In today's world "green" thinking has become quite the topic of conversation despite the global economic downfalls we are all faced with. People want quality products and don't mind paying for them if they can use less and benefit their health at the same time. Consumers are really starting to look at the ingredients in all their consumer goods from shampoo to cereal. We are becoming more educated that the toxic chemicals found in everyday products are of extreme danger to our health. It is refreshing to see that there are many companies that are coming on board with more "natural" versions of consumer goods. Just look at the shelves of your local drugstore and you will find more and more products using natural ingredients and taking out the harmful chemicals. Our skin is the largest organ that we have and anything we put on our skin goes directly into our system.
We recently did a comparison of organic herbal extracts and conventional herbal extracts. The organic herbal extracts are by far superior because they are manufactured in a certified facility using only organically cultivated herbs and carriers. What this means is that they are gmo free, there are no synthetic pesticides, herbicides or growth regulators used and they cannot be adulterated in any way. These extracts are used in many types of products including nutritional supplements, foods and cosmetics.
Organic farming encourages wildlife. Studies show that there are 44% more birds living on organic farms than on conventional. The soil is of the best quality with interesting irrigation systems but never the use of "sewer sludge". Organic farming promotes a healthy earth, environment and water supply for us and future generations to come. If we all do our part we can truly make a healthy impact for our planet.
