Organic Holiday Season's Gifts

Hello Fellow Followers,


The Holiday Season is going to be here soon so I wanted to share some ideas to stay organic and healthy... Those are 2 websites I chose, but there are of course a bunch of information out there for you to pick from... and I'm soooo glad about that.


Enjoy!

Some info from the above websites: 


The vast majority of conventional products we buy, use and wear every day are manufactured in an unsustainable way. And, as it turns out, what is bad for the Planet is bad for us, too. We are exposing ourselves and our children to harmful Synthetic Chemicals in everything from cleaning products and personal care products to the chemicals used in manufacturing things like clothing, Bedding, Furniture, work bags, children's Toys and lunch boxes. There is, however, an eco-friendly alternative for just about everything!


Organic farming builds the health of soils, ecosystems, animals and people, producing foods higher in essential nutrients. It minimizes dietary and environmental exposure to toxic synthetic pesticides and fertilizers, antibiotics, growth hormones, and genetically modified organisms (GMOs).


Fair Trade aims to help producers in developing countries receive fair wages and move toward economic self sufficiency and stability, while also promoting socially and environmentally responsible practices to enhance quality of life.


Eco-friendly is a growing understanding that producing goods and services with minimal impact on the environment is good for you, good for your community, and good for the planet.

Great News with Unilever!

Unilever commits to 75% sustainable packaging Unilever made a well-timed move to commit to sustainable sourcing of packaging in July with research studies showing consumers will change purchasing decisions to support this type of ethical commitment. Unilever published its sustainable paper and board packaging sourcing policy as part of its commitment to double the size of the business while reducing its environmental impact. The policy outlines the Unilever’s ambitious goal to work with its suppliers to source 75 per cent of its paper and board packaging from sustainably managed forests or from recycled material by 2015, rising to 100 per cent by 2020. The commitment makes Unilever the first global FMCG company to commit to sourcing all of its paper and board packaging from sustainably managed forests or recycled material within a clearly defined timeframe. For the company’s requirements for paper from virgin sources, preference will be given to supplies delivered through the Forest ...

Back from Europe... life there is sweet and happy! The boys and I spent 3 months in France in Brittany, in the middle of the countryside. It's green, humid and it rains so much that our eyes couldn't get tired from watching the grass, the trees, all the the different cultures in the vast fields. What is most pleasant is the way people care about Earth. They know how to recycle, how to reduce energy consumption, etc... They are so conscious about ecology that we have to learn from them. Well, not that they know more than Native people all over the world, but at least, they are closer than people from the US. Of course, there are many exceptions here too and we have to promote and talk about it as much as we can. For example, this product (link below) has been introduced in the US from Japan, 5 years before it was in Europe. It promotes health on many different levels ;  humans, animals and of course plants.... Check it out. http://hdeuxflo.yourbodyiswater.info Thanks and h...

Nano-particules.... not as safe as they predicted!

Hey Guys, I found this great article about nano-particules and wanted to share... @h.deux.flo Nanotechnology was supposed to revolutionize the world, making us healthier and producing cleaner energy. But it’s starting to look more like a nightmare. Nanomaterials—tiny particles as little as 1/100,000 the width of a human hair—have quietly been used since the 1990s in hundreds of everyday products, everything from food to baby bottles, pills, beer cans, computer keyboards, skin creams, shampoo, and clothes. But after years of virtually unregulated use, scientists are now starting to say the most commonly used nanoproducts could be harming our health and the environment. One of the most widespread nanoproducts is titanium dioxide. More than 5,000 tonnes of it are produced worldwide each year for use in food, toothpaste, cosmetics, paint, and paper (as a colouring agent), in medication and vitamin capsules (as a nonmedicinal filler), and in most sunscreens (for its anti-UV...
