Friendly reminder that free-range, grass-fed, organic, antibiotic free, and grade A animal products DO NOT ❌❌mean cruelty free, or humane. Much like “green-washing”, these terms hold no actual meaning to the animal agriculture industry besides gaining more profit from those who attempt to empathize with animal exploitation. Would also like to add that cruelty free does not necessarily look at animal exploitation in its entirety. Cruelty free includes no animal testing, not the ingredients used in the product which may include animal products. Read your ingredients! Know what to look for! Heres a great source! http://www.onegreenplanet.org/animalsandnature/common-cosmetic-ingredients-derived-from-animal-products/ Also if you’re looking to also consider the environment and your endocrine system when choosing which self care products to use, I suggest looking them up before purchase on the Environmental Working database! https://www.ewg.org/skindeep/#.WlUMiGhyaEc If you can’t find a specific product look up the ingredients individually! ❤️✌🏻🌱🌍 Don’t forget to support local businesses with your purchases! #onegreenplanet #ecoanarchist #environmentalism #veganism #crueltyfree #vegan #plantbased #savetheworld #environmentalworkinggroup

#Repost @environmentalworkinggroup with @make_repost ・・・ A bill introduced today in Congress would ban the toxic “forever chemicals” known as PFAS from food packaging, an avoidable source of exposure to the harmful substances. If passed, the bipartisan Keep Food Containers Safe from PFAS Act would ban the sale of grease-repellant PFAS on any food wrappers or packaging, beginning Jan. 1, 2024.

Reposted from @environmentalworkinggroup The groundwater of at least nine military installations close to the Chesapeake Bay is contaminated with high levels of the toxic fluorinated “forever chemicals” known as PFAS, according to Department of Defense records obtained by EWG. The chemicals have seeped into the bay, affecting its wildlife, and potentially harming residents’ food supply and livelihoods. The contamination underscores the need for swift DOD cleanup, who have used these chemicals in firefighting foams for decades and knew of their harms. #EWG #EnvironmentalWorkingGroup#Environment #Water #Chemicals #Runoff #Pollution #Drink #Water #CleanWater #Contamination #DrinkingWater #PFAS #Chemicals #Filter #WaterIsLife #WaterFilter#Pollution #PFOA #Dupont #Cancer #Teflon #chesapeakebay #TheEnvironmentalBoy https://www.instagram.com/p/CSdVv39IovZ/?utm_medium=tumblr

For the fourth straight year strawberries top the list as the food with the most pesticides, followed by Spinach and Kale. Photo: Adonyi Gábor / Pexels The nonprofit Environmental Working Group (EWG) each spring publishes a list of fruits and vegetables containing elevated levels of pesticides called the Dirty Dozen. The annual list of the 12 most contaminated produce is based on 40,900 samples tested by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the Food and Drug Administration. For the fourth straight year strawberries top the table as the food with the most pesticides, followed by Spinach and Kale. Samples are tested for pesticides after they have been thoroughly washed and, when applicable, peeled.EWG On the other side of the fence the organization also publishes a second list of fruits and vegetables containing low levels of pesticides referred to as the Clean Fifteen. Avocados top the clean food list, followed by sweet corn and pineapples. “It is important to note that the samples are tested for pesticides after they have been prepared to be eaten. This means the produce has been thoroughly washed and, when applicable, peeled,” EWG.
