Healthy Child Healthy World

Poster HCHW copyNothing gives parents and caretakers more joy than seeing their children live happy, healthy lives. Creating a safe non-toxic home for your family is one of the most important things that a parent can do to promote an environment in which they can flourish.

Feeding them nutritious food (free of pesticides, hormones and genetic engineering), taking the chemicals out of their home and baby care products, letting them play with safe non-toxic and lead-free toys and eliminating environmental dangers are all crucial roles in living a Green eco-friendly lifestyle. Meanwhile, it instills in them an appreciation for their natural surroundings and their impact on the world around them.

Sadly, many food and non-food products are saturated with dangerous chemicals. With skyrocketing increases in children’s cancer, asthma, autism, diabetes, and so many other diseases, green families know that they must be involved consumers. Gone are the days of picking a random product off of the store shelf and confidently bringing it into the home. The basis for protecting your family is education. LuxEco Family will help parents verify the advertising claims, find trusted resources and brands and give tips and ideas for a vibrant, healthy home.

Community Gardening With Common Ground

By Alanna Brown, LuxEco Editorial Assistant “Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.” In the 1970s, several senators began to recognize a literal truth behind this Chinese proverb. They realized the importance of teaching the man how to provide his own food source. When the government grasped the self-sufficiency and power of being able to fish, or in this case garden, they began granting $100,000 per year to gardening programs. This evolved to $100,000 to each of 20 metro areas around the United States, one of them being Los Angeles.
