If 10,000 of us were to purchase one less bottle of floor cleaner, we'll avert the production and transportation of 25 bathtubs full of chemicals. Impact on the planet- reduced carbon and other deadly chemical emission in production as well as transpiration of these chemicals. Most of the stuff you buy gets transported thousands of kilometers via carbon monster trucks. One truck transporting such stuff over 1000 kilo meters means nothing less than a tonne of Co2 emission in the air!!! That's the impact of transportation alone! Did you ever imagine that one nice packed bottle that we pick up neatly stacked in the shelve in the neighborhood super market is effectively a CO2 guzzling monster. Only that the emission is not happening where you buy.
Am I suggesting not cleaning the floor with a dis-infect ant. Absolutely not. All I am trying to point out is that if we can get a little conscious and reduce consumption without impacting the desired lifestyle, we can make a big difference. just that we need to take a pause and think for a few seconds before we consume.
