Green Living Stores

Green Living is the sourcing products and services that contribute to the health of our selves and our personal spaces. This creation of health in turn creates environmental and physical health for our selves and our communities.  The services and products either can make use of materials that have been recycled or they can be created from healthy products that are non toxic and / or biodegradable.  Careful choosing of what we consume in turn reduces toxins caused by the products and services we use and creates a Green Living environment that increases our quality of living.  Quality of living is the end game for all our Green Living choices.  Simple daily choices such as what clothing we decide to wear (www.NaturalOrganicClothes.com), what we decide to eat or how we build our homes.  The end result of living in an eco friendly manner is that we gain personally and become social stewards of the world community resources.

   Green Living is being responsible in all areas of our lives. I volunteer with a Humane Society. The pet overpopulation problem is staggering. And the solution is so simple. Spay and neuter. When one female dog can give birth to over a dozen puppies three-four times a year, and a cat can have seven or eight (there are known instances where a cat was pregnant with an even dozen), even if only half of them live, the resulting number of offspring is unbelievable. All these puppies and kittens, for the most part unwanted, have an impact in our world: killing of wildlife, fecal matter, disease. Then consider the suffering of the kittens dying of disease, starvation, predators, hit by cars. Then there is the link with animal abuse to human violence. When we put no value on something (such as unwanted puppies and kittens), we give the message it is okay to abuse them.

   Again, the solution is so simple — spay and neuter, stop the unwanted puppies and kittens.

   Be responsible! This is one problem that is actually solveable. In a year, if everyone in a neighborhood, a town, a county CHOOSE to be responsible, there wouldn’t be any unwanted animals in your area. Perhaps everyone on your block, in your neighborhood, could go together, and everyone donate a little bit, and spay the neighborhood stray, or help the elderly lady on very limited income get her companion animal altered.

   See what spay/neuter your local Rescue groups and Humane Socities offer. If they don’t offer any, talk to them about the need in your area. With everyone working together — we can make it a Humane and Green Country!

   Again, this is a problem with a proven solution.
