Blog, Pause For Prevention

By now, you probably know that plastics can be hugely problematic for our health and mother nature. Living Green is one of our 8 Stomps to Step Out Breast Cancer so we believe that it is always better to choose materials such as glass, stainless steel, or organic fabrics.

While antibiotics do have their place in medicine, why not think about reaching for a natural solution when you can? Mother Nature has some pretty amazing things to offer us!
