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!

Home Internet Biz - is it for YOU?

I had the nicest surprise this morning as the UPS man brought my non toxic cleaning supplies. I love the choice to have auto ship of those things I use on a regular basis. It always feels good to be restocking the family shelves with truly healthy cleaning supplies, laundry soaps and vitamins and herbal supplements. But something I hadn’t noticed was the packaging. They use as many of you know a soft pillow like plastic air filled bags and the bags are #2 which mean they are recyclable. Just pop them, releasing the air and then place bags into your recycling bins.

And amazement … I just checked the nutritional supplements I ordered, yes, the bottles have #2 on the bottom so remove the lids and put those in recycle bin as well. Excitedly I ran around the house and was so happy to find that all the cleaning supplies, like laundry plastic pump bottle, hand soaps, dish washer dispenser, vitamans and more; all are recyclable. Wow, I was first a user of the Eco Friendly Products but even now, as a Distributor, I hadn’t realized the great commitment our company goes to as to be Eco Friendly. They are Goes Green all the way! Now that is something I can really support.

Not only is everything recyclable and thus these packing materials and plastic bottles are not filing up our landfills.

Coal energy is the primary source of electrical energy in US and a huge contributor to the global warming that is leading us head long into an environment that is hostel for living in.
