The utilization of green products isn't an option any longer, it's a necessity.
We've all heard of the footprints we leave on our earth, and we must do something to stop it.
A section of our population is attempting to dissuade us from taking such action by trying to convince us that "going green" is too costly, confusing, and intricate.
The giant corporations are on an endless mission to mislead consumers into promoting products that destroy our earth.
The truth is that we must see through all of the nonsense and stick up for what we know is right.
We must push ourselves to use green products in every aspect of our life so that as a unified front, we can make a difference.
Here are just a few ways one can help achieve our goal: * If you regularly have meat in your diet, try cutting it out at least one day a week.
The manufacturing of meat requires a large amount of land, grain, water, and so on.
This leads to the pollution of our water, air, and earth.
* Try to target food that is modestly packaged.
* Each one of us should try to buy locally raised, humane, eggs, dairy, and organic meat, whenever we see the opportunity.
Needless to say, buying such products from our local farmers and manufacturers keeps our money local and helps boost the local economy.
* Try out eating raw.
A lot of people stick to this one and swear by it.
Try out the local sushi bar, there are plenty to choose from around here.
* It is integrally important that we take steps to educate ourselves about intelligently purchasing green products.
These days, there are so many to choose from! I have personally found tons of incredibly useful green tools on line, and I hope everyone else is successful in doing the same! * Did you know that you can use clothes that are made of alternative fabrics like organic cotton, hemp, bamboo, and flax? These can all help us in our mission to help the environment.
* There are plenty of personal care products that's purpose is to achieve the goals of the consumer while at the same time being environmentally friendly.
If you haven't already, you should definitely at least try some of these out! * One of the easiest and most cost efficient ways that one can "go green" is to stop using bottled water and switch to a filtered system.
I bought a water purifier for my fridge, and it has done wonders! I can't believe that I waited so long to try one out.
* Try using safety razors and razors that are disposable.
There are many types of razors like this that are not only better for the environment, but can save you some money, too! * If you are a big coffee drinker, like I am, than this is going to be a huge one.
I can't get through the morning without my coffee, so it's important that I use re-usable coffee filters.
* Make sure that instead of using paper towels every time you need to clean up a mess you use rags.
Paper towels are extremely wasteful and expensive.
Next time you go to the store check out the price tag and you'll know what I'm talking about! * This was mentioned in our last post, but I think it's important that I mention it again here.
Make sure that you are using green cleaning products.
They aren't hard to find, I found have found some great ones by reviewing them on the Internet.
I hope that these tips were useful to all of you, and even more that people actually start using them! Go Green!
