It seems that everybody is interested in the natural movement these days. The Natural movement has been described using many different buzz words like green, organic, or sustainable, but they all mean "natural." How far should we go in our efforts to be "natural?"
That is a tough question to answer. In our show, Living Natural First, we use a commonsense approach the "natural" lifestyle. In every situation, we want to consider the natural alternatives and then make logical decisions based on this information. For example, think about pesticides in and around your home. There are many different conventional chemicals to spray that will probably take care of the bugs. The one thing that we know about these chemicals is that they are extremely toxic to bugs... and to US!
Now, let's look at the natural alternative. There are several natural insect controls that are toxic to bugs... but not to US or our pets. One example of a natural insect control is diatomaceous earth (Not the same as in your pool filter). It will effectively control bugs and you don't have to worry about your kids or pets getting sick from toxic poisons. It is so safe that it is used in many food products to control bugs.
If you compare the cost of natural alternatives, there is not a big difference in price. So here is the question.
If the cost is comparable and the natural alternative is just as effective, why would you risk the use of a toxic chemical product? Is it a coincidence that the incidence of cancer and other degenerative diseases has grown over the last 50 years, while the development and use of chemicals in our homes has also risen? How long will we have to study the true, long term effects of these chemicals in our lives before we can be totally assured of their safety? Do we really trust our government to tell us what is safe or unsafe?
Once again, if there is not much difference in the cost or effectiveness, WHY RISK IT?
Listen to "Living Natural First" to explore the natural alternatives that are available for all aspects of your life. We believe in a commonsense approach to using natural products for your cooking & cleaning, in your yard & garden and for you & your pets, too. We also explore other aspects of the "Green" movement such as better energy choices, green home building, and even the efforts of the auto industry to make products that are better choices for us and the environment. We will bring you experts each week to talk about natural living. We won't call you names if you don't agree. We just want you to have the opportunity to learn about living "Natural" FIRST.
Simple, Logical, NATURAL.
