Organic Products Guide Advice

"Life's most urgent question is: What are you doing for others?"
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

Humans, by nature, are self-centered beings. That's a good thing, because we learn first how to protect our interests, second, our families', and thirdly, our friends' and communities'.

My whole purpose in writing here on Organic-Products-Guide.org is to protect our mutual interests: health and environment.

To bring you up-to-date facts about a variety of organic and non-organic topics. Offering you what I think is important information related to maintaining your health, your family's, and your environment's.

The three are and always will be intertwined. Something we are all involved with daily.

The companies and outlets--whether brick and mortar or an Internet presence--that sell you the products you use regularly have one main interest. I'm sure you already know what that interest is... Profits, profits, profits. Right?

The stock holders have vested interests, meaning they want a profit on their shares. To paraphrase Shakespeare from one of his plays: "They paid their money and they took their pick." That pick was profits.

I feel that there are things wrong with that kind of narrow-minded thought processes, though. For one, product responsibility is typically left to board or management oversight. Big mistake.

Stockholders need to start asking questions. Of their boards and of their management.

Here's a strange fact: stockholders are allowing themselves to be violated by their own companies! All the products we all use usually come from the same manufacturers, don't they?

They're getting sick from this stuff too! So why aren't they railing against this kind of irresponsibility?

Another wrong is a lack of leadership where it concerns not polluting but protecting our shared environments, indoors and outdoors. Being a corporation doesn't give them the right to endanger our health in any way.

In fact, they are obligated by law not to violate our persons, whether that be health or abiding by the simple laws of the Organic Cycle and protecting our shared environment.

How civilized we humans have become in our modernity! Right now, our civilization must pay close attention to what has been done to our lives, the lives of others and our living places...

For One, Become Educated:

Educating yourself is the primary way to defend against that particular kind of ignorance called narrow-mindedness. With information available on the Internet by the giga-buckets, you and I don't have to remain in the dark any more.

Research on any subject whatsoever and you will find more related information than you can possibly use! That is a very good thing!

My first little bit of advice to you is this: start yourself along the Organic Cycle by ridding your home and work places of commercially-made cleaning products. Find home-made solutions on the Internet.

There are thousands of home solutions out there, and most work. They find their origins with our grandparents and their grandparents, and so on. Traditions. Time-tested. Efficient and inexpensive.

And non-polluting...

Secondly, Read the Labels:

Like you do with foodstuffs for your diet. Same principals apply. You're beginning to get familiar with all the ingredients on the food label, so why not take that one step further.

Many commercially-produced soap, detergent and cleaning products have vague if not missing ingredient listings. Many manufacturers hide their true ingredients on their Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS).

MSDS are those boring techy things with numbers and chemical descriptions only an engineer could love and understand. And government citations fit for a bureaucrat...

Ingredients like "fragrance" (read about what "fragrance" really is, HERE...), and
