Mercury and phthalates

Especially women and children are usually exposed to harm impact brought by using products that contain chemicals like mercury and phthalates.
Unbeknownst to most beauty consumers, undisclosed amounts of mercury can be found in some mascara, eyeliners and skin-lightening creams. Although its presence in something like mascara doesn't pose an immediate health risk, many toxicologists believe mercury accumulated in the body from long-term use could be dangerous. Mercury can cause serious neurological problems.
The another hidden murderer are materials containing Phthalates.
Phthalates are plasticizers. In cosmetics, they are used to add texture and luster to the product. Ninety percent of the world's plasticizers are used to soften PVC (vinyl) and make it pliable. The other 10 percent have been used in many kinds of manufacturing for 30 years, beginning with medical products like IV bags, gloves and blood bags, but also paints, lubricants, adhesives, kid's toys, sex toys, food containers, and, of course, cosmetics.
Phthalates are metabolized in humans once ingested or absorbed through the skin. In pregnant women, phthalates pass through the placenta to be absorbed by the fetus. In nursing women, phthalates are found in breast milk, which means infants are ingesting these chemicals as they develop.
Phthlates are in lotion, shampoo, deodorant, and lots of cosmetics.
Thus, while the industry finds the non-toxic cheap alternatives to phthalates  and mercury we just have to be more attentive while choosing the products we use and surely, to organize crusades  expressing our alarm about chemical's industry.On An interview with Mary Brune, founder of Making Our Milk Safe posted 1 year, 8 months ago 1 Response

eco-living style

I agree with the statement that suggests to empower   society with information about eco-living style. Partially it means that we should revert back to a more traditional way of life and to become as self-sufficient as possible. Eco-living philosophy penetrates in all spheres of our life even in such private as sexual. Here we should remember about using only energy-saving sex toys made from eco-friendly materials and eco-safe contraceptives like biodegradable NaturalLamb condoms.On The "Four E's" of environmental improvement posted 1 year, 8 months ago 43 Responses

Uncontrolled fertility

Uncontrolled fertility is the problem of the developing countries but not of developed. Well developed countries did all to prevent overpopulation : prolonged high  education, popularized safe sex and family planning... And all these measures still bear fruit even in favorable socio-economic conditions. It's a pity that this plan don't work in the developing countries. According to statistics even using of condoms-the simple way to prevent unwanted pregnancy and STDs - is surprisingly low in these countries.On Rethinking 'overpopulation' posted 1 year, 9 months ago 77 Responses

Phthalates -free sex toys

As for  adult toys I've noticed a tendency that they become greener. Today a lot of manufacturers are concentrated on producing Environmentally Conscious Adult items because of behavior of green consumers. Despite the fact that sex toys made from Phthalates -free materials are more expensive  they are in great demand.   Eco-living has become fashionable, chic and sexy.

recycling condoms

There exist many ways of recycling used condoms.
I was deeply shocked finding out of a man from Singapore with some unique taste. He has an odd collection from hundreds of the used "snowdrops of love" on his bathroom window.Neighbors downstair have been complaining about his gross act for a while. Some of the condoms are rotting from the sun, and when it rains, the water washes the condoms causing them to drip on the neighbor's windows.
In the Guangdong province in China Green-minded entrepreneurs  take used condoms and recycle them into elastic hairbands, which are then sold at local beauty salons.
But if you don't share above mentioned ways of recycling used condoms you simply can follow the rule of not flushing them down the toilet and recycle these plastic items along with soda bottles and similar products.On Umbra on recycling condoms posted 1 year, 9 months ago 5 Responses

privat life energy-saving technologies

It's not a secret anymore that energy-saving technologies represent one of the best methods of fighting global warming.  Curiously enough, such technologies are popular in all spheres of life and the sexual is not an exception. I was really amazed by discovering eco-friendly sex toys and it's great that even such private part of our life can be friendly not only with us, but with the environment as well.On Not as dirty as it sounds posted 1 year, 9 months ago 9 Responses
