How EWG Can Help You Control Your Life


In a world where fast food is king and profit margins are more important than the quality of what we feed the children, it’s nearly impossible to tell the good from the bad. This is not a scare tactic persuading you into buying more expensive food, but a wake up call to take action and decide for yourself instead of letting the media deciding for you.


This is bigger than just what you eat, but down to the ingredients in your cosmetics, where your energy source comes from, and what’s in every day products you may buy for your home… that’s barely scratching the surface. At Tree Limin’ Extreme, we promote healthy living in an eco-friendly way!


Luckily, there is a group out there that is a great reference for anyone looking to educate him or herself on what’s really going on in this world. They are called Environmental Working Group or EWG. Their goal is to educate and empower the average consumer and unmask the wrongdoings of widely popular products to create a healthier tomorrow.  We strongly believe in what EWG has to say and what they are doing for the world.


How can you have access to this information you ask? Well it’s incurably simple! Here are a few ways you can do so, sitting at home or on the go.


If you’re just lounging around and want to have a good read and dive deeper into the multiple facets dealing with health and environmental issues, check out their website at www.ewg.org


If you can’t get enough and want regular updates about what’s going on in the world, sign up for their e-mail newsletter. They can then bring the news to you whenever it breaks.


Now, if you’re on the go, you can visit their mobile site, or you could do one better. They have 3 free apps you can download directly to your smartphone that can give you all the information about a product right then and there.


On their “Food Scores” app, they have a bar-code scanner that allows you to take an in-depth look into any product. They have a unique system that tells you how it compares to similar products, and gives you an additional option to check out those products. With this powerful tool, you can make the best and most educated decisions when it comes to you and your family’s health.


Their app “SkinDeep” is much like the first app, with the bar-code scanner and scores, but rates products all the way from make-up to sunscreen.


Their third app is called “Dirty Dozen”. This is a shoppers guide to pesticides in products. It labels all the fruits and veggies that are more susceptible to pesticide residues and which aren’t. While eating organically has grown 11% from 2013 to 2014, it may be hard for every family to afford a purely organic diet. With this app, you will be able to see what you should buy organic and what products are safe from pesticides.

 
Also has advance options like newsletter sign up, FAQs, and Reports
By educating ourselves on what is good and what is bad, we will be able to create a better and brighter tomorrow! With these useful tools, you can easily become an advocate for safe and healthy products for you and your family.
