Education, an On-Going Process

What do you think of when you hear the word “Education”? Most people think of Grammar School, Junior High, High School, Technical School and/or Collage or even higher education. I feel that every person should make an effort to learn something new each and every day. If we learn something new each day the day was a success.

One thing that can help everyone in this ongoing learning process, regardless of age, is providing a safe toxin free environment in which to learn. It’s been shown that a good breakfast aids in the concentration and comprehension of students. With this in mind it makes sense that not just the foods we consume but all of the things we are exposed to on a daily basis will also have an effect on our ability to learn and retain the things we learn.

It’s also been shown that exposure to the harmful chemicals in the household products that most Americans use on a daily basis contributes to health problems, both physical and mental.

Consider these sobering facts:

Ø More than 7 million accidental poisonings occur each year, with more than 75% involving children under age 6!
—The Columbia University College of Physicians & Surgeons

Ø According to the U.S. Poison Control Centers, "A child is accidentally poisoned every 30 seconds at home..."

Ø The Average American Uses about 25 Gallons of toxic, hazardous chemical products per year in their home...A major portion of these can be found in household cleaning products.
—"Prosperity Without Pollution,"by Joel S. Hirschorn and Kirsten V. Oldenburg, 1991

Ø Women who work at home have a 54% higher death rate from cancer than those who work away from home. The 15-year study concluded it was as a direct result of the much higher exposure rate to toxic chemicals in common household products!
—Toronto Indoor Air Conference 1990

Ø The toxic chemicals in household cleaners are three times more likely to cause cancer than air pollution.
---Environmental Protection Agency report in 1985

Ø Cancer rates have increased since 1901 from only 1 in 8,000 Americans, to 1 in 3 today! By the year 2010, this disease will afflict 1 of every 2 individuals!
—American Cancer Society

Ø Of chemicals commonly found in homes, 150 have been linked to allergies, birth defects, cancer, and psychological abnormalities.
—Consumer Product Safety Commission

What can we do to increase our odds in this toxic world? We don’t have full control over every aspect of our lives. For example we cannot control the types of products used in public facilities, rest rooms, waiting rooms, offices etc. One thing we all have control over is the types of products we expose ourselves to in our own homes. What about the toxins we have already accumulated in our bodies?

The first thing to do is rid our homes and personal work spaces or study spaces of the dangerous products we’ve been accustomed to purchasing. The next step is to use an effective cleansing system or detoxification system; this will help to purge the harmful toxins from our bodies. One excellent “Cleanse” or “Detoxification System” is the BioCleanse System from BioGreen Systems Inc., but this will be a waste of time if we do not change the way we view the products we’ve been using. We need to detoxify and follow up with a change in habits, our buying habits.

This is where the learning something new each and every day comes into play. We need to learn to buy safer non-toxic products instead of just following the same old routine or what has become a habit. The human body and mind are amazing things and the ability to learn is limited only by our desire to learn. Use the opportunity and make the change in buying habits for yourself and your loved ones. Each and every one of us have the power and the ability to accomplish anything we set our mind too. Let’s educate ourselves in a “Greener Way of Life”. “You are the only person on earth who can use your ability.” Zig Ziglar

"Going Green" Mind, Body and Soul

As we continue to educate ourselves on the importance of “Going Green” in our homes we become more keenly aware of the reasons we need to “Go Green”. By using “Green Products” we’ve learned that we not only help create a safer home environment for ourselves and our families, we also have the opportunity to protect the environment.

Did you ever think, though, that you also need to help your body “Go Green”? When you consider this thought it’s important to remember that it’s next to impossible for any of us to avoid the toxins and pollutants in the air, water, food and soil that we are exposed to on an everyday basis. They originate in the pesticides, industrial waste, chemicals in products we use in our homes, food additives, our treated water systems, among other things that constantly surround us.

Consider the following facts:

· Many drinking water systems in the United States contain over 700 chemicals, including dangerously high levels of lead

· Municipal water systems are the repositories of millions of tons of chemicals, waste products, fertilizers, herbicides, and pesticides, much of which finds its way into our food supply.

· Approximately 3,000 chemicals are intentionally added to our food, and close to 10,000 chemicals are used in the processing and storage of food items, in the form of solvents, emulsifiers and preservatives.

· Our bodies are unable to discard these toxic compounds fast enough to maintain anything near optimal levels of health. These toxins are stored in our tissues, and the levels keep increasing.

· It’s not surprising that in 1979 the Environmental Protection Agency declared that up to 20% of all deaths in the U.S. were caused by the harmful compounds found in the air we breath, the water we drink and the food we eat.

