4 multitasking baby products that save you money
2013-04-05 17:44:01| Product Reviews by ConsumerSearch.com
Those calming breaths you learned to do in childbirth class? They'll come in handy in the baby superstore aisle, too. That's because baby products are a $9.8 billion industry in the U.S. with hundreds of new products added to the line-up each year. To save money, it pays to buy products that do more than one thing or that can be converted to something non-baby-related later. Here are four baby products that can give you your money's worth. grassdryer.jpg Boon Winter Grass Countertop Drying Rack, $17.99This handy drying rack has flexible plastic (BPA, PVC and phthalate-free) grass-like blades that cradle hand-washed bottles, nipples, other bottle parts and baby spoons. Water drains into the lower tray. Multi-tasking bonus: The Boon Grass drying rack is a great way to dry delicate wine glasses. The plastic grass holds upside-down stemware in place so they're less likely to break, compared to the rough and tumble of a regular dish rack. babeecover.jpg Babee Covee 6-in-1 Baby Blanket and Cover, $39.99 - $49.99This mom-invented product functions six ways. It can be used as a car seat tent cover to shield a napping baby from the elements, a nursing cover, a high chair or shopping cart cover for protecting your baby from grimy restaurant or supermarket cart seating, a stroller blanket and a playtime blanket. The Babee Covee is reversible, featuring a printed cotton side and a "minky" plush side. The center Velcro pouch makes it all possible. Best of all: The Babee Covee is machine washable. diaperdekor.jpg Diaper Dekor Plus, $39.95 The Diaper Dekor Plus is more than a diaper pail. Pop out the diaper insert, which is designed to seal in diaper odors, and it becomes a garbage can that you can use way past the diaper phase, in the bathroom, kitchen or garage. The wide opening and sleek design set the stage for the trash-can transformation. The pail is made from durable ABS plastic, which holds up over time and doesn't absorb odors. It comes in soft pink and soft blue for the nursery, but if you're thinking ahead, go with white, black or sage instead. packandplay.jpg Graco Pack 'n Play Playard with Cuddle Cove, $199.99 This play yard comes fully loaded with a removable rocking seat for newborns, a bassinet insert for sleepy babies under 15 pounds, a changing table attachment for babies up to 25 pounds with parent organizer for diapers and supplies and a basic mesh-sided play yard that can function as a travel crib. An electronic module attaches to the Pack 'n Play's rails to add soothing vibration, sounds and songs to your baby's play yard experience (batteries not included). Although the play yard retails for around $200, that's not bad considering that it's four products in one. read more

Can we meet rising food demand and save forests?
2013-04-03 22:25:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Mongabay: A few weeks ago the Skoll World Forum hosted an online debate on how increased global consumption can be balanced with sustainability. The debate asks how a rapidly growing world that is ever consuming can hope to feed everyone, and at the same time address the deforestation that is emitting massive amounts of carbon into the atmosphere and destroying the worlds greatest tropical forests. Many contributors made very strong points--even contradicting one another in their approaches and ideas. The...
CO2 Emissions: Can Europe Save Its Cap-and-Trade System?
2013-04-03 12:31:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Spiegel: Europe's cap-and-trade system for reducing the release of greenhouse gases is broken, but not everybody wants to fix it. Industry has profited immensely from the plummeting prices of CO2 emissions certificates, and from lax checks on questionable environmental projects undertaken overseas. Saving the climate? It doesn't seem all that difficult at first glance. All you have to do is fly from Germany to Zambia once in a while, as the German energy giant RWE's environment protection team does. It...
