We found this old book (The Green Consumer by John Elkington et al) at Booksale in SM Dasmarinas while scanning their shelves. The book was published back in 1990 (more than 18 years ago) but I noticed that most of what is written are still applicable today. We still face the same concerns and the book has been reminding us that “we can buy products that don’t cost the earth.”
One of my advocacies is the use of environment-friendly household essentials. The use of these products will definitely help prevent the pollution of our soils and water sources which are essential to good farming and to our health in general. We have been using products like these in our household whenever possible. Products like these are relatively more expensive but I want to view it as something that is less costly in “real” terms because it is safer to us and the environment. Unfortunately, most groceries do not carry these type of products or maybe I was not looking hard enough.
