Thanks to the trend toward eco-consciousness and growing consumer demand, eco friendly options are now more accessible and more affordable than ever. We no longer have an excuse for purchasing the same old toxic products that pollute our bodies, our homes and the earth.

Our earth is everyone’s responsibility. We all want to have a healthy environment to pass on to our children, but it can often seem like eco-friendly behavior is difficult to attain. Environmentally conscious consumers will be happy to hear that more and more earth friendly product lines are being developed to make healthy living simple and convenient.

Living an earth loving life is not just good for the environment in the long run, it is also good for your health immediately. The chemical products that have become so ubiquitous in our
society’s day to day life are making people very sick. Research is now linking chemicals found in everyday household products to a prevalence of allergic reactions, occurrences of asthmatic
attacks, infertility and even the rise of cancer. An earth friendly product provides a healthy alternative that will work great and not make people sick.

There are many harmful aspects of our homes that we have little control over. It is unfortunate, but many of us live in homes that were built in ways that are not ecologically friendly. Although many people are not aware of it, their homes are filled with pollutants in the form of paint, fabrics, and the very building materials that hold up the roof. These products emit fumes and gases that actually cause the air inside a house to be more polluted than the air outside.

Sometimes the best things in life are free - or close to it. You can get the freshest organic produce by growing it in your backyard. Cleaning products? Don’t bother. Use vinegar, salt, baking soda and elbow grease for most of your household cleaning jobs. Vinegar, water and a spray bottle will clean better than toxic blue window cleaners for example. A bonus? If your three year old decides to drink it, they will make a nasty face but you wont have to call poison control!

Although homeowners tend to start in an environmental deficit, this does not mean that they cannot make their houses healthy over time. Natural home products have been developed for all
aspects of life, including home building materials, chemical free cleaning products, organic foods, natural beauty products, and environmentally friendly fabrics. By always selecting an earth friendly product, consumers can ensure that everything new entering the house will contribute to the overall good of the family’s health and the environment’s future.

There is now no excuse for using chemical based products. First, it is easy to find retailers that carry natural products. Shoppers no longer have to go to specialty stores because the
earth friendly product they desire is likely stocked on their local store’s shelf and can even be found online. Second, as the products gain strong fan bases, clear favorites are starting to
stand out. Next time you are out shopping, look to see which products most people are reaching for. Finally, unlike before, natural products are very competitively priced, making them
affordable for all budgets.

Sheryl’s comment:
Please believe that the small things make a difference. Your choices have an even greater impact if you choose items that are sustainable, fair trade and not tested on animals. Every eco friendly choice you make does make an impact and it will improve your health, your family’s health, your quality of life and the health of the earth - not to mention your peace of mind.
