Stop letting companies poison you and our environment for profit. 

We are living in a changing world right now. People are getting sick (literally) and tired of all these noxious and potentially toxic chemicals we are exposed to all day long in every aspect of our lives. Even food has become toxic or unrecognizable and so genetically altered and we are next.

While our stupid government fumbles the ball, debates over policies and regulations, and is corruptly ruled by big money and corporations, people are getting ill and turning to a health care industry that is more of the same poison for profit mentality. “Here take a bunch of synthesized chemicals in this pill and when that makes you sick we have another pill for that.”

And don’t even get me started on the whole labeling for GMOs in our food. I say if a company doesn’t want to tell you what is in their food then DON’T buy from them. Period. It’s that simple. Buy food from the company that stands up and says “We won’t use GMOs ever in our food and we are proud to tell you that they are not in this package.”  Problem solved. Poisoners with their GMOs go out of business and good company grows and provides safe food. No fighting and trying to force bad companies to label.

The same goes for all the other products you buy. Those household and personal care products you use are most likely poisoning you while the company that sells them gets rich. Most of the chemicals in these products are NOT tested for safety. They use them because they are cheap and they can make more money by using them. Stop buying all those lotions and potions. You don’t need them. If you use a good natural soap instead of those drying chemical detergent soaps your skin would be so much healthier and you wouldn’t have to spread more poison on it. Oh and eating real food and drinking clean water helps too.

Clean water, did you laugh when I said that? Yes it is almost impossible to find clean water anymore. Let’s go back to all those products you use on yourself. What do you think happens when you shower and wash it off you? Yes it goes down the drain, into a sewer, into a water treatment facility, and into our water supply. Do you really think the treatment facility can remove all the chemicals from all the products that you washed off?

Just so you know, the answer is NO. So now it gets into the environment. If it is a natural ingredient it can biodegrade and not harm anything but so many of these chemicals do not biodegrade. They actually bio-accumulate which means they just keep adding up. So now you are drinking and eating it.

Okay, so now that I have had my rant I will give you some positive news. Human and environmental health issues are not so easy to solve but there are little steps you can take.

Go natural

Buy products that use natural ingredients. Besides my soaps there are many other natural products out there and places like Green People can help you find them. By supporting small green companies you benefit yourself in so many ways. Firstly you gain in your health and environmental health which supports you. Secondly you create a more diversified and competitive market place where you can choose from companies that support your ideals. Lastly, you help to make healthy sustainable products cheaper and more accessible to everyone which makes you a wonderful caring person.

Simplify your life

You really do not need all those cleaning products. You can save tons of money and your health by making your own simple natural cleaners. You can do the same with a lot of lotions and potions and personal care items too. Follow my Pinterest for ideas and recipes.

Grow your own food

One way you can be sure of what is in your food is to grow your own using heirloom seeds. There are many companies that sell them now. If you don’t have enough room for a variety of vegetables and fruits to grow then team up with neighbors. You each pick something to grow and share the harvest. When I had my huge raspberry patch I used to deliver berries to my neighbors. One of them would make jam and then bring me some jars. It was a win win situation. There are also some community gardens if you have no yard at all. See the American Community Gardening Assoc. to learn more.

Get healthy

Okay so this one may not be so easy especially if you have illnesses already but there are things you can do and hopefully stop feeding those nasty drug companies. I believe in Mind/Body/Spirit wellness and how illness in one can effect the others. Besides the obvious healthy diet and exercise advice you can meditate. Meditation is a great way to release stress and even make changes in your body and life. It can be a powerful healing tool.

Another way to support your health is to get out in nature.  Research done by the School of Health and Social Development at Deakin University in Australia shows that being in nature can

“reduce crime, foster psychological wellbeing, reduce stress, boost immunity, enhance productivity and promote healing.”

All good reasons to stop poisoning our earth and start preserving nature. It is also said that being out in nature feeds us spiritually and decreases the need for us to “fill up” that spiritual void with drugs, food and alcohol. Wow all that just for a walk in the park.

Well I hope I have given you some good ideas and I hope more people will decide to stop supporting companies that want to poison you and our earth for profit.

I say the chemical age is over and the age of Natural Life, the way it was meant to be is coming back. I say the days of the greedy corporations are over and it’s time to support the entrepreneurs with morals, ethics and a mission. I hope you are all with me.

I’m just blowing bubbles.
