Taking Baby Steps Toward Natural Living

Living a healthy and natural lifestyle is rapidly becoming a must-do for moms who want to raise environmentally conscious children. Whether you’re the soccer mom, working mom or yoga mom, most moms are simply looking for a little insight and inspiration to make the world more eco-friendly for their babies. To do so, they are making small changes — from the food they are feeding their families to the products they are purchasing.

JOHNSON’S® NATURAL™ product line, which naturally and gently cares for baby’s skin and hair makes it easy to infuse natural elements into your life by using ingredients such as fruits and plants.

Sara Snow, Natural and Green Living Expert and TV Host is thrilled with the new addition for “natural” moms. She shares simple tips and ideas that every mom can incorporate into her daily routine to make her life more natural:

No More Paper or Plastic:

Any time you hit the grocery store, meat market, or even mall; take your own reusable shopping bag.

Unplug:

Reduce the consumption of electrical energy by simply unplugging electronics when they’re not in use. Phone chargers draw energy all day long when left plugged into the wall, and electronics can use 40% of their regular running energy when plugged in on standby.

Conserve Water:

Take quicker showers, fix leaky faucets and shut off the water while you brush your teeth. That alone can save almost 2000 gallons a year.

Reach for the Stars:

Always look for the Energy Star seal. Appliances with this seal use less energy, save you money and help protect the environment. Available products range from programmable thermostats to cordless phones. To give an example, Energy Star washing machines use 50% less energy and could reduce your utility bills by over $100 a year.

Switch out Light bulbs:

Americans buy 1 billion bulbs a year. If everyone would switch out just one conventional bulb for a compact fluorescent light bulb (CFL), it would be like pulling a million cars off the roads. Plus, because the bulbs last 10 times as long and are 25% more energy efficient, they’ll save you money.
