Think! A majority of everything we use now is made with oil, a non-renewable resource: The oil based synthetic products below, many have been shown to cause cancer and smog related to global warming, are easily replaced with natural products! Synthetic.... cleaning products, cosmetics, perfumes, insecticides, herbicides, detergents, food preservatives, paints, and clothing fabrics, deodorants, dyes, hair coloring, hand lotion, lipstick, shampoo, shaving cream, toothpaste. If we switch to natural products we can save our oil resources for what we really need long term! All of these items below are made from oil also! Anesthetics, Antihistamines, Artificial Turf, Antiseptics, Aspirin, Auto Parts, Awnings, Balloons, Ballpoint pens, Bandages, Beach Umbrellas, Boats, Cameras, Candles, Car Battery Cases, Carpets, Caulking, Combs, Computers/microchips, Cortisones, Crayons, Credit Cards, Curtains, Disposable Diapers, Dolls, Eye Glasses, Electrical Wiring Insulation, Fishing Rods, Fertilizer, Fishing Line, Fishing Lures, Food Packaging, Garden Hose, Glue, Hair Curlers, Hearing Aids, Heart Valves, Ink, Linoleum, Milk Jugs, Oil Filters, Panty Hose, Plastics, Rubber Cement, Rubbing Alcohol, Shoes, Trash Bags, Upholstery, Vitamin Capsules, Water Pipes. Based on the above
information we should be using
natural products whenever we can that are made from plants which are a
renewable resource! Plants also take in CO2 and create oxygen. Bill Moyers gives us more reason to switch to
natural products with the research done at Mt. Sinai School of Medicine
which found
his body (like ours) contained a soup of 84 industrial chemicals: 31 types
of PCBs, 13 dioxins, and pesticides like DDT.
