Why being eco-friendly?

How being eco-friendly is actually about being egoistic? In which ways?

The three R's - reduce, reuse and recycle - all help to cut down on the amount of waste we throw away. They conserve natural resources, landfill space and energy. Plus, the three R's save land and money communities must use to dispose of waste in landfills. The three R's - reduce, reuse and recycle - all help to cut down on the amount of waste we throw away.

We lived without plastic once – we can do again

Zero Waste So what are the main concepts of zero waste? Can you produce absolutely no waste? Do you have to, to adhere to the ideas of the movement? Can picture yourself doing any of that?

Refusing plastic, poisonous chemicals from mass-market products, fast-food, excessive things in our lives, we will live longer, healthier and happier.

Self-destructing behaviour Symptoms and Habits 1.  Housing self-defeating mindsets. This is an unconscious form of self-destructive behavior because it results in self-fulfilling prophecies.  Examples include thoughts such as: “I’m going to fail, I just know it”, “I’ll never get out alive”, “This will completely destroy me”, etc. 2.  Failing to take action. This is a passive symptom, but still self-destructive in nature.  When we know something is bad for us, but fail to take any action or steps to remedy the issue, we are essentially setting ourselves up for, and guaranteeing, failure 14.  Spending too much. Whether through chronic gambling or constant eBay purchases, overspending may seem unusual to have on this list, but is nevertheless a form of self-destructive behavior that limits ones freedom and peace of mind. 15.  Physical neglect. Getting poor sleep, refusing to exercise, eating unhealthy foods, and failing to maintain the general well-being of your body are all classic signs of self-destructive behavior.

ecopandas ecopandas ‘“Just as you are what you eat, you are what see.” The word “diet”, in fact (and I only recently learned), does not just refer to what food we eat. It comes from the Greek meaning for “way of life” or how one lives his or her life. With that broadened definition the word “diet” had greater meaning as to all of the things that we absorb–food, stories, images, sounds (music)–and how they impact us.  As much as we may think that our personalities are stable, just like eating food that is bad for us can change our bodies, taking in images and stories that are unhealthy can really change how we think and behave. I should be clear that this does not mean to ignore the negative news. There are important things to learn about to help us understand what others are going through and to help fix the problems. It really means that we need a balanced visual diet—one that nourishes the soul and yet motivates us to action to make things better’ - Prof K @envisionkindness  Follow us @ecopandas for daily good news ��

Effects of Endocrine Disruptors Endocrine disruptors (which are now widespread in food, water, soil and even the air we breathe) include a long list of chemicals such as dioxins, cadmium, parabens, bisphenol A, phthalates, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), agricultural chemicals, polybrominated flame retardants, and some of the active ingredients in sunscreens. Many of these chemicals cause problems because they can mimic the action of natural estrogen. These foreign estrogens (also known as xenoestrogens) can upset normal hormonal balance, stimulate the growth and development of reproductive tumors (breast, uterine, prostate), impair fertility, and disrupt pregnancy. Worse, many can cross the placenta to affect the fetus and get into breast milk. Chemicals such as phthalates have an antiandrogenic effect, meaning they interfere with testosterone and other hormones responsible for male sex characteristics. Exposure to these agents during fetal life and early childhood can derail normal sexual development and heighten the risk for diseases that don’t become apparent until adulthood, such as cancer.

Problems with BPA (bisphenol A) One of the most troubling endocrine disruptors BPA is one of the highest volume chemicals produced worldwide, with over 6 billion pounds produced each year. BPA is found in many drinking containers, the lining of most food and beverage cans (including soda cans), bottle caps, plastic cutlery, plastic food storage containers, toys, water pipes, eyeglass lenses, and more. Polycarbonate is often blended with other plastics to create products such as mobile phone cases, car parts, electronic equipment, medical equipment, and household items. Because BPA is in printer ink, newspapers, and carbonless receipts, most recycled paper contains it, including paper towels and paper used to contain food.

BPA When was the last time you used any of these items? What were they? Can you avoid using them?
