Helping you to live a "greener" healthier life!                                                                               

January 2010

Happy New Year!

Not only is it a new year, but we are also entering into a new decade. We live in an era of sustainability and energy conservation. It is important how we use energy and how we treat the environment, so that our children and grandchildren will also have a wonderful world to grow up and live in.

What is Sustainability?

Doing some research online I found some definitions of "sustainability":

• SBIC defines Sustainability as a mode of thinking and acting responsibly. ( http://www.sbicouncil.org)
• From Wikepedia: Sustainability, in a broad sense, is the capacity to endure. For humans it is the potential for long-term maintenance of wellbeing, which in turn depends on the wellbeing of the natural world and the responsible use of natural resources.
• Meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.
  www.afsc.org/TradeMatters/ht/d/sp/i/13425/pid/13425
• Sustainability is all about preserving the world's natural resources for future generations. A fully sustainable industry would be one that has zero impact, or a positive impact on the environment.
  www.myecostore.co.uk/html/ecoglossary.html
• The ability to keep in existence or maintain. A sustainable ecosystem is one that can be maintained.
  www.pde.state.pa.us/a_and_t/lib/a_and_t/Science_Glossary.doc
• sustainable - An ecosystem condition in which biodiversity, renewability, and resource productivity are maintained over time.

As we look at products used in our lives, are they benefitting or destroying the evironment. Is it a reusable or throw away product? Is there a better "greener" product?

In Sweden where the concept of sustainability began, industries are built in clusters where the by products or waste from one manufacturer is being used by another manufacturer in their manufacturing process. Parking lots are made from pavers instead of solid concrete, thereby eliminating or greatly reducing run off. Rain gardens are being promoted to help with runoff as well.

Collecting rain water for watering of plants, is sustainability and good conservation. Planting of drought tolerant plants also helps to conserve water in drought stricken areas.

Looking at how we use products in our homes and offices can help us be more "sustainable". Reuse and Recycle is a sustainable concept. Products that are durable and reusable are an important part of sustainability. Using washable/reusable products instead of throw aways - like paper toweling, can and will help you reach sustainable goals.

Little positive sustainable changes over time can have a long term effect. If you used one paper towel less a day, in a year that would save 365 paper towels. If you have 4 members in your family and you all used one less, that would be 1460 fewer paper towels used and thrown away.

If 5 families with each having 4 members, saved one paper towel each a day, that would save 7300 paper towels in a year. By replacing paper towel use with microfiber/cloth hand towels and/or dish cloths, you would be helping to promote sustainablilty. Every time you replace a throw away product with a reusable product you are helping to promote sustainability.

I thank everyone who are doing their part in helping to save our environment for the next generations. Microfiber helps you to clean smarter, faster and more sustainable. Using microfiber bath products helps to reduce energy consumption - thereby preserving our oil and gas reserves.
