Living Green –

I have had some thoughts brewing that were stirred up by the experience of the moving process. They are related to people’s concepts of ‘What is Eco-friendly’ and What people may ‘pass off’ as eco-or planet-friendly , which I have seen to be contrary to my belief in what is planet-friendly i.e. in support of our health and the health of our planet.

My recent experience -

I had my furniture cleaned by an ‘environmentally friendly’ company. They did an excellent job and I would use them again and recommend them with one realization in mind. While they were cleaning my sofas and I was busy continuing to pack boxes. I noticed a scent in the air that immediately registered as a ‘not’ natural aroma. When I asked what that was the cleaner said it is a ‘deodorizer.’ I commented that there was NO odor in my furniture and he agreed saying we always use this when there are pets. That raised a FLAG to me. I commented that ‘Clean’ has NO smell and their deodorizer to me was a toxic odor. Bless them, they are a wonderful company and re-cleaned my furniture to remove the ‘odor of the deodorizer.’ They did such a good job that I had them clean all my area rugs, tapestry and other items.

What is the true, pure definition of Environmentally or Planet - Friendly?

This is my core belief and my criteria for choosing anything that enters my physical environment, i.e. food, body care products, household cleaners and clothing as well how I have developed the Garden of Eve Skin Care products.
Only the elements that exist in nature belong in our environment.

i.e. Only elements that are produced by the planet are planet-friendly.
This is why...

What grows in nature is made of the same vitamins, minerals, enzymes, hormones and essential fatty acids that we are made of. That is why we benefit from them as our food, herbal remedies, and aromatic potions. Our bodies accept these as similar to and in alignment with our chemistry and thus conducive to building our health. Each plant, animal and mammal is different only in that these elements are configured differently for each species. Any highly processed version of any of these natural elements is no longer of the same purity and same essence as nature produced. It is therefore recognized by our bodies and our environment as a foreign substance that is potentially toxic. Research has shown that synthetic chemicals and synthetic fragrances specifically, are potentially toxic to our health and to the health of our environment. They are contrary to our natural chemistry and that of our planet. The deodorizer that I smelled got my attention immediately as not natural and toxic to me. Our sense of smell serves us as an early warning system. It is worthwhile to pay close attention. Only elements that are the same as what we and nature are made of are truly “planet friendly, environmentally safe, or eco-friendly.”

Skin Care - Clean and Green for Our Planet

by Eve Stahl

We are currently living in an era of people sincerely caring about what they can do to help protect and contribute to the greening of our planet. We are presented with great ideas and food for thought on how we each can contribute to this worthy cause. One area that has a great impact on the health of our planet, yet is not often touted as such, is the skin care and body care products that we use daily.

Awareness of the importance of using non-toxic body care products to protect our personal health has been successfully highlighted by the campaign for safe cosmetics and the environmental working group on their cosmetics database website.

There is growing concern that many of the body care products on the market also have a negative impact on the health of our planet due to the effect that the synthetic chemicals commonly used in their manufacture have on our environment. Many of the ingredients used in commercial body care products are petroleum based synthetically derived chemicals. Those chemicals eventually end up in our streams and rivers from the discharge of wastewater from sewage treatment which does not remove petro-chemical compounds. The good news is that cosmetics that are safe for people are also a healthier choice for our planet.

Green skin care products protect the health of our planet. Garden of Eve produces such green skin care products. Their products are made with natural ingredients free from synthetic chemicals. Their Ingredients are sourced from fair trade and sustainable companies. The company strives to create minimal waste and toxicity by choosing reusable and recyclable packaging materials. They reuse packing materials from all shipments and welcome such materials from local stores that would otherwise send them to land fill. In house and out-sourced printing is on post-consumer waste paper with vegetable base ink. Additionally, their administrative decisions are based on green choices, e.g. using energy star rated equipment. All decisions are made in the interest of minimizing the company’s carbon footprint.

What difference does this translate to for the consumer? Garden of Eve is a green organic hand crafting company producing products that are inspired by a heartfelt desire to produce quality products that are not at all harmful to people and our planet. They go the extra step to ensure the superior quality of each ingredient and the perfection of each finished product. Personal contact with the producer of a product today is only experienced with a small hand crafting company such as Garden of Eve skin care. This interaction creates a personally satisfying experience for both the consumer and the producer resulting in the customers feeling that they are being cared for as individuals.
