Free Home Assessment Tool ..

Check out this amazing FREE Assessment tool to find out areas of your home & lifestyle that you can change (without costing you a penny) to immediately start saving money and reducing your carbon footprint.  We were fascinated to discover that we (at no cost) could take 40 simple household actions which would save us over $1500 per year and thousands of pounds in reduced carbon outputs.  We also found another 30 actions (which would cost us a minimal amount of money, but would save us another $5,000+ per year). I challenge you to all try it out (the online questionaire is FREE and will only take you around 15 minutes to fill in - you are not required to put in any personal details).  Click on the image below to be directed to the website.

These Lunch Boxes are safe, cost effective, time-saving and very Eco-friendly.
They're BPA-free, SAFE and environmentally friendly, too! You'll find it easy to 'go green' by using EasyLunchboxes for a waste-free lunch. In our home, we keep a few sets of Easy Lunch Boxes. This way, we can pack lunches for the family in one set of containers, while the other lunchboxes are in the dishwasher! Easy! No more messy (and environmentally unfriendly) plastic bags, or ziploc baggies which are good only for a single use. The best lunchboxes accommodate different types of food, and the three compartment plastic food containers can hold a sandwich and two side dishes. Now, if you have 4 kids like we do, you’ll appreciate that there are only 8 pieces in your dishwasher every night instead of the 24 different plastic bottoms and lids you’d have to use if you were to pack the same lunches! What a timesaver, now that you won’t have to dry and put away all those mismatched food container pieces! - a pack of 4 will cost you less than $15.00!! Amazing value ..
and FYI - The average school lunch generates 67 pounds of waste during one school year (EPA.gov).If 15,000 families commit to packing waste-free lunches, one million pounds of waste can be eliminated from our landfills.

With today’s advanced technologies and the convenience of the internet, it is no surprise that anyone can go online and visit one of the many different websites that provide their own carbon footprint calculator. A carbon footprint calculator will not only estimate your carbon footprint, but some will also list ways to reduce your impact. Since global warming and climate chance are becoming bigger threats to us here on planet Earth everyday, it is important for everyone to be aware of their carbon footprint.

Your carbon footprint is the amount of greenhouse gases you create by doing certain actions. For example, driving a car will produce carbon dioxide which is a greenhouse gas. If you are controlling the temperature of your home with any of the commonly used fossil fuels, that will produce carbon dioxide as well which will add to your carbon footprint.

Facts
The products which are used everyday are loaded with chemicals. Chemicals which are known to cause hormonal, endocrine & thyroid disruptions along with many other diseases including cancer.

Babies are born with over 280 chemicals in their cord blood. The average woman comes into contact with more than 200+ chemicals BEFORE she leaves the house in the morning.

Europe has a list of over 1100 chemicals which they PROHIBIT in their products. The USA has only 9. The American personal-care manufacturers are required to "clean-up" their products which they export to Europe. Yet, those same manufacturers leave those chemicals in the products which they distribute to YOU.

Skin is highly absorbant transferring toxins directly into your bloodstream, which can be more harmful to the body than ingesting them. Think of why they use transdermal patches.
