Be a Caring Consumer

Have you ever wondered which companies test on animals and which ones don't? Well if you haven't, it's something you should look into as animal cruelty is... cruel. Luckily, I stumbled upon a site that lists a number of companies that do and do not test their products on animals. Simply download the PDF files or select a range of companies from the drop down box.

p.s. two posts in one day! I'm definitely on the ball.

Story of Stuff

Last week one of my professors showed us a clip of the Story of Stuff. It's an amazing video that sums up the impacts of producing, distributing and disposing of material things. This video also holds so much truth, in that our society has become so distracted with material things that we've forgotten the simple things that can bring so much joy and happiness (sorry for the cornfest)! So after watching this video, I hope you feel just as inspired as I am to stop consuming so much and to remember the small things in life.

I'm also very aware that my last post was about a month ago, sorry!

Green Pea

A-welcome to my blog about my transition into being more environmentally friendly! I have recently become very passionate about the environment and really want to help save it. So, this blog is a little journal about what I'm doing to reduce my impact on the earth, as well as other enviro. related topics! Hopefully you get a lot out of my blog, whether it be tips on going green or inspiration. Whatever it is, here's to helping the earth out!
