How To Choose An Environmentally Friendly Garden Hose
Consumers are becoming more and more aware of the affects that every day household items can have on the environment. Let's face it, going "green" has become hip. Americans are increasingly looking for products that do not harm the environment.
Manufacturers are jumping on the trend towards environmentally friendly products in big way. In fact, even the standard tried and true garden hose is getting an extreme makeover these days.
Have decided to replace that old garden hose with an eco-friendly one? If so, here are few guidelines that will help you choose the right one.
Recycled Materials
A true earth friendly garden hose should be made from at least 50% recycled material, usually polyurethane or rubber, or a combination of both. Polyurethane hoses are generally much lighter than an all rubber hose. From an environmentally friendly perspective, the more recycled material in the hose you choose, the better.
Water Conservation
Water may one day very soon be Earth's most precious resource. The conservation is water is critical and hose manufacturers have stepped up to do their part. Eco-friendly hoses today use patented water restrictors that control pressure and help avoid soil erosion and puddling. A good hose will use at least 50% less water than a traditional garden hose.
Lighter and More Flexible
Recycled polyurethane is 2-3 times lighter than all rubber hoses. Look for a light hose that still contains a UV protective coating. Without it, the hose could become cracked much easier after exposure to direct sunlight. This will also prevent the hose from kinking as well.
Drinking Safety
Everyone who has taken a drink for a garden hose has probably has this thought: "just how safe is this water after traveling from the spigot to the other end?". With today's eco-friendly hoses, this is no longer a concern. As with other products bearing the name, "green" garden hoses use non-toxic substances and are completely safe to drink from.
Environmentally safe hoses come in all sizes and lengths. Next time you go to replace your old hose, consider purchasing one that is not only easier to use, but better for the environment as well.

I need to find a complete heater hose assembly for a 1996 3.8 V6 Camaro?
My car has been at the mechanic since last Monday, and they said they cannot locate the part(s) to repair it anywhere within the U.S. Now, I decided to help them out, but the guy that's my main service advisor is not there today. The problem they are having is not so much with locating hoses, but locating the piece that attaches the hoses. Do you know anything about this, where I might find the complete assembly with what attaches them? Any advice would be appreciated.
The part is on a backorder through AC Delco and a junkyard is going to be my best bet, or locating it used on the internet
