Access to an extraordinary assortment of goods and services has allowed us to make our lives easier and more enjoyable. However, as our planet reaches its resource limits, we must learn how to live within the means of the Earth. Many of us are reaching the limits of what a material existence can offer and are seeking to simplify our lives.
Living a life of environmental stewardship requires that we educate both ourselves and the businesses from whom we buy. While only a small percentage of businesses are producing products in an environmentally responsible manner, the nature of business is to satisfy you as a customer. You are in a position of more influence than you might imagine. Buying environmentally responsible products and making specific requests to companies both go a long way in determining what gets produced. - Adapted from the Green Living Handbook |
