I've recently started to make more of an effort towards helping the enviornment, it's nothing extreme, I'm not running around in hemp pants and not washing my hair. A big part of trying to help is that I've stopped buying bottled water, I used to buy one atleast once a fortnight, I would refill it and reuse it of course, but I started thinking about the cost...not just to me but also the environment.
Makes you wonder how companies are allowed to get a way with it. Water should be free right?? I've bought a B.P.A free water bottle that isn't to big so I can carry it with me and won't need to buy water.
Also I've been researching skin-care products that are Sodium Laurel Sulfate and Paraben free.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parabens
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium_laurel_sulfate Here is some information about both these chemicals, basically Methylparaben can cause premature skin aging when it's exposed to UV rays and S.L.S can irritate the skin after prolonged use. The downside is that there aren't many products out there that are free of them. http://www.sukinorganics.com.au/ This is a really good line of products that I've used and they're tagline is 'Skin Care That Doesn't Cost the Earth'. A small change can have an impact, I still take a longer than needed shower and sleep with the fan on, but I think trying and having some sort of goal is a good place to start.
