawater is too much for most lubricants, and cheap products simply won’t cut it on your outboard motor or seawater pump. An application of Multi Purpose Lubricant is guaranteed to last many times longer than conventional products in wet and salty conditions. Do your boat a favour and use the best lubricant available.

Like all Envirosafe products, Multi Purpose Lubricant is an iron fist inside a velvet glove: powerful, yet gentle at the same time. Unlike many solvent-based lubricants, Multi Purpose Lubricant will not damage plastic, fibre glass, enamel or any other common non-absorbent materials. You won’t get any nasty surprises using this product. Multi Purpose Lubricant does not contain silicone or any toxic chemicals, making it completely safe to use and dispose of.

Don’t fritter your money away on cheap, ineffective lubricants. Insist on an Environmentally Friendly Liquids that delivers long lasting results in all conditions. Invest in Multi Purpose Lubricant and your equipment will thank you for it. For more information on the Envirosafe Solutions range of lubricants, please contact us on 1300 88 90 70.
