Eco-Friendly Apathy

I’ve noticed over the last several years that the number of “Eco-friendly” products, businesses, websites, TV shows, etc., has gone through the roof.  Unfortunately, in my humble opinion, this isn’t due to an actual increase in eco awareness; it’s due to the huge number of dollars being spent on “Eco” products.  Now that almost everything in our lives has a “green”, “eco-friendly”, “sustainable”, or “made from recycled products” label, I’ve noticed that people are growing increasingly apathetic to the Eco movement.

Without a little leg work it’s not easy to see who is really working to help the environment and who is slapping a “green product” tag on their packaging to joint the crowd shoving their hands in consumers Eco pockets.

Remember, just because a product is made of recycled materials doesn’t mean they aren’t also dumping tons of chemicals into a local water supplies or outsourcing parts from someone who does.

Don’t let the apathy get to you too, take a moment to look past the labels and see what products are really doing their part to clean up the earth for future generations.
