Biota water, it tastes great and has a biodegradable bottle
Yum. I may be biased, living in Telluride, so close to the home of Biotia, but I strongly recommend their bottled spring water. It tastes amazing, and the bottle is made from corn based plastic, which biodegrades into the earth in about 75 days….

Compact Flourescent Bulbs
At a cost of $10-$20 per bulb, some people may think you mad for choosing compact flourescents (CFLs) over conventional $0.50 incandescent lights. Tell them to do the math.September’s issue of Business 2.0 tells us that industry giant Adobe Software recently spent $11,000 upgrading all of the lights in its San Jose HQ to CFLs. Yes, 11k sounds like a lot, but with anticipated annual electricity savings in excess of $105,000, this stands as yet another example of how going green can save you green.
