Personal environmentalism
We are all busy trying to get through our daily tasks, which include raising a family, keeping house, and earning a living. Devoting time or energy to environmental concerns may seem like afterthought to some or even a luxury to most.
At Olivine™ we firmly believe that a lifestyle that incorporates green thinking does not have to be expensive or time consuming. In fact, we recommend taking steps toward living green™. This means a realistic and incremental approach to using our daily routine and purchasing choices to reflect a greater concern for the planet.
We all know that manufacturers and retailers embrace trends in the marketplace. By intentionally shifting our personal habits and spending to products and services that offer the greatest environmental benefits, we can direct big business in a more earth conscious direction.
The buying public absolutely can influence how products are made, used, and disposed of. We call this the power of personal environmentalism. Just as we recognize every vote counts in a healthy, vibrant democracy, so does every dollar spent reflect our values and belief that what we buy matters.
At Olivine™ we are committed to demonstrating the power of personal environmentalism by helping conscientious consumers make the best choices in a sometimes crowded and confusing marketplace. We invite you attend a Green Gathering™, have a personal consultation, or visit our web site. We can help you take the guesswork out of living green.

QUICK TIP
Organic produce shopping guide
Organically grown produce can sometimes be difficult to find year round and also may cost a premium. To get the most bang from your buck we recommend focusing your organic produce purchases to the Dirty Dozen list. These fruits and vegetables have been shown to contain the highest levels of pesticide residue after harvest.
Choose organic when buying:
1. Peach
2. Apple
3. Bell Pepper
4. Celery
5. Nectarine
6.
Strawberries
7.
Cherries
8.
Kale
9.
Lettuce
