"Big Box" Retail Clothing Stores
Price:

Most retail stores garmets are not produced in a fair trade manner & equally important, most of the materials used are toxic to the earth.
Interesting Fact....
The textile industry as a whole creates numerous negative impacts on the environment. One example is the process of dyeing and printing; this can release toxins into the air that are particularly harmful to human health, while also consuming vast quantities of water and chemicals. Cheap, easy-care and man-made fibres such as polyester, elastane and lycra are hard to recycle, with nylon taking 30 to 40 years to decompose! |

Polycarbonate Plastic Water Bottles
Price:

Studies have shown that many plastic water bottles, contain the chemical, bisphenol A (BPA).
BPA has been linked to adverse health effects in rodents, including obesity, cancer and insulin resistance. And there is growing concern that exposure to BPA — which is also present in the lining of food tins, and hard plastic children's cups — even in low levels, may cause similar adverse effects in humans. |
