Green Shopping and Green Building to Improve Your Family's Indoor Air Quality by Art Emiss June 2009 Green Shopping is good for the economy. It encourages local shopping where you live. A healthy local economy is essential for improving Air Quality that threatens our family's health, welfare and prosperity of just about everyone. Our local Air Quality is improved by limiting toxic emissions into the air which can improve the Chemical and Ozone levels in our cities. Green Shopping is more efficient by staying locally when it comes to getting our food and supplies such as organic vegetables. The cost of our food has gone up due to the fact that we ship a lot of foods to others parts of the world. Florida oranges go to California and California oranges or produce goes to Florida. This is not Green Shopping and is not Green-Efficient or Eco-Smart. Think localism. All I hear is Carbon Emissions, Carbon Emission everywhere I read concerning Climate Change. Carbon Emissions is not the problem we should be looking at. We should be looking at toxic chemicals being released and used during the manufacture and transportation of goods. As soon as you start limiting the release and use of chemicals, the Carbon Emission levels will drop significantly and improve our Air Quality. Pollution is caused by chemicals being released during the manufacture of goods and services. If we start limiting the pollution levels, Carbon Emission levels will drop over time. Climate Change can be fixed if we start using less toxic building materials. This in turn will help our Outdoor Air Quality. Our Air Quality is important for all our family's health in the long run. The next time you go Green Shopping at your local Home Depot or Lowes, stay away from the recycled woods such as particle board and recycled wood chip boards. The toxic emissions from these products can make your family sick from the outgassing of emissions. What good is reducing Carbon Emissions if we all get sick from using this recycled material. Buy real wood from Home Depot or Lowes and your family will not get sick. If you want to use these recycled products, they belong outdoors, not in your "Indoor Air Environment" to help prevent your family from getting sick. In conclusion, Green Shopping is good for Climate Change by reducing Chemical and Ozone Emissions. Climate Change can be helped by limiting the use of chemicals during manufacturing and its release into the air. The final suggestion, do not use recycled wood in your home, it can possibly release chemicals into your Indoor Air Quality and could make your family sick.
