Going green in 2013

I said before that I was going to be making another post on this subject, and I think that now is the time for that. I don't want to flood my blog with posts about this topic, I will only do it when I think it's absolutely necessary or if I really want to write about it, so this post will be filled with quite a few information's about the topic and with a few links you can visit.

For start I will be changing a few things in my life, simple things that will make a huge difference. I made a list of a few of them, some I will be able to change right away, other will take a few time but I will get there: 

.

✦   Replace all plastic bags with tote bags (no more shopping bags from Zara, H&M, etc)
✦   Always carry one of those totes in my purse
✦   Replace chemical products with natural ones (shampoo, detergent, cloths, sponges.)
✦   Buy garbage bins for recycling
✦   Use organic/vegan makeup and beauty products
✦   Buy a re-usable coffee cup from Starbucks to carry my juice 
✦   Buy re-usable water bottle (preferably with a filter)
✦   Find an alternative to tissue papers (maybe fabric tissues)
✦   Avoid large amounts of plastic on purchased items (like toys that have too much packing plastic)
✦   Avoid BPA (Bisphenol A) in plastics
✦   Eat less meat/fish/dairy and more fruit/vegetables/nuts

You can also watch some documentaries on this subject. I have been watching the ones from this list during February. Most of them have the links but the ones that don't are the ones that I still didn't found online. Also some of the documentaries are about being a vegan/vegetarian, but they are really good too, so if you want go watch one or two:

Happy Hungry for Change Vegucated Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead Food Fight An Inconvenient Truth Forks Over Knives Forks Over Knives Extended Dying to Have Known Food Matters Jamie Oliver's TED award speech Supersize Me TEDTalks: Chew on This One Nation Overweight Lbs.

America the Beautiful 2 King Corn Tapped Story of Stuff Bag It Blue Gold: World Water Wars A River of Waste: The Hazardous Truth Cigarette Wars Meet Your Meat No Impact Man The Last Heart Attack Chemercial The Beautiful Truth The end of Poverty?

Now, I have also been going to a transition to a Vegan lifestyle when it comes to eating. I make green juices every morning and my lunch is always a fruit salad. For dinner I avoid eating meat, but sometimes I don't have an alternative (I still don't know how to make Tofu), but most of the times I eat soup. This topic will be a discussion for another post, for now I leave you it this one and I hope that it will make you think about the environment and about You.
