What's in your personal care products?
Look at the labels the next time you are out shopping for your personal care products. Watch out for ingredients like polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) on it.
Don't be surprised if you see such plastic beads in the body or facial wash that your family have been using. Why are these microbeads in the product? Where do these minute plastics that you rinsed off flow to? Do you think you should continue to buy such product?
Get the answers to all these questions by watching this video from the "Story of Stuff Project" gives you clear .
In USA, the California State Senate has already passed the legislation to ban the sale of personal care products containing plastic microbeads. If signed into law, by Democratic Gov. Jerry Brown, the legislation would go into effect on Jan. 1, 2020.
This means that "selling or offering for promotional purposes in this state a personal care product containing plastic microbeads that are used to exfoliate or cleanse in a rinse-off product" will be prohibited.

Help! Cut less trees.
What have wheat straws got to do with paper? Saving them is a step forward solution to using 80% less trees in the production of paper. So, ask for "Step Forward" paper if you can get them.
I picked this up from Woody Harrelson, the guy I watched playing bartender on "Cheers".
Cheers, Woody.

Shit? Great for fuel.
Check out how the women in Shaanxi created their abundance from human and animal waste collected.
In seeking for a solution to stop erosion by cutting down trees for fuel, the Shaanxi Mothers won an Ashden Award for Sustainable Energy in 2006 for their efforts.
Not keen about using your excreta to create fuel? How about using food waste? Here is how a homemade anaerobic digesters look like.
Like that? Then let LordVaader show you what components you need and how to assemble them to make your own.

Going green rearing chickens, anyone?
I remember my grandma rearing chickens in our ancestral home when I was a kid. I did not think much of it until I came across this presentation by Sarah Gilbert.
Her family discovered form rearing chickens, how to tread lightly on earth. Would I be rearing chickens soon? Not lightly. But Sarah's story did get me thinking what I can do to get my family to see things differently enough to be aware and care for the environment.

Environmentally thought provoking t-shirt
What's your environment like? Is it safe for your children?
Think about it.
I did say that this is a very thought provoking t-shirt or is it just me...
Anyway, if air pollution is the concern, here are things you can do about it.

Why should we care about the environment?
Why should we care about the environment?
"Environmental quality is one of the key factors in determining whether a child survives the first years of life. A healthy future for our children will be ensured only through safeguarding the environment.” UNEP, UNICEF, and WHO - 2002
Let's do it for the children.
