In an effort to save the environment, bio-degradables are becoming very popular. Some supermarkets in the UK are now supplying bio-degradable carrier bags. This is a positive step in the right direction towards improving the environment. Among the more popular sources of bio-degradable raw materials is the humble soya bean (somtimes simply known as soy). In China, the soya bean has been cultivated and used in different ways for thousands of years. Soy was considered as one of the 5 holy crops, besides rice, wheat, barley and millet.
Soya beans are very versatile: soya beans can be used as whole soya beans, soya sprouts, or processed as soya milk, tofu, tempeh, soya sauce or miso. Soya is also used as ingredient for non-food products, such as candle wax and biodiesel. Soy candles are becoming more popular because they burn longer and healthier and are environmentally friendly. Since the soy can be cultivated it is thus a renewable energy source. If you are thinking of purchasing soy candles then visit.

Hey! Thanks for all the great info. I was browsing through a bunch of green websites and blogs and I came across yours and found it very interesting. There are a bunch of others I like too, like the daily green, ecorazzi and earthlab.com. I especially like EarthLab.com’s carbon calculator (http://www.earthlab.com/signupprofile/). I find it really easy to use (it doesn’t make me feel guilty after I take it). Are there any others you would recommend? Can you drop me a link to your favorites (let me know if they are the same as mine).
