If you've visited our website or regularly read our blog, you probably already know, we at Glynne’s Soaps are very environmentally conscious. We try to do as much as we can to make a positive impact on the environment. This is true for our personal lives and our business. As I was reading some things about Earth Day, I found a web site called “Low Impact Living”. They have an impact calculator that I thought was worth a second look. Answer a few simple questions about your house and the calculator will show not only your carbon footprint but also energy, water, wastewater, trash, and stormwater runoff footprints of your home and lifestyle. It then gives suggestions about things you can do around your home to reduce these footprints. The suggestions were very practical and also included the cost and potential savings of the changes. So, if you have a few minutes, check out the calculator and make some “Earth Day resolutions” to lower your carbon footprint. When you are done with that, head on over to www.glynnesoaps.com and get some all natural soap. So many soaps in stores today contain a variety of fragrances and chemicals that have the potential to harm the environment. Some chemicals used in soap fragrances have been proven to cause birth defects and liver damage in animals. These chemicals aren't the type of thing you want to risk using on your body unless absolutely necessary, let alone escape into our waterways. Even if the potentially toxic chemicals are in minute amounts and they may not build up on or in our bodies, they can accumulate in the environment. Our soaps are made with all natural ingredients, no chemicals, so they will not harm you, or the environment. What a great way to pamper yourself, your family and your friends and celebrate Earth Day. Remember – free shipping on all orders placed before midnight tonight. Happy Earth Day!!
