Lipstick.Given than the average woman may inadvertently ingest mora than 4 punds of lipstick in her lifetime, you´ll want to look for lip color made from plant-derived ingredients instead of from synthetic oils, paraffin waxes, and toxic coal tar dyes (look for FD&C or D&C followed by a color and number).... If one in five lipstick wearers began demanding plant-based options, total petroleum product consumption would decrease by more than 825,000 pounds per year.
Pet beds. The next time your canine or feline friend needs a new bed, look for one that is filled with recycled fiber. If one in every 20 dog owners purchased a bed made from recycled materials, the fiber savings would total nearly 3,200 tons and fill 400 grabage trucks.
FISH TANKS. When you clean your fish tank, remove only one-third to one half of the water and use it as a nutrient-rich solution for house and outdoor plants. You´ll conserve water and eliminate the need for chemical fertilizers. If every fish owner adopted this habit, the freshwater saved annually would ...be enough to fill 24 ounce bottles for each of the 1.2 billion people in the world without access to safe drinking water.
