Think Outside the Kitchen
People often only think about Organic & Natural in terms of food. Here are some other types of products to look for to help reduce our chemical impact on the planet:
|
|
|
- Pet Products - Buy high-quality natural pet food made from pure protein sources raised without growth hormones or antibiotics, and that does not contain any animal by-products or rendered meat or chicken meals.
|
- Clothing and Fabric - Organic & Natural fibers, such as organic cotton and wool, are available many places these days.
|
- Shampoo and Skin Care Products - The demand for Organic & Natural shampoos and skin care products has encouraged the development of many different varieties and brands.
|
- Personal Care Items - Using Organic & Natural cotton balls, feminie hygiene products, diapers, and toothpaste can make a huge difference in our impact on the planet.
|
- Paper Products - there are many companies that offer office paper, tissues, toilet paper, and paper towels made with post consumer recyled materials. Switching to recycled paper products is a small step that can create a huge impact.
