Why Go Green?

When my husband and I decided to go green we thought that it wasn't going to be easy, but we quickly realized that being green became contagious. We started with the simple things like switching our regular lightbulbs to CFL's and our toxic cleaners to more eco-friendly ones. Before we realized it, it grew and became a life changing reflex.

We all want what is best for our health, our families and future generations. We don't have to be superheroes to save our beloved earth. We only need to give it a little more thought when we make everyday decisions. We all buy and eat fast food because it's cheap or microwave leftovers because it's convenient. Do we ever give it a second thought about how these actions effect our planet? There are pesticides allover the lawns where children play and even in our homes!!! We use toxic chemicals to clean our homes, the clothes we wear, and dishes from which we we eat and cook with. Our planet is polluted by toxins, even the food we eat contain pesticides and carcinogens.

We have lost our connection with nature and the importance of it. Due to our lack of knowledge and habits our planet is suffering. But there is hope. By learning more about our environment and what is healthy and safe, as well as changing many of our habits we can help to create a better world.
