About
Us
Earthome,
Inc. is an all volunteer 501(c)(3) organization
chartered in June 1995 and has since that time sponsored
a variety of projects.
Earthome is an organization
whose target audience is the human species. Our goal is
to educate about viable alternatives so that we can live
our lives with most of our present amenities while also
being in sync with the planet. Most of it has to do with
embracing new lifestyle habits relevant to our daily
choices.
Groceries:
* How far did this food travel relevant to fossil fuel
use and pollution?
* Was it grown locally in order to be its freshest and
to support local farmers?
* Is it free of pesticides, herbicides, genetic
engineering processes, antibiotics, growth hormones,
cruel animal practices?
Cars:
* How many miles per gallon?
* How much pollution does it produce?
* Does it use fuel with lower emissions, such as
bio-diesel?
* Do we consider carpooling, mass transit, combining our
errands?
Clothes, furniture, floor coverings, appliances:
* Are there local stores that carry options that provide
healthier choices? Might we choose Energy Star labeled
appliances and natural fiber carpeting instead of nylon?
Is the furniture wood harvested sustainably and a
non-endangered species?
* How much land, air and water pollution is caused by
the manufacturing process of an item, its usage during
its lifecycle and once its lifecycle is complete?
* Do we realize that we "vote" with our dollars by
choosing to support products whose companies have good
ethics, act responsibly relevant to their employees,
animals and the environment?
