Quote:  The human race is knowingly destroying the environment.  We pretend there is nothing we can do about it, and that makes us all idiots.  I am not going to make this a “green” point, so calm down.  But couldn’t we just recycle as a bare-minimum effort to help the planet out a bit? Larry Winget, New York Times Bestselling Author, People Are Idiots and I Can Prove It!

If you need the reasons to recycle, below are 10 of them.  At this point, I’d like to say we are too smart not to recycle.  You can reduce so much of your garbage, thus impact on landfills….(it’s a serious issue, Google it), by recycling.  You can call whomever picks up your trash and ask them for a recycling bin.  You’re throwing the garbage away and taking it to the curb anyway, it’s really just a matter of sorting.  But if you need further convincing, see if one of these 10 reasons to recycle move you. 

1. Good For Our Economy
American companies rely on recycling programs to provide the raw materials they need to make new products.

2. Creates Jobs
Recycling in the U.S. is a $236 billion a year industry. More than 56,000 recycling and reuse enterprises employ 1.1 million workers nationwide.

3. Reduces Waste
The average American discards seven and a half pounds of garbage every day. Most of this garbage goes into to landfills, where it’s compacted and buried.

4. Good For The Environment
Recycling requires far less energy, uses fewer natural resources, and keeps waste from piling up in landfills.

5. Saves Energy
Recycling offers significant energy savings over manufacturing with virgin materials. (Manufacturing with recycled aluminum cans uses 95% less energy.)

6. Preserves Landfill Space
No one wants to live next door to a landfill. Recycling preserves existing landfill space.

7. Prevents Global Warming
In 2000, recycling of solid waste prevented the release of 32.9 million metric tons of carbon equivalent (MMTCE, the unit of measure for greenhouse gases) into the air.

8. Reduces Water Pollution
Making goods from recycled materials generates far less water pollution than manufacturing from virgin materials.

9. Protects Wildlife
Using recycled materials reduces the need to damage forests, wetlands, rivers and other places essential to wildlife.

10. Creates New Demand
Recycling and buying recycled products creates demand for more recycled products, decreasing waste and helping our economy.2.5.

  It’s no surprise that we’re all about the Green.  Supernatural Botanicals is proud to be a pioneer company utilizing a Green approach to skincare.  Our Green principals go far beyond all-natural and eco-friendly skincare products.  We also exercise a Green approach in our lab as well, from recycling, printing, using cleaning products that are not harmful to our environment, proper lighting, weather-proofing, packaging, etc.

Being Green means being cognizant, being in the moment, being accountable, and being responsible.  Pick one simple thing, such as using compact fluorescent light bulbs (sold everywhere), to start your own personal Green journey.

It’s only a matter of time before the planet punks us (for lack of a better word) into being more eco-friendly.  So lets beat it to the punch and show the planet that we are appreciative and worthy of it.

If you want to understand what global warming is all about, you must watch Al Gore’s An Inconvenient Truth.   This eye-opening piece shows you, in no uncertain terms, exactly what is happening to our planet right in front of our eyes.  It’s informative, enlightening, and terrifying at the same time.  It’s your responsibility as a human being to be educated about what we are doing to the planet.  It’s your responsibility to your children and the children that will inherit this planet one day.  Borrow An Inconvenient Truth from your library or have Netflix deliver it to your door…whatever it takes.    Please visit www.ClimateCrisis.net to find out more.
