"  Here at the GHRI, we think green all year round, but Earth month is a great time to look back at some of the environmentally friendly products we&amp;#039;ve seen over the past year. Whether they conserve energy, cut down on packaging, or incorporate recycled materials, these products are all wise buys.   We liked the concept of Replenish&amp;#039;s Multi-Surface Cleaner when we considered it for our 2012 Very Innovative Product Awards \u2014 and this excellent formula brought the goods. With its concentrated plant-based cleanser it topped our test; plus Replenish comes in squeezable mini pods that boast enough cleaner to make three full bottles, reducing packaging. It comes in fun scents like lemon, lavender, and green tea.  Scott Naturals are a Green Good Housekeeping Seal holder, and were one of our top picks from our paper towel test. Made of 60% recycled fiber, these thick sheets did a good job soaking up messes and cost less than many other brands in our review!   Picking up an energy-efficient bulb is a great way to conserve the power your home uses. The GE Hybrid Halogen-CFL avoids the pitfalls of other slow-to-start compact fluorescent bulbs \u2014 an internal halogen filament switches on for immediate light, while the more efficient CFL warms up. The bulb also lasted longer than advertised without burning out.   Tide Coldwater Detergent is another Green Good Housekeeping Seal Holder. This liquid formula was terrific at zapping protein-based stains (like blood, grass, and egg) from cotton and polyester fabrics in GHRI cold water cleaning tests and tackled tough lipstick and chocolate sauce marks too. The detergent gets points for ingredient and product safety, as well as reducing water usage and production of industrial and hazardous waste in the manufacturing process.   Ever considered how much power your steam iron uses? Well, you can save with the ultra-efficient Rowenta Eco Intelligence Iron. This unique appliance boasts a special soleplate design that traps steam and dedicated cycles that draw less energy without compromising performance. In our tests, it zapped wrinkles just as well as, if not better than, other models.
