Well, at this point it’s no shock that the TLC crew tries to be friends with the earth. From the disheartening oil spill to the trash vortex afloat in the northern Pacific, we humans are really taking a toll on this beautiful planet. Sitting here in front of this computer, it seems kind of impossible to neutralize the effect we are having on the environment because the problem seems so insurmountable. The fact of the matter is (hopefully this won’t sound too Pollyanna-ish), the little things we do every single day make a sizable impact on planetary health. A lifetime of throwing out plastic bags instead of recycling them, of trashing disposable coffee cups, and of buying products from companies that utilize harmful chemicals (which eventually make their way into our bodies) is adding up. Taking just a few moments to research where products come from/how they are made is just one small but powerful way to lighten the load on the environment. It’s something we can do right now and even if we don’t see the effect immediately, the effect still exists. We just found this eco-friendly site to help us get right with the world with our daily purchases for ourselves and our families. Since life requires supplies that we have to shop for, we might as well shop smart.
