Eco Tip- Going Green In The Month Of Green!

Eco Tip Of The Month, Going Green in The Month Of Green!

Join all the Leprechauns this month by making your decision to go green. going green in march


Every little bit helps, every step you take matters in helping the world get clean and get off of toxic products in our home, on our skin and in our bodies and getting off of our addition to oil. The easiest way to do this is to just change one thing you do that is bad for you or for the environment per month. If you take the small steps you will make big changes. Every action causes a reaction so decide today to make a step for better health this month. What better month can we begin this than during the Green month of March!

So for this month the action step is to change your laundry detergent from one that is highly toxic, poisonous to you and your children to one that is safe and non toxic. You can choose from many of them at Whole Foods or Nutrition World. We use Seventh Generation Free and Clear Natural Laundry Detergent. It is non- toxic, biodegradable, hypo- allergenic and last but not least not oil based. It has no perfumes, no dyes, no phosphates, no optical brighteners and fights stains without animal enzymes. There are other brands you can get at your health grocer. Publix here in Wellington sells the Seventh Generation products and so does Alberston's.

Did you know that your liquid detergents that you buy at your grocery store, Costco, Sams, Target, etc, are PETROLEUM BASED? I bet many people do not have a clue about that!

You are making a difference when you switch your laundry detergent from a petroleum based detergent to a vegetable based detergent.

If every household just replaced one bottle of petroleum based detergent for vegetable based detergent, a size of 50 ounces and double strength-


GET THIS-

We would save 233,000 barrels of oil! That is enough oil to heat and cool 13,400 homes for a whole year!


We must think of the impact we have on our earth for our children and our children's children.


Choose to make a difference today by changing to a natural vegetable based detergent this month and from here on forward.

Seventh Generation laundry detergent

We have been using non toxic, vegetable based, animal free laundry detergents for 3 years now and our clothes are clean and we are healthy. Join us today!

Sound advice. Oil is in everything. Pesticides that are sprayed on our produce, which is then wrapped in plastic. I'm going to check out those Green detergents.

We have started a Chamber of Commerce Green committee to take a look at businesses in our town.  We will continue to look residendially, but we now want to take a look at resturants, building materials, recycling waste, etc for our businesses.  We plan on putting together some projects and then use the templates on other similar businesses.  AJ

Andrew- Way too much oil addiction! It is also in the printing inks we use. We buy organic produce but we still put it in those plastic bags at whole foods. The detergent works really good, they put Borax in it. You can also use baking soda or borax for deeper cleaning in your laundry. With your child; I would stay away from any additives, colors, dyes, fragrances, artificial flavors.

This is a great greent tip.  It is just starting with a few things and then building upon that.  If everyone did a green tip per month, that would be awesome.  I hope more people realize how easy it is to go green.

Fred- That is great! I would rather see an electric van but that is a step in the right direction. We use full spectrum lighting in our home and home office. Happy Sunday.
