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?
