Why Change?

Many people have no idea how toxic products effect their daily lives because they do not experience immediate effects. Most Americans have experienced some kind of loss due to cancer in themselves or a close family member yet many still do not eliminate or correct the cause. Harmful toxins are being found in our water, food, cosmetics, clothes, air and medicines but we continue to pay major companies for more toxic products because we have become familiar with them. For example, social media has been highlighting the water crisis in Flint, Michigan but most major cities have lead, arsenic, and other heavy metals in their tap water. We have been convinced by advertisements to believe that bottled water is better but scientific analysis of the water reveals that water bottling companies are filling their bottles with city tap water. Even expensive water bottling companies, like Fiji, are taking advantage of its consumers. Fiji is known for shipping out high-priced bottled water from China but the Fiji water plant contains faulty equipment which puts the citizens and consumers at risk for diseases like Typhoid. We may not be able to eliminate all of the chemicals in our environment but our health will benefit greatly from small changes implemented into our daily lives. Try filtering your tap water or using well water instead.
