The truth is that everything single thing we do every day has an impact on the planet -- good or bad. The good news is that as an individual you have the power to control most of your choices and, therefore, the impact you create: from where you live to what you buy, eat, and use to light your home to where and how you vacation, to how you shop or vote, you can have global impact. 

But embracing a greener lifestyle isn't just about helping to preserve equatorial rain forests, it can also mean improving your health, and, ultimately, improving your overall quality of life. Why wouldn't anyone want to green? Keep reading for all the important, big-picture details.

A sampling of the potential health effects of some common household products:

Glass cleaners may contain Isopropyl alcohol and ammonia which can irritate the skin, eyes, nose and throat, and cause coughing, wheezing and shortness of breath.

All-purpose cleaners may contain 2-butoxyethanol which can cause headaches, dizziness, lightheadedness and confusion, in addition to irritating the eyes, nose, throat and mouth.

Bathroom cleaners may contain Sodium hypochlorite/chlorine which can severely irritate the skin; may cause eye damage, coughing or shortness of breath.

 

We have got a great world and are all very lucky to be apart of it, but co2 is taking over our planet. We are all using electricity and fuels too much than we should which produces too much co2 for our planet to handle. This is what is causing all these strong winds, floods, hot weather and bad weather...this is called climate change and that is what is happening.

Some hundred million people live within 3 feet of mean sea level, and much of the world's population is concentrated in vulnerable coastal cities. In the U.S., Louisiana and Florida are especially at risk.

Glaciers around the world have been melting and causing sea levels to rise.

Strong hurricanes, droughts, heat waves, wildfires, and other natural disasters as we all know are more common in many parts of the world. The growth of deserts may also cause food shortages in many places.

Don't forget - helping to save the planet, it can help humans, animals and planet earth. How do you want our planet to be for all creatures great and small in the future?

Yes you can, below are some small ways to start:
Reduce, Reuse, Recyling

Recycling means taking a product or material at the end of its useful life and turning it into a usable raw material to make another product.

Be sure you’re recycling at home. You can save 2,400 pounds of carbon dioxide a year by recycling half of the waste your household generates.

Ever wonder where most of those plastic water bottles go that we knock back from every day? Into landfills, where they live on and on and on and on.

Ever wonder where most of those plastic water bottles go that we knock back from every day? Into landfills, where they live on and on and on and on. Exempt from many state deposit laws, and most often used away from home, where recycling bins are scarce, the majority of water bottles do not make it into the recycling stream.
