]]> Comment on Homemade natural moisturizer = excitement! by Whitebark http://greenasathistle.com/2010/12/20/homemade-natural-moisturizer-excitement/#comment-44249 Mon, 07 May 2012 21:56:11 +0000 http://greenasathistle.com/?p=1790#comment-44249 I’m halfway through your book and I’d like to congratulate you – not on how green you’ve become (because I think you’d admit that you’ve got a ways to go) but because you started out so completely ‘un-green’. At 37 myself, I didn’t realise that there were still younger people existing in Canada who were so completely blind about what they were doing. Half the stuff you had to change, I grew up doing with my family in Ontario and we didn’t call it ‘green’ we called it ‘normal’. So although this compliment sounds backhanded, it’s genuine. But I would also like to point out that you appear to have fallen for some of the traps that you alluded to in the book. For instance – before calling bamboo ‘green’, you should do some research. It’s not. 90%+ of our bamboo comes from China, where the poorer rural farmers cut down natural forests to set up bamboo plantations and then cause massive cancer increases downriver with the chemicals required to process the fibre. There are some environmental laws there but they are difficult to enforce and are mostly ignored in the case of bamboo. I’m not saying bamboo is any more evil that regular cotton, but it bugs me that they can market it as ‘green’ instead of just admitting that it’s simply cheaper for the grower. And this last post from you – although it’s great that you aren’t supporting the cosmetic companies, I’m sure you might have been able to find a moisturizer ingredient that wouldn’t be as un-environmental as cocoa butter (hemp seed oil?). In short, I’ve learned over my years in plant conservation that just because it comes from a plant, doesn’t mean it’s ‘green’. http://www.gomc.com/firstpage/199906065.pdf I know it’s difficult to do *everything*, but I thought you should be aware.
