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!

Green Clean - What does it mean?

What does Green Clean mean?

Well let us take a look at some of the components for the concept Goes Green:
1. Nontoxic
2. Natural
3. Biodegradable
4. Hypoallergenic
5. No phosphates
6. No chlorine bleach
7. No chlorine bleach
8. Not tested on animals
9. For many fragrance FREE is vital, some people natural fragrance is tolerable
10. Highly concentrated so as few containers are used as possible
11. Containers for products that are recyclable
12. Order through internet to save on driving and unnecessary use of gas/fuel for your car
For me, non toxic fragrance free, fits my concepts of running a Goes Green home. It is always convenient and delivered right to my door. I’m finding I’m saving money, mostly on the highly concentrated products: for example – laundry, dishwasher soaps, kitchen cleaners and such. I also save gas and time not having to drive for that forgotten item that I would have run out of. Well, it makes a BIG difference.

I put a lot less into the recycle bins or garbage cans, save $ and time. When we decided to become a Goes Green home, I had no idea how passionate I would become as I did my research with Google on environmental issues. Now I'm equally passionate on helping others make a good income from home while helping others themselves. What goes around comes around.