By using “green products” in our homes we can limit unnecessary exposure to toxins. From the facts noted above, on our website Going Green 2day and information available from Parent Awareness Center, we can gain knowledge of the effect toxins have, not only on our health, but also the environment. Since some things we are exposed to are beyond our personal control, we must be diligent in our use of “Green Products” and we, also, need to detoxify our bodies and in a sense, help our bodies “Go Green”.

It’s a fact, we cannot totally avoid the health hazards in today’s world, but we can protect ourselves and our family from many of their harmful effects. BioGreen Systems, Inc. offers a wonderful product called BioCleanse System, a formula consisting of a combination of vitamins, minerals and nutritive herbs, which safely and effectively support the body’s detoxification.

A very powerful attribute of our BioCleanse System is its ability to help your body eliminate harmful toxins. Through a safe and natural process, this is an exceptional and proven method of ridding the body of heavy metal toxins such as lead, cadmium, arsenic and mercury as well as other environmental toxins at a cellular level. Years of research and testing have been invested in this product formulation creating exciting results for our customers and Associates.

“Green Parenting”: Learning to make the “Green Choice”

As parents, we know how important it is to provide our children with the very best education possible and instill in them our family priorities and values. Providing a safe home environment for our children, so they have the opportunity to learn and reach their full potential, is also very important.

It’s necessary not only to provide our children with a safe learning environment in our homes, but also a safe living environment. Interesting thought, isn’t it? With the world’s focus on protecting the environment and “Going Green”, it’s only logical that we start in our own homes. By “Going Green” in our homes we not only make our homes safer for our families, we also have an impact in preserving the environment that surrounds us. One way we can do this is by carefully choosing the products we use on a daily basis and simply switch to using safe, non-toxic, “Green Products”. Recently, I became acquainted with a very informative website that I would like to bring to everyone’s attention, http://www.parentawarenesscenter.com/. This website is dedicated to providing parents with information on how they can help keep their children safe by “Going Green”.

Here’s an excerpt from Parent Awareness Center:

How to Go Green

Good parenting begins with educating yourself so that you can make the best decisions in raising and caring for your family. Parent Awareness Center is dedicated to providing free comprehensive information on "How and Why to Go Green", eco friendly choices, health, possible health hazardous that could effect the well being of your children, parenting articles, good parenting tips, and help for the working parent. As caring parents, we do everything possible to protect our families. We always buckle them securely into car seats, make sure they eat right, schedule regular visits to the pediatrician, and insist they wear helmets and protective gear at play. What most of us don't realize is that one of the biggest threats to our children is the arsenal of toxic chemicals that we have in our homes. Going Green just makes sense!

Here are some startling statistics:

• EPA surveys find that indoor air is 3-5 times more chemically polluted than outdoor air.
• After analyzing 2,983 chemicals used in personal care products, 884 were found to be toxic. (National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health)
• According to the National Safety Council, more children under the age of four die of accidental poisonings at home than are accidentally killed with guns at home.
• Asthma is the number one cause of absentees in the schools today.(Asthma Awareness Online)
• Of chemicals commonly found in homes, 150 have been linked to allergies, birth defects, cancer, and psychological abnormalities. (Consumer Product Safety Commission)

At Parent Awareness Center you will find a wealth of information about how you can “Go Green” in your home and in the process make your home safer for your family. The information they provide shows how important it is to be aware of the potential harm the products we now may be using can have on our family’s health and the environment. Parent Awareness has the same purpose and goals as our Going Green 2Day Blog and our Going Green 2Day Website have, which is, to help everyone we can to make the “Green Choice” to use “Green Products” in their homes. By doing this we can help educate ourselves, our children, our friends and others about the importance of “Going Green” and impress upon them how easy it is to do so.

"Going Green"- Is it Just a Fad?

I have to shake my head when I hear some say, either to my face, on the Internet or in the Media that “going green” is just a fad. I don’t think they actually know what a fad is. The definition of a fad is… “Something that is very popular with a small group of people for a short period of time.”

Maybe, in the case of some of the big businesses, it is just a fad and nothing more than a marketing opportunity for them. It may be a fad for some individuals, whose only purpose for “going green” is just because everyone else is doing it. When you really look around, though, you can see there are many companies and individuals who have made “going green” an essential part of their businesses and their lives, for many years. And others, who may have just recently started “going green”, are sincerely doing everything they possibly can to fulfill their commitment to preserve the environment. So, to say “going green” is just a fad is certainly incorrect.

BioGreen Systems is one such company whose values and concerns, from their very beginning, has been to manufacture & provide high quality, non-toxic, green products. The products, from BioGreen, not only make the environment in your home safer, but through the use of them you have the opportunity to have a share in protecting the environment.

