ORGANIC LIVING STARTS IN YOUR HOME What does organic living actually mean? Yes, it does mean trying to eat as many organic foods as possible, but it also means a lot more. Organic living also applies to trying to live your life with as few toxins and other pollutants as possible. This means both inside and outside of your home. Obviously you only have control over so much. Some easy ways that you can include organic living into your lifestyle is to choose products with as few chemicals in them as possible. Trying to purchase ‘Green’ or ‘Eco’ labelled products is a really good start. When decorating your home you can choose paints that have fewer chemicals in them. The same goes for purchasing new drapes or blinds for your home. Try to buy those that are made from natural products and with as few chemicals as possible. A good flooring alternative for your home is Bamboo flooring. This is extremely environmentally friendly and gives your home a warm and natural look.
When it comes to purchasing skin care products for your family you can make wise choices here too. Look for products which contain organic and natural ingredients. This could include products made with lavender oil, aloe vera, tea tree oil and even a variety of natural products like apples, coconut and lemon. Cleaning products have tons of chemicals and other harmful ingredients in them. This is one area where you can make a huge impact on your environment. Not using bleach for instance will make a big difference, especially if you live out in the country and have your own septic system.
