How does buying natural/recycled/organic products help the enviroment?

The methods we use to produce many of the products we use are very toxic. That is a big reason why so many of our factories have moved overseas. The US has the EPA which helps protect worker safety and the environment.

Many of the countries we have moved factories to don't have those protections. Using natural material instead of plastics or other synthetics produces dramatically less toxic waste and pollution. The use of recycled material allows valuable resources to be used and reduces what goes into a landfill.

Organic cotton and food reduces the amount of pesticides used which protects our soil and water as well as slows down the mutations in pests that make them resistant to these sprays. More.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
