I was writing this as a reply to a recent post and thought I should take it out and share it here since this is an environmental group.<br />
<br />
Today, my son just threw out one of those inflated toy. One of those that you blow into and let out the air so it makes a farting noise. That only lasted him a day. Some of these toys only lasted a couple of hours, some perhaps a week and that's it. Imagine how many millions of these toys ended up in our landfill.<br />

<br />
I will NEVER ever buy these toys. Sadly many unconscious people would and give them away as gift too. We have several of these from concert, parties,etc. - big inflated toys like baseball bat, oversize hammer, sword,etc. Just imagine how much waste for such short period of fun. It seems to me, man is creating more and more unnecessary rubbish.<br />
<br />
It's just hard to imagine that in this day and age where environment issues is so widely known, people are still doing things that they could so easily stop doing for the sake of our Earth. Sometimes I see shopping carts, filled with like10 or 20 plastic bags of stuff. It cost only 99cents to get a cloth bag and it can be re-used endlessly.<br />
<br />
Keeping the peace is good but sometimes I think the rage I feel inside is perhaps a good thing as it acts as a catalyzer for action. What we needed is environment education in this area. We need people who to make videos and show the world how their daily actions affect our earth. Anyone out there?

Companies to SUPPORT would be those who have listed "DO NOT TEST ON ANIMALS" (usually on the back), they may also have the PETA approved "Leaping Bunny Logo"<br />

For beauty products, such as face wash, body wash, lotions, etc. I really like "Burts Bees", "Alba Organics" (which can be found at most major stores)...and "Aubrey Organics" (you probably need a organic/ natural health food store for that) ...<br />

When you are conscious about what you are using, you feel like you are in the drivers seat, you can use products guilt free and make a difference in the market!

I am wondering about how others feel about the clothes they buy? I have a hard time bringing myself to buy clothes unless they are made from organic cotton, hemp, sustainably grown bamboo or used. Cotton uses approximately 25% of the world's insecticides and more than 10% of the pesticides (including herbicides, insecticides, and defoliants.). The Environmental Protection Agency considers seven of the top 15 pesticides used on cotton in 2000 in the United States as "possible," "likely,"…

Cotton uses approximately 25% of the world's insecticides and more than 10% of the pesticides (including herbicides, insecticides, and defoliants.). The Environmental Protection Agency considers seven of the top 15 pesticides used on cotton in 2000 in the United States as "possible," "likely," "probable," or "known" human carcinogens (acephate, dichloropropene, diuron, fluometuron, pendimethalin, tribufos, and trifluralin). Cotton pesticides can be extremely hazardous, particularly when poverty prevents users from taking necessary precautions. More about this at <a href="http://www.pan-uk.org/pestnews/Issue/pn52/pn52p12.htm">http://www.pan-uk.org/pestnews/Issue/pn52/pn52p12.htm</a><br />

Unfortunately sustainable clothing is hard to come by where I live and also costs much more. So then I think about which has more impact on the environment, buying a cotton shirt locally or ordering an organic one off the internet, which in turn uses a lot of energy to get it to my house. Sometimes it seems like you just can't win. Then I think it's probably not good for me or the global conciousness to worry so much about it. What are your thoughts on the subject?

I've spent the last about 3 years searching for eco-friendly products. I've had some luck on the internet (I'll post some links). But it has been difficult, especially in local stores. Finally now I'm starting to see more products locally. It's very unfortunate that it is so hard to find products that aren't harmful to us and the environment. It seems pretty backwards. But hopefully now that people are becoming more aware, that will change.(In fact it seems to be already) Many of these products…
I've spent the last about 3 years searching for eco-friendly products. I've had some luck on the internet (I'll post some links). But it has been difficult, especially in local stores. Finally now I'm starting to see more products locally. It's very unfortunate that it is so hard to find products that aren't harmful to us and the environment. It seems pretty backwards. But hopefully now that people are becoming more aware, that will change.(In fact it seems to be already) Many of these products cost a lot more than the regular products that most people are used to. I also hope that will change, because I know many more would make the earth-friendly choice(even if they don't understand the importance of it) if they could afford it. Although, there are some you can make yourself and that is considerably cheaper than the conventional products. I clean houses using all natural cleaning products, some of which I make myself(I will also post some recipes, very simple). I'm wondering what it is like where other people live(SD seems to be pretty behind on things), is it easy to find enviromentally safe products? Are there a lot of people that use them? Do they cost a lot more than conventional products? I would really like to know your thoughts on this. And what it is like other places.
