Sometimes when people hear Eco-Friendly they might immediately think of a hippie chick with hairy armpits that hasn't showered in a week (well at one point that it what I thought of). You might look at yourself in the mirror and say puhhh... eco-friendly is that even cool? Why would I want or need to be eco-friendly? My life is great! You don't feel like you can give up your everyday routine of your run to Starbucks, Bojangles, or even McDonalds. The truth is you don't have to and eco-friendly has been cool even before we were all on this earth!
Simply put eco-friendly means doing no harm to the environment. This isn't always 100% possible, but choosing sustainable options or products helps you fall into the eco-friendly category. Like I tell my 3-year old and he tells me "try" and then we will be closer to success.
Our environment provides a wide range of benefits, such as the air we breathe, the food we eat and the water we drink, as well as the many materials needed in our homes, at work and for leisure activities.
When you aren't doing any harm to the environment you are helping yourself by:
1.) saving money
2.) providing cleaner water and healthier food
3.) protecting your future offspring (human or animal alike)
4.) preventing the chance of more disorders/diseases
5.) it can help you maintain a healthier weight (yes be slim?!?!)
Plus so much more! Keep following the blog posts or click on the links as they appear, to see how you can reap these benefits and how great they truly are/or for people who aren't great at tracking blog posts (like myself) I will put the link to each blog post in the list of the 5 main reasons that way you can enjoy them all as they are distributed!
Cheers!
