    The word ‘natural’ on a product label is not always a guarantee of safety.  A growing number of Americans are seeking so-called “green” cleaners — products made with natural, nontoxic, and biodegradable ingredients. Sales of natural cleaning products totaled $105 million in the last year.

    Planet Namaste: Ahimsa for Green Living

    Author Prestonne Domareski

    Yoga is more than an exercise, it’s a lifestyle. As an avid practitioner and teacher of hatha yoga, I actively participate in this "yoga lifestyle" – I buy products made of organic material, recycle and compost whenever I can, drink tap water out of a reusable water bottle, ride my bike whenever possible, wash my clothes in cold water and consume organic, locally grown whole foods. However as the popularity of yoga increases with the temperature of our planet, I notice more Starbucks cups in the trash after class and less green living than I see in Yoga Journal advertisements. I find myself wondering if other yogis share the same environmentally friendly habits – does practicing yoga actually make you more environmentally sustainable, or is it simply a pretence perpetuated through the media?

We also have to remember that babies LOVE to put their mouths on everything, so we should use very green cleaners on all their items.

    How to get your child excited about nature

    Author Greg Seaman

    Children are born with an innate curiosity about the natural world around them. How can we help them satisfy it?  Parents need to teach children in a simple but deliberate way how to understand and interact with the natural environment. If this curiosity is not stimulated, it gradually dulls as the many distractions of modern life fill the child’s interest.
