I happen to believe that our collective buying power is one of the most incredible tools we have for cleaning up our environment. I know it is easy to blame multi-national, greedy corporations for the plight of the planet but the reality is that they are big because we feed them - that is we buy their products. So what can we do? Start making more thoughtful choices. Every time you opt for a healthier product you send a direct message to big companies. Believe me - they are watching!
Sounds easy, but who has the time to research every product? Not me! Buying organic products is probably the easiest change to make because of the NOP standards and seal for organics, but what about my laundry detergent, sunscreen, etc? Fret not, there is help on the way!
