Eco-Friendly products

In recent years, terms such as "green products" or "environmentally friendly" have been frequently used on tv shows, social media and products packaging. The term "ecological" has been used for so many different products and practices that its meaning is in danger of being misinterpreted.

The making of a truly environmentally friendly product takes into account both environmental and human safety, the product must be non-toxic to both humans and the environment.

Other environmentally friendly features includes the use of ingredients that are cultivated or farmed in a sustainable way, produced in ways that can not cause damage to the ecosystem. Organic ingredients or materials are grown without toxic pesticides or herbicides.

Products that are "made from recycled materials" contain glass, wood, metal or plastic that has been recovered from waste and turned into something new. Biodegradable products are degraded through natural decomposition, which puts less burden on landfills and the ecosystem as a whole.

Do we get a greener lifestyle by changing habits?

Of course! You can develop environmentally friendly habits that will help you use less and upcycle what you have.

Like:

• Turn off the lights when you leave the room
• Use a programmable thermostat to heat or cool your home only when you are there
• Do RIGHT the recycling process
• Buy products that are environmentally friendly
• If you have a business, you can establish some practices, such as recycling programs throughout the company to conserve natural resources and telework of employees, with teleworking reduce air pollution and fuel consumption by eliminating daily commuting to work
• Reduce meat consumption. According to a study by Johns Hopkins University, which used data from 140 countries, if one decides to cover only 1/3 of all meals with meat and the remaining 2/3 with vegetarian recipes, he would reduce fgreenhouse gas emissions by almost 60%

It is up to us to change our daily habits. We think ecologically every day! Did you do something ecological today…. ??
