In a new article released by the UN top affiliates are finally realizing the impact that agriculture has on the planet. They note in the article that producing animals and factory farms are just as damaging to the environment as fossil fuels. 

The speed with which the population of our planet is growing is terrifying. Yes many people discuss this frequently and some seem to think that most scientists are "crying wolf". I believe that we truly do need to each do our part. Some of the images below show exactly how much C02 ONE PERSON can keep out of the atmosphere by being vegan. Take a look at the slides and really think about what you want your lasting impact on this life to be. 

One person can't make a difference? I have a few words for you if you believe that: 
Oprah
John Lennon 
Desmond Tutu
Kofi Annan
Maya Angelou
Lord Baden Powell

If you aren't sure who some of these people are - look them up. No they are mostly not environmental activists - that is not my point. I just mean to point out that everything each one of us does can have a lasting impression. 

What will you do TODAY as part of your legacy?

Since I have become involved with a company that only sells holistic, chemical free, gluten free, and above all ANIMAL FREE products I have started doing some research. I wish I hadn't. 

I was mortified. The things that companies are putting in to your makeup, hair products, skin care products and more - is with out a doubt disgusting. 

Please know that I love animals and even though I am almost 100% vegetarian there are times I still eat meat - I am by no means a die hard advocate, but the information is extremely disturbing.

Also - the article listed below only touches on the WHAT of what is in makeup and products - it doesn't touch on the HOW they get the animal bi-products or the human flesh. Take a gander, leave a comment, and PLEASE contact me in the Opportunity Knocks section if you are ready to make a change for your body and skin!

    Welcome! 

    My name is Larissa and the blog world is very new to me. But as I start out on this adventure with you I will write about - mostly - modern parenting in a - mostly - upside down world. You will find clean eating recipes (mostly vegetarian), recalls, clean beauty information and much more! This is a way for me to make connections as I am an entrepreneur in the organic beauty industry as well. Enjoy and PLEASE share your feedback and your stories :)
