We all have good intentions, but taking action and doing something about those intentions is sometimes easier said than done. As a society we have been doing our part for years now with the Reduce, Reuse and Recycle, but now its time to do more than just that. We must start to look at everything we use in our homes and in our lives, and then start eliminating those harmful products.
It is important to take things slowly, and remember that any small change is a good start. If every family made one small change the cumulative effect would be enormous. For our family we started with our cleaning products, because as a mom I was on a mission to remove toxins from our childrens’ home. They say of all household goods that can harm both health and the environment, cleaning products are the easiest to replace. Since then we have started other green initiatives in our home, such as composting more regularly and conserving electricity and water wherever possible. We changed all the light bulbs in our home to the energy efficient bulbs and even put water saver showerheads in all the bathrooms. I can tell you from experience that once you start making some changes you are compelled to make more. It really only takes starting with small simple changes that when added together you get a significant result.
We can’t change the past so worrying about what you didn’t know isn’t going to fix anything; we must look to the future one step at a time. Remember one small change does make a difference!!!!!!!!
As for our family we have now started our own home based business selling the Shaklee Get Clean products that started our green movement. It’s part of our effort to help others remove the toxins from their homes and go green in the process. Our company has been expanding at a very exciting pace thanks to people wanting to make green, safe and smart choices. If you would like more information about these products don’t hesitate to contact me.
