Unto 7th Generation

Some say: "The Earth is our Mother; we should take care of her." While others think the Earth is an easy receptacle for our wastes and toxins. How can I, one person or even one family, really make a difference? And is it that important anyway?

We see so much hype on TV and in newspapers on the growing devestation of the earth's environment and the loss of so many species of animals, plants and trees. The oceans are becoming a sewer but when I look around my neighborhood it is so easy to just not see the problem.

So is it hype or is it time to aweaken to the fact that this is the only world we live on and the one we are leaving to our children and grandchildren. I appreciate the teaching of many native people I've been privilaged to work with and study with in different areas of the world. Often they say "unto the 7th generation" when making decisions. In other words .... STOP and consider how this action or non action will affect future generations.

If someone were to come along and dump a load of garbage in your front yard, I'd assume uou'd be a bit miffed yet daily we are dumping and dumping and dumping into the waterways, earth and skies that hold the very elements you and I need for survival.

So let us talk about it and find solutions that we can do to make a difference!

Can I Read it? Should I Eat it?

I loved that commercial with two little boys trying to read the label of some ice cream brand. One was simple words and the other label was unpronounceable. Hmm, it caught me off guard that day and left me thinking. I found myself more often going around the house looking at labels and cruising the stores for foods, cleaning supplies and nutritional products. I found there sure were a lot of L-O-N-G words I couldn’t pronounce let alone understand.
Natural Products OR Chemicals, it’s a choice. On research Shaklee was one of the companies I chose to give my business to and to care for my family. Science and Health must agree.

I also liked that we could be a home and business or now even an internet home business. As I become more environmentally aware, the realization that home businesses are good for the global environmental situation encourages me to make more choices away from Big Business, which often offers less desirable quality.

So if you’re looking for health and nutrition, an environmentally clean home, a part or full time home business which gives you the keys to your future, check it out! I’m glad I did. How about you?
