Did you know that specific kinds of sun lotion can cause death to coral reefs?
No? You didn't know that? Check out the list below to figure out what's good for you to use and does not harm the environment and natural habitats of our beautiful blue planet.
Well, that chemicals of fertilizer find their way from fields to the ocean is sort of known. Other things that are simple, and we use daily find more and more the way to parts of the world that we never would have thought about.
Circle of an eco-system.
Our generation was brainwashed to be lazy, to do things the easy way and not the right way. - Amir Zakeri
GET RID OF ALL THAT CHEMICALS IN YOUR HOUSEHOLD
You heard right, chemicals that are supposed to clean your dishes, hand sanitizers that kill bacteria to 99%, not only the bad ones - think about it, the good ones as well, are causing a lot of problems. You wash your clothes and where does the dirty, shampooed water go? Yes, into our sewer. Lots of water won't be cleaned the right way and is just let out in our rivers that will be polluted more and more. And hey, do you know about the ends of rivers? You are absolutely right, they end in the oceans and from there it destroys one of the most vulnerable ecosystems that we have.
Others are hand and body lotions that may smell well and feel good on your skin, but did you ever put every to read the ingredients and check them whether they are really that good? Often you not only harm the environment, but yourself as well. Shower gel, and cremes with peeling have often micro plastics in it, so no good for no one.
Oh, hey! Another one is tooth paste which makes your teeth clean and white. Some are so hot that you burn your mouth, others super sweet. No matter what you prefer, there is some bad mojo in it. Not all, but a lot.
Only a few ingredients to mention that are not good at all, but find their ways too often into products are the following: Paraben, pthalates, sodium lauryl sulfate, dyes, and artificial fragrances.
Btw. don't wonder when it's time that our planet turns on you, just because you have been too selfish and didn't care at all. Just sayin.
