Description:
All Green Things offers an Eco friendly selection of green products for green living. We aspire to encourage a more thoughtful purchasing process that focuses on local economies, fair practices, reusable or sustainable materials, and less consumption tied to ever changing trends. We are a boutique, an on-line Green Lifestyle store and educational resource that provides users with a comprehensive source of facts to live a greener lifestyle. | | Did You Know:
Plastic is over-running our planet. Estimates run as high as one million pieces of plastic per square kilometer (0.6 mile) floating in specific areas of the Pacific Ocean. But plastic bags are so convenient! It depends on how far you are looking. A plastic bag may be convenient for a minute or two when you carry something out of the store, but for the rest of the life of the bag (which is forever) it is not just inconvenient, it is ugly, toxic, and life-threatening. There are alternatives to plastic bags, many of which were used by our parents and grandparents quite handily. Two large canvas bags of premium quality cost about $30, and should last about 10 years. If plastic bag fees, under consideration in some California communities, are instituted at a conservative 15 cents/bag, a family switching from four plastic shopping bags per week will recover its purchase cost in the first year. In the nine years following, an additional $30 per year would be saved. |
