I’ve heard that most eco-friendly products and services cost more than conventional ones. I can’t afford to spend more money! Is it true that going green is expensive?

 

Some products can be more expensive, but have the benefit of being multi-purpose, so you don’t have to buy as many products. Some products are not more expensive than conventional ones, and when it comes to organic and truly eco-friendly products, the benefits of how much your health and surroundings improve - and your lowered impact on the environment - far outweighs the costs. But in many cases, you don’t even have to buy more products to be green and healthy!

Can you save money by going green?

 

Yes! Being energy efficient always saves you money. Many products end up saving you money in the long run, and there are many you probably buy now that you may not even need. There are many ways going green can save money, depending on each situation. Green on the Inside can explain how when we meet and speak with you.

What does my health have to do with going green and the environment? I thought that “green” was just about saving the earth.

 

If we have a healthy planet, we have healthy people. If there is a green certified building but people are getting sick, something’s wrong with that picture! Most conventional products - from glass cleaners to the solvents used to glue down a carpet to the bleach in toilet paper - not only hurt the earth, they hurt us.

 

We are just discovering the extent to which many industrial and synthetic ingredients impact our health at the same time as they degrade the earth’s ecosystems. So going green and being healthy go hand in hand. One can’t truly happen without the other happening as well. Everything is interconnected.

Why would using green products improve my health?

 

Most conventional products contain chemicals and toxins that impact our health. That includes potent neurotoxins, allergens, and carcinogens. Most of these products were formulated before we knew they were not safe. Right now, there are no regulations controlling most of what goes into cleaning or personal care products, or requiring companies to list all the ingredients on the label.

 

Truly green products list all ingredients and choose not to use synthetics, as well as gentler, healthier alternatives. This means, in the case of cleaners, things get clean without leaving toxic residues behind. As with cleaners, anything else you breathe or touch can impact your health. So making sure you know what’s in it - and what you’re exposed to - makes all the difference for your health.
