Since 1864,Why Using Eco-Friendly Products Make Sense Articles when Henry David Thoreau wrote Maine Woods, and drew attention to the loss of the great virgin forest of our North Country, and asked for conservation measures to preserve them; the American public has been aware of the serious danger our environment is in.
Using green products has become the current "in" thing for modern America. The healthier living choices of buying chemical free products, biodegradable products, and recycled products for our homes and businesses means a cleaner environment, and a healthier living and working environment, as well. Making a choice to be environmentally conscious in our purchases of exceptional green products means more people are doing something to save the natural resources of our planet for future generations.

Why should we care if the items we buy are biodegradable and chemical free? Because of the amount of trash that stays in our landfills for generations, and slowly poisons our sources of ground water and our soils. It will take hundreds of years for the plastic bottles, and plastic forks we used at our last picnic to decompose. Mountains of diapers, paper towels, and tissues are dumped into American landfills each and every day.  The national statistics state that only 7 percent of the plastics used in this country are recycled, which means 93% ends up in landfills across America.
There are hundreds of green products available online from reputable companies who care as much about the environment as you do. These products are designed and manufactured using methods, and ingredients which are safe for use in the home, and help remove toxins and chemicals from the environment, by not contributing to their levels.

Cleaning products that get the job done, using eco-friendly ingredients are the best way to clean your homes and businesses. The product containers are created using recycled products, and these cut down on the amount of trash in our landfills dramatically. There are products which have always been manufactured from cut lumber, and now they are made Tree-Free. The impact this can have on our environment is astonishing. Leaving trees to grow and mature and perform their duties as natural cleansers of the environment.

The newest creations of decomposable green products, like the normal items we use for BBQ's and Holidays, can be completely decomposed in eighteen months instead of years. All of our paper disposable products can be manufactured from renewable resources which do not impact our environment; bamboo, cornstarch, and sugarcane have all been used successfully to create the daily paper products we throw away by the tons.
Every green product you choose to purchase can save the environment one tree and one tissue at a time.
