    The rainforests may reside in bordered areas called countries with different names and sovereignties, they really belong to all of us as our native resources belong to all of the earth's inhabitants. The sooner we learn this and help to protect, preserve and nurture each other's natural treasures the faster our planet will regain it's health and giver all inhabitants today and future a safe and lovely place to live.

    The lists are so long that it might do well to pick a few of the products one uses the most and start there with both finding alternatives and contacting the manufacturers to provide feedback of your concerns. They really do listen as sales depend on customer satisfaction.

    Using byproducts of everyday living to recycle back into the production of like or unlike products services and needs. Real waste needs to be manageable without affecting the environment of one's own or another's habitat.
