The pressing need to protect our planet

Worldwide, the ‘Inconvenient Truth’ is that environmental alarm bells are now ringing loud and clear. Scientific facts show that global temperatures are increasing; forests are shrinking; deserts are expanding; ice caps are melting; sea levels are rising; plant and wildlife are rapidly disappearing; and the severity and frequency of droughts, bushfires, floods and storms are all set to significantly worsen.

The plight of the humble frog (the acknowledged barometer of the ecological health of our streams and waterways) irrefutably points to the real trouble our planet is facing from climatic change and chemical waste.

In Australia alone, 3 entire frog species are already extinct; 14 more are critically endangered; and a further 29 are at serious risk of disappearing.

Nature is telling us ‘enough is enough’. Yet supermarket and shop shelves are still stacked with overly aggressive, chemical based cleaning and laundry products that eventually enter our waterways and ultimately cause serious pollution.

At Natures Organics, all we ask of you as a consumer is to say, “enough is enough” to the brands whose everyday products are causing harm - and to move to using more natural, environmentally responsible alternatives that not only help protect the planet but still meet your performance expectations.

When enough of us pause to make this small switch in ‘choice’ it will have a major impact on forcing companies who are doing the wrong thing to change their ways - and begin caring about the state of the world we pass on to our children.
