Eco Friendly Products 101

erik k asked:


This is not a question. I’m just letting all you greenies out there to know that leather is very bad for the environment. Cattle as you may know emit methane, which is like over 20 times more toxic than carbon dioxide. Millions of tons of grain are fed to cattle. Pesticides are constantly sprayed on crops to feed the cows. And transport trucks for transporting the food and the cows themselves to slaughterhouses are big polluters. Also pesticides are constantly tested on animals (rats, rabbits, dogs, fish, and more) every day. As more animals die, the laboratory people order more animals, which causes pollution. If any of you own a hyrid or any car or piece of clothing in general that is made of leather, please think about the animals and the environment. Fabric is 100% more eco-friendly than leather and billions of gallons of water would be saved if “green” people or people in general switched to buying products other than leather and fur. Thank you.
Also, if you buy leather or fur, you are encouraging the company to order more leather and fur. More animals would be killed and methane emited and so on. Don’t buy them, please!

I am looking for eco-friendly makeup that is good. Like, really good. I want it to be green (no, not the color) but not have sacrificed how well it actually works. Not brands, but specific products would be helpful. When I say eco-friendly, I don’t mean the ones that say they’re eco-friendly, natural, etc. The real deal people. Like, high concentrations of plant-based and naturally-derived ingredients, and fewer to no parabens, sodium lauryl sulfate, phthalates, petrochemicals, and synthetic fragrances or dyes would be fabulous.

My inspiration? It’s earth day people!!

Oh, and money isn’t really an issue. I know this stuff can be expensive.

Thanksamuch!
