subject: Buy Green For The Many Benefits [print this page] Author: Kurt Roeseco Author: Kurt Roeseco
As time passes more and more people are realizing that it is important to buy green. Green products improve the health of all consumers, from the youngest to the oldest. Choosing green shopping helps to stretch those limited resources which are left for us on earth. We must be good stewards of what has been entrusted us for the success of future generations. Our resources are no longer unlimited, so we must choose sustainable practices to continue life as we know it.
Green shopping involves purchasing foods grown without growth hormones and without pesticides. Prepared foods should not have artificial colors or preservatives added. If you have difficulty in finding these products consider shopping at green stores or green stores found online.
While some grocers may have small sections in their produce aisle that are labeled as organic or green, the selection is often very limited. This is especially true in smaller towns where the demand is low. Green stores offer many organic products that may be difficult to find in traditional grocery stores and are worth a shop.
When you buy green, you must expand beyond basic groceries.
Buying green can mean buying light bulbs that take less energy or installing used materials in our home. When choosing products like wood flooring, we can opt for bamboo that can quickly be replaced with other fast growing bamboo to keep our carbon dioxide levels down and avoid cutting trees that may have taken hundreds of years to grow.
Even you cleansers can be made green. Some of the things we buy in spray bottles is toxic to human beings or to pets. Most can be replaced with green mixtures, some that you mix yourself using hydrogen peroxide, borax, vinegar or baking soda. These cleansers give practically no smell, but are as effective as many of the spray bottles. You may choose to buy these cleansers at variety stores, grocery stores or online at green stores.About the Author:
