8. Why Green Matters Households account for 38% of carbon emissions. As we live and work, we consume energy and resources (food, water, minerals), and produce massive amounts of waste. We have to spend energy to deal with the waste.

9. Why Green Matters World Population Growth 1959 – 3 billion people 2009 – 6.5 billion 2025 – 8.5 billion 2050 – 9.5 billion To sustain a projected world population of 9.5 billion people while raising the standard of living everywhere, we will need to consume twice as much energy and water as we do today.

10. Why Green Matters Our environment directly affects our health: We all need clean, abundant water to survive. Environmental changes contribute to increased instances of cancer, respiratory diseases, asthma, allergies, learning disabilities, autism, and mosquito-borne diseases like malaria and West Nile.

11. “ We plant the seeds that one day will grow. We water seeds already planted, knowing that they hold future promise. We lay foundations that will need further development… It may be incomplete, but it is a beginning, a step along the way.” (Ken Untener)

16. Reducing: Waste Of useable product, “fully 80% is discarded after one use and 99% becomes waste within six weeks of its purchase by consumers.” (Daniel Sitarz, Greening Your Business)

17. Raising Green Kids Reducing: Waste According to the U.S. EPA, food waste is the #1 least recycled material. Food and paper are the two largest components in landfills, accounting for nearly 50% of all municipal solid waste. There is more food and paper in landfills than diapers, Styrofoam, and tires—all combined.

18. Raising Green Kids Reducing: Food Waste Plan ahead. Prepare and serve the right amount of food for the number of people eating. Take only what you can eat (you can always take a second helping). Eat leftovers! Buy local. Buy organic. Use the disposal sparingly. Use an indoor or outdoor composter.

19. Reducing: Food Waste Composting has come a long way, and it provides incredibly rich material to add to your garden. Composting has evolved from the chicken-wire wrapped pile of leaves in the back yard to under-the-sink, odor-free, worm-free models that can become a learning tool (and a fun responsibility) for children. Outdoor models, have also become much easier to use.

20. Reducing: Bottles and Cans Make Your Own Soda or Sparking Water! Use our specialty seltzer maker with replaceable CO2 capsules to make sparkling water, flavored sparkling water, and homemade sodas. This product reduces bottled water container waste, and reduces the carbon footprint of transporting water across the country or from abroad…and saves 100s of dollars each year.

22. Create a safe, allergen-free home by limiting your family’s exposure to 100s of dangerous chemicals that can contribute to allergies, skin sensitivities, and headaches. Reducing: Exposure to Toxins

23. Improve Indoor Air Quality Open windows and allow fresh air to circulate. Fill your home with plants. Change your furnace and air conditioner filter seasonally. Clean the air in your home with a high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter that removes at least 99.97% of airborne particles. Reducing: Exposure to Toxins

24. Cleaning Products Look for products containing plant- and vegetable-based ingredients, like Green Irene’s brand of cleaners. Use cleaning supplies that are free of phosphates, ammonia, butyl ethers, chlorine bleach, colorings or dyes, and synthetic fragrances. Be sure to use 100% biodegradable products. Use essential oils for fragrance. Reducing: Exposure to Toxins

25. Water Filters For countertops: Use a premium 10-stage filtration system to remove chemicals and contaminants. It’s more cost-effective and eliminates more toxins than other name brand filters. For bathtubs and showers: Remove chlorine and other chemicals that can irritate the skin. Reducing: Exposure to Toxins

26. Look for reusable options to wasteful items like paper towels and napkins. Replace products that can only be used once, like batteries, with reusable options. Reusing Each of these Twist sponges can be used in place of 17 paper towel rolls. Just rinse and reuse!

27. Reusing Consider packing lunch in a reusable tote. You’ll save money, calories, and packaging waste! Stop buying bottled water. Keep your stainless-steel refillable bottle handy.

28. Reusing Tote Bags Reusable tote bags are not just for the grocery store! Keep a few of these eco-totes in your car or your purse, just in case.
