Shopping for a Happy Planet!

Finally, there is a company that can bring us the products that we really want! Products that are organic, kind to the planet, and not tested on animals! What more could we ask for? 

Harmless House, started by Kate Townshend, offers a wide range of products. Harmless House has everything: scrubs, lotions, skin care, toothbrushes, toothpaste and baby products and stocks four brands: Sanctum, Eco-Dent, BWC and The Environmental Toothbrush. 

I have sampled some of the products myself and they are really quite amazing! Not only is the quality fantastic, but you can use these products with a clear conscious! 

If you really do replace your toothbrush every three months like you're supposed, you have probably wondered about the environmental impacts of all those plastic toothbrushes being thrown in the bin (not to mention what went into making them). The bamboo for a Harmless House Environmental toothbrush grows sustainably in just five hours, and is biodegradable!

I can't wait to start shopping!

Jane's Journey

On Tuesday evening I had the privilege of attending the premier of Jane's Journey: a documentary telling the story of Jane Goodall's amazing life and dedication to chimpanzees. 

The premier was a fundraiser for the Jane Goodall Institute (JGI). They sold toy chimpanzees (Yes, I bought one), calendars (that too), and some of Goodall's books (I've already read those). The caterers sadly failed to provide vegetarian food, which is rather silly considering that Goodall is a strict vegetarian. However, considering that Cinema Nouveau provided the catering and the movie-screening for free, I think we can forgive that oversight. 

A JGI member talked about a recent expedition to the Central African Republic. JGI sent a team to the CAR to collect a chimpanzee named Claude from a desolate life in a zoo, and brought him back to Chimp Eden. During the expedition a power change in the CAR caused political problems for the team, who eventually had to break Claude out of the zoo so that the South African Air Force could bring them all back. The story was incredibly inspirational. You can read more incredible JGI stories here.
