GREEN ARTICLES, VIDEOS, TIPS & GUIDES


  The articles on this website, toxinfreeclothes.ca, are about how all of us and each of us can easily change all the small decisions we make all day. Decisions with regard to everything in our lives;  What food is healthiest for our kids to eat? Which colour should we paint the kids room? Where to go shopping for the next round of back to school clothes?  How to treat the latest medical situation that has landed on our life?  What to buy Fred & Ethel for a wedding gift?  What kind of bathroom cleaner or laundry products to try next? What kind of dog & cat food to get at the pet store for Spike & Ginger?  How will we diaper our new baby? Which toys will our baby like? What kind of mattress to try now that the old one is burned out? Which brand of fertilizer will we buy to spread all over every inch of our yards & play areas? ................?

As you can see, the list of decisions we all make every day could be, and actually is, endless.  We all consume trillions of dollars (that's thousands of billions) worth of stuff every year and for the most part, we make decisions about what to buy based on the branding and commercial advertisements that we are bombarded with all day & night. We need to start basing our purchasing & activity decisions on how it will affect our families health & well being. When we can start rethinking all the little things we do, buy and throw away every day, we will start to change the direction that our planets' future will take.

It sounds like a lofty dream perhaps, but it is a very simple reality. We are what we buy. Our planets' ability to support human life has been drastically altered in the last hundred years, exactly because of what the people of the world have marketed, manufactured, produced and consumed. And then repeat, in that order, over and over again.
 It makes sense, then, that we are ALL able to continue to have such a tremendous impact on our planet, quite simply, by re-choosing what we buy every time we shop.  We will still be making our purchasing decisions, same as always, but now we can be armed with the knowledge of how deeply our shopping can affect all of our lives and the future of of the planets' ability to provide life for our kids and grand kids.
No one needs to return to a dusty life spent huddled in the woods living on berries and bark tea. God Bless if that IS the life you choose! 
Nuttin' wrong wit' dat, as our Trinidadian friend Baldhead used to say.
However, it is we, who maintain complex and contemporary lifestyles, who need to know that we can keep our lofty lifestyles and still be huge players in the quest to stop the human created wreckage on the planet. Just by spending a small amount of time finding new ways of shopping and new green products to buy. Green is the next fabulous trend, so, don't hesitate to give 'shopping green products' a chance. The ecological future of human life on earth will always be most influenced by how individuals behave. This is ESPECIALLY TRUE right now, as the population of humans is increasing exponentially.
