Environmental Responsibility and Natural Living
What images do these words bring to mind as you say them? Whew- that sounds like a pretty big job for someone doesn’t it? Responsible for the environment- I don’t know about you but originally thinking about being responsible for the earth sent me straight to my hidden stash of Ben and Jerry’s while I contemplated how I could possibly take on such a ginormous task,
The truth of the matter is simply this – amazing how a pint of Cherry Garcia can bring everything back in to perspective – you can have an impact on the environment. It’s like Mom always told me, every choice has a consequence, and you decide whether it’s positive or negative. On the positive side, there are small choices you can make today that will allow you, your family and community to breathe and eat a little better now and into the future.
As I develop these pages and place my thoughts out there for your consumption – less calories than Ben and Jerry’s too! – I’ll share with you some tips and tricks for greening your home and environment just a wee bit at a time. Mama didn’t make you run before you crawled and I promise- I won’t either.
Take a peek at some of the Watkins products I offer. This company has been doing natural since 1868 so they know a thing or two about the tried and true. If you love the products- find out how you can buy them at the same discount I do and maybe make your wallet a little greener in the process.

Dispose of filthy Cleaning Products!
The average family will spend $600 replacing their cleaning products this year alone. Why not replace them with Watkins Natural Home Care products, they are healthier for loved ones and the planet. And, with families replacing products every single week and using roughly 40 lbs. of cleaning agents a year, you can see how simply replacing harsh cleaners with environmentally friendly products could really make a positive impact on the earth! -
Wash your Hands!
Clean up your hands without exposing yourself or family to harsh chemicals. The common ingredient in antibacterial soaps is Triclosan — believed to take the form of Dioxin when it mixes with plain old tap water. Not only that, this harsh chemical has been linked with drug resistant bacteria and weakened immune systems in humans. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control found there is no benefit to using antibacterial hand soaps over the old stand-by — soap and water. -
Watkins Natural Liquid Hand Soaps clean your hands — naturally — while they refresh your spirit with the scents of Lavender, Aloe & Green Tea, and Lemon. And get this, they are Triclosan free!
Laundry Day!
Pick one day of the week to do your laundry. This one simple decision will not only save you money on your utility bill, it will help conserve energy by taking advantage of residual heat from your dryer. You can further your eco-friendly actions by washing your clothes in cold water and use Watkins Lemon Liquid Laundry Concentrate Soap. Because it takes only 1 oz. per load, we are able to reduce the packaging to half the size of a standard 100 oz. bottle — less waste and less impact on the environment! Not only that, it doesn't contain phosphates, like other laundry detergents, that can't be removed from water sources with current waste water treatments and end up in fresh water areas.
