Reasons To Go Organic! Part 2

Image


I found this infographic with the other one and it shocking as well because you would think the FDA would at least try to do it's job and protect us from toxic chemicals but it seems their quite laissez faire about whats put in are food. This leaves consumers to do the research to find foods and products that are health and non-toxic.Organic will always be the best choice even if its is a little pricey because why waste money food and products that will only poison you.

Hydros Reusable Filtering Water Bottles

Hydros Reusable Filtering Water Bottles can save the environment and at the same time help bring clean water to those in great need of it (people in remote and underdeveloped parts of the world).  I know it has a filters chlorine, chloramine, and particulates but I want to know at what degree does it filter them so I may ask the company about this before purchasing.

Reasons To Go Organic!



Recently I saw this infographic on pinterest and it really wasn't completely shocked because I am aware of the overload of chemicals in beauty products but I was a little shaken when I saw that there is a synthetic formaldehyde in hair relaxer because I'm no stranger to a good perm, it makes me so happy that I now have braids so don't have to be exposed to such a dangerous chemical.

Also here's a video from The Campaign for Safe Cosmetics on the dangers of beauty products.

Falling Whistles is a non-profit organization that I just found out about that if you buy one of their whistle necklaces it will support bringing peace to the war ravaged Congo. I love the whole idea of the organization and hope that I can soon get my hands on one of the cute yet powerful symbolizes of peace and freedom. Go Support Falling Whistles!
