A Green Life is a Good Life

Do you strive for a green lifestyle? It can sometimes be a struggle to keep with the latest green trends as you live your busy life. However, you might be surprised to learn how changing small facets of your everyday life can add up to big changes for preserving the planet.

Making Your House a Green House

Thinking about ways to save the planet can sure keep you up at night. But what if the answer to going green was literally right under your pillow the whole time? It turns out that the furniture you pick for your bedroom can make a big impact.

The synthetic plastics and chemicals that go into the making of some bedroom furniture can have detrimental effects on the environment. In addition, certain paints and dyes used to add colour to furniture are also potentially toxic to
the environment. When you decorate your bedroom with sustainable green furniture, you are not only creating a healthier planet, but also a healthier home environment for you and your family.

If you are committed to decorating your home in a way that is green friendly while still beautiful, you may want to consider wooden beds. Wooden beds made of sustainable materials are a wonderful alternative to today’s highly
manufactured and processed toss away furniture. Not only are they good for the environment, but wooden beds are high quality, durable and will last a lifetime. This means a winning situation for you and for the environment.

Be a Gem to the Planet

They say that diamonds are a girl’s best friend, but a woman who wears eco-friendly jewelery is truly the planet’s best friend. Simply by purchasing handmade jewelery by local artisans, you can cut down on the pollution and toxicity
that is created by the fabrication of much of the retail world’s costume jewelery. Some shops have begun selling jewelery made from 100% post-consumer recycled materials. The market for green, eco-friendly jewelery has truly
blossomed in recent years. With such beautiful craftsmanship and artistry in such a wide scope of styles, you will never have to sacrifice style for sustainability when selecting from the amazing jewelery pieces for sale. For gift
giving, there is no better gift than giving a friend or loved one a stunning piece of jewelery that you can proudly tell them does not harm the environment.

Take a Stand for the Environment

Instead of standing around wondering how to go green, why not stand around in a lovely pair of eco-friendly shoes? That’s right, you can outfit your feet in shoes that are good for the earth. In recent years, the demand for stylish and
affordable shoes that are manufactured with natural, non-animal ingredients has rocketed. Fashion lines have responded with footwear lines featuring vegan shoes. These ethically manufactured shoes come in all the styles you
love of traditionally designed shoes. From sneakers to work attire to fun sandals, eco-friendly styles have your feet covered. If you want to start living a green life, vegan shoes are a step in the right direction.

Small changes today can have a big impact on tomorrow. By implementing small, but often overlooked, changes like the ones mentioned above you are on your way to a greener life.

    Thanks GGT! A lot of manufacturers are finding ways to make their processes greener and sustainable. With governments setting ambitious targets for waste it’s, i think, a very wise move.
