Living a sustainable lifestyle or "green living" seems second nature to those living with eco awareness in their life, but as a personal consultant, many of the clients I speak with share their anxiety about where and how to start "living green."  Also expressed is a concern that their contribution would be minimal and have little impact on the environment.
 
In my personal consulting, I'm also introduced to those individuals that really don’t see the value in eco awareness, business sustainability, or living a sustainable lifestyle.  Our approach at Taiga Company is to spark or ignite enthusiasm in those not seeing value in environmental causes and further accelerate commitment in those that do.  There are many reasons people choose to embrace eco awareness but what are some of the benefits to living a sustainable lifestyle? 
 
 
  • Save Money
  • Healthier living: eating organic foods and using eco friendly cleaning products and other natural home products is going to have a positive effect on your well being and the well being of your family.
  • Improved quality of life and work life balance.
  • By acting responsibly today, you can help ensure resiliency and health of the earth for future generations.
  • Inspire others by living a sustainable lifestyle.
  • Feel good about yourself and your eco achievements.
  • Reconnect with everything local.
  • Gain a competitive edge - build your career with eco awareness.
  • Become an educated and conscious consumer.
 
In my personal consulting, it’s a rewarding day for me when a client finds the value in "going green" for themselves and embraces eco awareness in their life.  The positive impact on the environment is exponential with more and more people seeking eco awareness in their personal lives and in their work.  If you need help in building a sustainable lifestyle or bringing eco awareness into an area of your life, we are here to help.

This covers all the bases = saves you money, helps the environment, helps your health, makes you feel better, it's so easy to do and it costs less than $50.00; Save money and the Earth and be clean at the same time! Add Bathroom Bidet Sprayers to all your bathrooms. I think Dr. Oz on Oprah said it best: "if you had pee or poop on your hand, you wouldn't wipe it off with paper, would you? You'd wash it off” Available at http://www.bathroomsprayers.com with these you won't even need toilet paper any more, just a towel to dry off! Don’t worry, you can still leave some out for guests and can even make it the soft stuff without felling guilty. It's cheap and can be installed without a plumber; and runs off the same water line to your toilet. You'll probably pay for it in a few months of toilet paper savings. And after using one of these you won't know how you lasted all those years with wadded up handfuls of toilet paper. As for water use a drought is always a concern and must be dealt with prudently but please remember that in the big picture the industrial water users always far exceed the water use of household users and in the case of toilet paper manufacture it is huge. The pollution and significant power use from that manufacturing process also contributes to global warming so switching to a hand bidet sprayer and lowering your toilet paper use is very green in multiple ways.
