Last week Ripple Products was one of the many innovative companies to participate in the annual Save Water Save Energy Expo, held in Melbourne at the Melbourne Exhibition Centre. Coinciding perfectly with National Water Week, the Save Water Save Energy Expo definitely lived up to its name by showcasing the latest water and energy conservation products, services and solutions available on the market. We were all delighted here at Ripple Products to see our shower timer range displayed in the Sustainability Victoria Resource Smart’s bathroom. All in all the Expo was very well received, demonstrating to its visitors how easily we can all save water and energy.

Blackle.com is an eco-friendly search engine alternative and it is powered by the infamous Google.com. Don’t worry Blackle.com will provide you with the exact same search results as any other search engine, but instead of displaying your search results on a bright white screen, that requires more energy, the screen is basically black (hence the name). Visit the Blackle homepage and you will see the total amount of energy that has been saved by web surfers so far. So set Blackle.com as your homepage and this way every time your homepage is loaded you will be saving energy and, the black screen popping up will hopefully remind you to save energy and the environment!

Green Mom Finds is a great online website that helps parents find safer, more environmentally-friendly products and services. It is a green directory that offers tips and resources to help live a greener lifestyle. We were excited to be contacted by Green Mom Finds so they could trial our Digital Shower Timers. After they tested them, the “moms” posted a review on their website. We hope that this helps more parents and kids to get inspired and help save water!

So our office is trying to take up sustainable practices and we will be sharing some of our research and finds here. One that has come along that really felt like a simple small thing was reducing our usage of staples. Staples are small but they are a single use only item. By using the Stapless Stapler it makes the paper easier to shred and recycle and even to reuse; it also reduces the need for metal resources. The stapless stapler works best with 2-3 pieces of paper. Unfortunately, the clever paper ‘loop’ doesn’t take rough handling too well. For larger bundles of paper we use and then reuse paper clips as well as old fashioned bulldog clips. Now all we need is to find one made of recycled plastic and it’d be perfect. We found our Stapless Stapler here
