http://www.how2gogreen.com – has many practical tips when it comes to selecting earth friendly products. Regardless if it is for use in your home, for the office or something else.
Earth friendly living is of course a huge subject, but the general concept is not difficult to understand: everything that is sustainable and not harmful to the planet and those (people plants and other organisms) living here is earth friendly.
The best approach is usually to change your lifestyle gradually to more eco friendly practices. Cleaning products for example, are one of the more significant pollutants that the average household produce. Simply by paying attention to what these products are actually made of and if they are biodegradable or not is a great step in the right direction.
In all fairness I should also mention that “Earth Friendly” is the brand name of a company producing a series eco friendly products. You can find them on Youtube or in Google.
Here is a more detailed article on the subject of earth friendly living:

My first attempt at building a very basic brick rocket stove. I used bricks because they were quick and cheap … also easy to salvage or buy.
I didn’t have to cut any bricks … and used a total of 22 (@30p each). It is possible to use fewer bricks … but they act as a good heat store.
Rocket stoves are a good efficient way to burn small pieces of wood, they also burn ‘cleanly’ and produce useful heat quickly.

This book is very easy to read with wonderful and useful information. If you want to start thinking "green" then this book is a great start.
The book spans a wide range of topics - including beauty products, cleaning products, linens and mattresses, and home improvement. If you are going to make any large-scale eco-friendly investments (on-demand water heater, organic mattress, hybrid car, solar panels) youre going to need to do much more research than what is in this book. If youre just looking for a primer covering a lot of topics and dont mind it when it states the obvious (bring your own bags to the store, recycle your trash) or hawks products, then you might find this book useful.
Learn how to identify eco-friendly products with these green guidelines.
It’s eco-comedy with Chris and Gerry.