I am inclined to believe “Going Green” is a trend more so than a fad and I feel it needs to be turned into a way of life.

Is It a Case of “Greenwashing”?

With the focus of the media along with the general public on the “Green Movement” everyone is trying to get their “Piece of the Pie”. This “Green Movement” has not gone unnoticed by big business. It’s commendable to try and do our part, be it one person or a large corporation. There are companies that have been “Green” from their inception and there are also companies that are moving in that direction.
Unfortunately, we as consumers must be on the watch for “Greenwashing” by some businesses. Of course not all companies are guilty of this, but it makes a person wonder when you go into a store and see the flood of new “Green” products and right next to them is the entire line of dangerous toxic products, offered by the same companies. Are these companies genuinely trying to move toward being “Green” or are they just trying to capitalize on a situation with only monetary goals in mind, i.e. “Hey, we can make a bundle of money here if we claim to be Green”.
We as a family choose to use products from BioGreen Systems, a company that’s been “Green” from its very beginning. Whether a person decides to use BioGreen products or products from any number of other truly “Green” companies it’s important to make the move and by doing so sending a message to the companies that are guilty of “Greenwashing”.

Choose to Make a “Green” Choice!

As we all make steps towards becoming more “green”, in whatever way we choose, it’s important to keep in mind an important thought. “In any moment of decision the best thing you can do is the right thing, the next best thing is the wrong thing, and the worst thing you can do is nothing.” Theodore Roosevelt.

Think about that as you make your decisions on how you want to “go green.” Everyone will choose their own way that they want to help in preserving the environment, and no one way is the right way or wrong way, but just a different way. The most important thing we must remember is that the worst thing we can do is nothing. Since there are so many easy ways for any of us to “go green” there is no reason to not make an effort to do so.

Probably one of the simplest ways to “go green”, is to just switch your buying habits on the things that you are now already purchasing on a regular basis, at your local stores. Everyone, no matter who they are or where they live, washes their clothes, cleans their homes, takes a shower, washes their hair, and the list goes on. By starting here, in our homes, we not only help make them safer, we also have a positive impact on the environment.

No need to be concerned that “green products” are going to cost more than the products you’re now using. “Green products” are generally highly concentrated and many are mixed with water before using. (Example: BioGreen’s EcoPure, mixed 20 to 1 with water, costs just 50 cents per quart!) Since “green products” are so concentrated, they require less packaging and less fuel to ship, and as a result have less of an impact on the environment.

“Green Products” also have multiple uses, so they can tackle more cleaning tasks than traditional, non-green cleaners. So, the more jobs a cleaner can do, the fewer products you need to buy, again another way to save you money and cut waste. Check out the multiple uses for BioGreen's products at our website: Going Green 2Day.

“Going Green”…The Right Thing to Do

It seems everywhere we turn, in the media, the entertainment world and big business, we are hearing about the importance of “Going Green”. Most of us are fully aware of the importance of recycling and conserving energy as a valuable way we can help preserve the environment. We may not realize, though, that there are other, very simple ways we can have a share in protecting and preserving the environment.

Think about it…each and everyday we ALL have the opportunity to not only protect our family’s health, by the choices we make, but by making the right choices we are able to protect our environment. Remember, each and every one of us is a part of the environment, so whatever we do to the environment, we do to ourselves.

We may ask ourselves, “What can we do that will actually make a difference?” As one person or one family, we may not be able to change the world, but we can have a share in protecting and preserving our little part of the world, our homes. With the world’s focus on protecting the environment and “going green”, it’s only logical that we start in our own homes. By “going green” in our homes we not only cause our homes to be safer for our families, we also have an impact on preserving the environment that surrounds us. One way that we can do this is by carefully choosing the products we use on an everyday basis and simply switching to using safe, non-toxic, “green products”.

Because of my desire to provide a safe home for my family and protect the environment, I was very excited when I was introduced to the BioGreen Systems product line. I am proud to be a part of a company whose mission is to provide meaningful solutions to the health problems created in today's toxic environment and sharing in the preservation of the environment. BioGreen manufactures and distributes a complete line of reasonably priced, highly effective, non- toxic, “green products”. The products that are available from BioGreen Systems will replace every toxic product you now have in your home, from cleaning, to laundry and personal care products.

This blog is dedicated to providing information on how, by just making simple changes in our buying habits, we can take one step towards having a share in protecting the environment. It will also be providing information on how, if you choose, you can start earning extra money from home without spending any extra money, just by the use of these products and sharing them with others.
