Ever since I’ve been an adult I’ve had to realize how precious our earth is to us. It’s sometimes hard to keep up with all of the things that are harming our planet and trying to keep up with everything you need to do. I never realized how much of our daily lives have an affect on mother nature and what we have been given. If I honestly didn’t live in the country I probably would be either walking or riding a bike to work or carpooling but living in Eastern NC it’s hard to find that. I received this awesome book called “Ecoholic: Your Guide to the Most Environmentally Friendly Information, Products & Services” written by Adria Vasil. This book has so much information in it that its worth purchasing and highlighting what you’d like to start doing and changing. I never knew that using hair dyes would hurt the earth but it does. Just think of all that dye and chemicals running into the ocean, lakes and streams. That is dangerous for our animals too of the world. Some of the other topics that you can learn about in this book are:
- Doing Laundry with Natural Soap
- Making your own laundry detergent and saving a lot of money and saving our planet
- Turning out the lights more often instead of allowing them to burn all day long
- Using less energy all together
- Using other natural made or eco-friendly products
Ecoholic can go on and on about other ideas for you to continue with and reading this book will really make you think too about how you can help save our planet Earth. I love this book and I plan on continuing with the ideas they have. I want to help out with saving our planet and one of the things that I’m going to be doing more is using cloth bags while shopping instead of using plastic. At least if you use paper you can recycle that! I highly recommend this book and I hope that you all will read it. It’s helpful and useful too!
