Quotes from around the Globe
How often do we stop and
think seriously about how we are taking care of our precious planet?
Most of us, most of the time seem to be swept up in the ever increasing
pace and demands of today's society. But stop
and think
we must if we are serious about rescuing our planet.
Today overly aggressive cleaning products
still dominate our supermarket shelves. How can we go on allowing
these products to severely pollute our waterways? Many people do
stop and consider carefully what they are placing into supermarket
trolleys but there is a reluctance for consumers to move away from
the "big brands". In the end sticking with the harmful brands will
cost us a lot more than our pocket.
The everyday choices we make as individuals
can lead to a powerful shift in the market. As consumer needs change
Multi National Corporations will have no choice but to align themselves
with the shift, in turn they will be forced into becoming more accountable
for what they produce. Only then will we see some big changes in
the industry. We don't claim that we can save the world only that
we are making our contribution in the reduction of packaging and
chemical waste but it is up to every government, business and individual
to take more realistic action to achieve sustainability.
"If
we do not change direction, we are likely to end up where we are
headed."
- Chinese
Proverb.
