We can't do everything. In fact, some of us can only do a little bit due to cost, but we can start making some better decisions in the hope that the government and the companies will start paying attention.
Living organically doesn't require a drastic overhaul and it doesn't have to be complicated or expensive -- Deirdre Imus shows how easy and important it is for women to "buy green, eat green, and be green." From cosmetics to soaps to foods..everything has been researched and is well-documented without being overly pushy or completely non-understandable. Her down-to-earth approach at highlighting the influx of chemicals into our daily lives is enough to make even the most steadfast non-believer take another look- a hard look. She advocates natural healing, earth-friendly and chemical-free products and a vegan diet, but she isn't pushy in her viewpoints. She explains in simple text what benefits these things play in her life and how one can take parts and pieces of that to incorporate into their lives. Very informative.

ReplyDeleteDetailed comment: Food for thought: We each spend about $2,350 a year on takeout lunches. That's a lot of cash, and a lot of trash. Packing your lunch puts the dough back in your pocket and keeps 1.8 million tons of packaging out of landfills. Plus, you're more likely to make healthier food choices!
