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!

Clear Air for Healthy Living

Goes Green means taking good care of our living environment and the effects it has on our health and well being. Doctors of allergy patients remind them that they spend an average of 1/3 of their lives in bed. But in addition, how much of our lives do we spend indoors? And what is the air quality that is available to us? Clean air, pure water and healthy nutrition is a big portion of what designs our physical health.

“Why Use an Air Purifier? Every day the average adult breathes in up to 900 cubic feet of air. And the Environmental Protection Agency states that “since most people spend a majority of their lives indoors, the quality of indoor air is a major area of concern….” In fact, the large surface area of the lungs and the sensitivity of the tissues make them particularly susceptible to air pollution. Pollen, dander, smoke, and mold enter our bodies through our large and vulnerable lungs.

The Air Source 3000 helps reduce all three of the major forms of air pollution: particles such as pollen, pet dander, dust, and cigarette smoke; microbes such as mold and bacteria; and gases and odors. That's especially critical since the Environmental Protection Agency consistently ranks indoor air pollution among the top five environmental risks to public health.”

There are various sizes for different rooms or home/office designs. Isn’t it time that you felt your health is worth it, that includes the whole family? One thing we have in common. We all breathe! The Quality is up to YOU.
