Ever think that your toilet uses too much water but don’t want to upgrade to a low-flow model? The MJSI HydroRight Drop-In Dual Flush Converter ($30) offers an easy solution to convert your existing toilet into an eco-friendly one.

The converter fits standard 2″ flush valves and offers two flush settings –  a quick flush for liquids and papers and a full flush for solids. The quick flush reduces the amount of water used by up to 70%. The tank doesn’t have to be removed to install the converter but must have at least 10-inches of clearance to fit the converter inside. In total it should take only 5-10 minutes to pop in the converter and start conserving more water.

This bamboo composter ($44) that we found on Walmart.com would be a great addition to anyone looking to increase their eco-chicness. It has both function and style so that you can be green and trendy.

In terms of functionality, the composter holds up to 4.5 quarts of fruit and vegetable scraps, coffee grinds, egg shells, loose tea, and anything else that you want to turn into natural fertilizer.  This fertilizer can be used in your garden to provide rich nutrients for your plants and flowers. If you’re worried about smelling up your kitchen, you needn’t worry — there’s an odor preventing filter built into the lid.

For all of its positive uses, the composter also has a classic look that would be seamlessly fit in with any kitchen decor. The composter has a clean finish and is made out of bamboo, a material that is eco-friendly and sustainable. It’s definitely an addition you could leave on your countertop and use as a conversation starter for your next dinner party.

Extremely intrigued is the feeling that we got when we stumbled upon these GreenWash Laundry Ball ($29) on Gaiam.com. These laundry balls are made to take the place of chemical-laden detergents. Reviews on the website have all been quite positive.

How does it work? Just pop one GreenWash ball into your washer and run your normal cycle. Each ball contains natural ceramics that change the pH of the water which allows water to soften and penetrate into the fabric. It sounds like you still need to pre-treat any stains you might have with either detergent or mixture of baking soda & water though. One ball is supposed to last three years or 1,000 washes.

Check out the Neu Home Recycled Paper Wastebasket ($4) that we stumbled across at Drugstore.com. A bit ironic but what better place to keep trash then in a wastebasket made from former trash?

This eco-friendly wastebasket measures 9.5″ x 9.5″ x 10.75″ so its a great sized basket for an office or bathroom.

Once the wastebasket has completed its useful life, it can be 100% recycled. Since the product is also biodegradable, it can be used as a planter to help replenish the life cycle with a new tree.

A product that’s created from waste and helps bring back life when its done - sounds like a perfect product to us. Know of any other perfect products? Share them in the comments below.

Sometimes you see a product and it just catches the eye. These Glade Earthly Awakening Soy Candles did exactly that when we were browsing Walmart.com. With a fashionable specialty look, we were slightly surprised to find out that the candles were made by Glade, a household brand.

We were also pleasantly surprised to find out that the candles are made from 90% natural ingredients including soy beans, a renewable resource.

The candles are sold in a pack of 6 so after shipping it comes to slightly under $6 for each one. That’s pretty comparable to other home “freshening” type products we’ve come across before. It’s also supposed to have a mellow and soothing scent which means that it’ll probably fit in quite well at home. Looks like this one is going to make the shopping list, will it make yours too?
