Step 1 ~ Eco Green

Eco Green

When we start realizing that YES – the little things make a BIG difference -We would change the way we live. We think about the ONE water bottle we buy everyday. We don’t think about the ONE MILLION other people buying the same bottle. . Sure TV Dinner’s and microwavable meals are GREAT! They are quick and easy! They sure do fill up the garbage can quickly! Imagine the 20 garbage cans on one block! It’s really just like saving pennies! They do add up. If you’d like to find out more about RECYCLING, ORGANIC, ECO & ENVIRONMENTAL friendly choices, Check out some of the following ideas and links ~ The first thing I recommend to EVERYONE is to purchase a copy of the Book, BIG GREEN PURSE and READ IT. Then I encourage you to Go on-line and take the pledge !! Now think about all the chemicals and preservatives you’ve eaten in that quick meal… and we wonder what happen to our skin!

~ START SIMPLE!

You can purchase a few REUSABLE SHOPPING BAGS and USE THEM !!

How about - Bio degradable garbage bags? for the kitchen and bath…..

Think about things like the Chocolate and Coffee you buy…..

~ STOP!

before you buy, think about what your buying….. Think, organic, chemical free, eco friendly – Read the labels!
