CONSEQUENCES OF NON USING
GREEN PRODUCTS

2. GREEN PRODUCTS
The term is used to describe a product that meets one of these criteria.
1.It has qualities that will protect the environment.
2.It has replaced artificial ingredients with natural ingredients.
For example, a cleaning product may be considered green for two
distinct reasons.
It may be manufactured without phosphates in order to reduce a source
of pollution in the water supply, which makes it better for the
environment than a cleaner that contains phosphates.
Or it may contain ingredients derived from natural sources to lower the
risk of health problems that can be caused by exposing the skin to
artificial dyes or fragrances.

3. ECO-FRIENDLY PRODUCTS
The word eco-friendly means products that do not harm
the earth or environment. These products, also called
sustainable products, provide benefits for the people
economically, socially, environmentally, while preserving
the public health. These products are environmentally
safe from its extraction of raw materials to production,
consumption and disposal.

4. REASONS FOR USING GREEN PRODUCTS
Swapping to environmentally safe, green products
in really simple for any individual who wishes to
contribute to the sustainability of environment and
do their share of the sustainability of the
environment. By using more environmentally safe
products, we reduce pollution and contamination
of the natural resources such as the air, water, and
soil.

5. ECO-FRIENDLY PRODUCTS
House warming
Using wood logs instead of electricity or natural gas
is the greenest way to keep your house warm. The
burning wood emits environmentally safe carbon
dioxide, which is equal to the oxygen the plant
produce and converts to oxygen, so it doesn’t really
leave any carbon foot prints. To install a log burner in
our home, you need a place where you can set it up
with a chimney attached to it.

6. House cleaning products
The conventional cleaning products in the market contain
several toxic chemicals and may be harmful for the
environment. Even though they make our house grime
free and sparkling clean, they release harmful compounds
and solvents into the atmosphere whenever they are
used, and therefore, they are not good for your health.
products that contain natural ingredients such as Baking
soda, Beeswax, Vinegar, Olive Oil,
and products labelled
“no phosphates or solvents.”
There are a number of cleaning
products available in the market
today labelled eco-friendly.

7.  kitchen & dining
Your kitchen is one place where natural and green products
can really make a difference for your family’s health.
Conventional kitchen products contain dangerous plastics
and toxic or non-sustainable ingredients. It’s easy to stock
your kitchen with natural cleaning supplies, non-toxic
accessories, and reusable and recycled products that reduce
waste and promote sustainability. Using sustainable, natural
materials and reducing waste is not only good for the
environment; it’s also a sound way to save money and
improve your family’s health.

8.  Green vehicle
A green vehicle or environmentally friendly vehicle is a road
motor vehicle that produces less harmful impacts to the
environment than comparable conventional internal combustion
engine vehicles running on gasoline or diesel
Green vehicles can be powered by alternative fuels and advanced
vehicle technologies and include hybrid electric vehicles, plug-in
hybrid electric vehicles, battery electric vehicles, compressed-air
vehicles, hydrogen and fuel-cell vehicles, neat ethanol vehicles,
flexible-fuel vehicles, natural gas vehicles, clean diesel vehicles,
and some sources also include vehicles using blends of biodiesel
and ethanol fuel or gasohol

10. THE BENEFITS OF ECO-FRIENDLY PRODUCTS
Eco-friendly products are not only safe for the environment, but they also
help keeping your family protected from being exposed to any toxic
chemicals. Most standard-quality products nowadays contain the use of
harmful substances to a certain degree, which may potentially lead to
cancer or other serious health problems. Off course, recognizing eco-
friendly products that are truly as safe for the environment as they claim to
be is not always easy, unless you know exactly what you are looking for.
Another aspect that goes into making eco-friendly
products is complete respect for the environment. This
means that if the product is made from trees, then those
trees must come from a sustainable forest. A sustainable
forest is one where trees are regularly replanted and
cultivated before any of them are cut down. It’s a smart
way to ensure that this renewable resource is continually
brought back and never wiped out completely.

11. Eco-friendly products also strive to minimize the use of any potential
toxins or harmful chemicals in their production, if needed. In the
case of cleaners, this is as simple as replacing chemicals with greener
ingredients. However, it becomes trickier when we talk about some
other types of eco-friendly products. For example, building
contractors who decide to seek out eco-friendly products and
materials must choose those which were assembled with toxin-free
adhesives. This seemingly small effort ensures that you don’t breathe
these harmful adhesives when the materials are used to build your
home.
More and more people these days are looking for eco-friendly
products and/or their relevant substitutes for their homes because
they want to keep their families safe. Eco-friendly products mean
much more than just saving the environment and protecting the
planet, they ensure that our future is secure in both the fate of our
families and in the health and safety of our children.

12. CONSEQUENCES OF NON USING GREEN PRODUCTS
Environmental Issues
The first concerns facing those living in the world today are major environmental ones. Toxins
have leached out of industry facilities and factories into water supplies such as streams, rivers
and into the world's oceans. Marine and aquatic life have suffered as a result of these poisonous
chemicals contaminating ocean beds, wetlands and marshlands. Once a healthy food source,
seafood and fresh water fish are often dangerous to eat due to mercury and other harmful and
deadly chemicals found in randomly tested fish and seafood.
Pesticides
Associated health issues include consuming contaminated fish and seafood as well as other
animal life, vegetables and fruits with pesticides. The harsh pesticides used to control and kill
insects on vegetables and fruit have long-lasting detrimental effects on humans, especially
growing children. Studies have shown that much of the residue of these pesticides continue past
the other skin of these foodstuffs and lodge in the inner fruit that's consumed by humans. The
legal allowance of pesticides used in the growing of foods is still considered to be "safe" for
human consumption.

13. Industrial Growth and Pollution
Air pollution is still a significant problem even with emissions control and
factory burning regulations. Rain runoff from urban communities and cities
still poses great environmental pollution threats. Recycling can play a
significant role in preventing these forms of pollution. For example,
fertilizers used for lawns and agriculture are one of the leading cause of rain
runoff pollution. By simply reducing fertilizer use by adopting more organic
gardening practices, you can reduce this type of pollution.
Paradox
When DDT was banned in the United States, the surplus was sold to countries
in South America for use in the production of banana crops, which were then
sold back to American grocery stores. DDT is still being used in developing
countries and more industrialized countries like China. This two-edged sword
is present not just in foodstuff, but clothing, cosmetics, medicines, toys and
many other products that you purchase and bring into your home.

14. WHAT YOU CAN DO
