Convince me to go green

I would like to induce you for going eco-friendly. There are plenty of reasons to live sustainably. Existing with the earth is much more than climate change, it is about pollution, supply management, eco-system management and leaving a better world for our children. 1. Impact of clothes The manufacture of clothing requires huge amount of energy, hard worker and materials, including the usage of pesticides for the crops, dyes and water for coloring, and the labor environment. When you decide to purchase organic cotton instead of conservative cotton which is a chemical-dependent crop, you are making a choice, that is more eco-friendly by being simple on the earth and groundwater. The ecological effect of your garments could be reduced by using eco-friendly detergents, using frosty water in the garment washer, and line drying everytime possible. Wearing used apparel will lessen the number of articles going to the garbage dump. 2. In a woman’s life she uses more than 4 pounds of cosmetics (men are not far behind) The skin being the largest part of the body absorbs upto 60% of the articles applied on it, like shampoos, sunscreens and soaps. Taking into consideration that we tend to use about 10 various products everyday, the quantity adds up to a sizable amount. Selection of green personal care articles means that products with plant-based ingredients are being used instead of those having gasoline derivatives; and the latter are prevented from entering the skin. 3. Water is a non-renewable supply Pure water is the most valuable supply on Earth, and with the impending climate change, so on the accessibility of enough pure water is likely to be a problem. When you are being water conscious, the demand on municipal treatment plants is likely to be reduced and there will be plenty of water for supply. By avoiding bottled water we can reduce orangery gas emissions due to shipping, energy for processing plastics and the waste superfluous bottles going to the garbage dump. 4. Eco-friendly articles are human-friendly too When you are buying eco-friendly and natural products you are assisting local including global craftsmen and societies. Sanctioning for fair trade articles and fair labor performances guarantees that the products are not from sweated labor. Buying products manufactured in the US implies the production processes are subject to stringent labor laws. 5. To leave a better world for our children! I think this one is self illustrative. We need to be sure our life is sustainable so there are ample resources available for our children. Furthermore, we don’t wish to pollute the earth by such means that our atmosphere is harmful to our children’s health.
