Share your Passion for the Environment and Grow Rich

By Jemma Rivera


In western, highly developed economies such as those of New Zealand, Australia and the U.S. the generation of ever greater amounts of wealth has come along with a greater acknowledgment that individuals, businesses and governments alike must start working towards harmonizing the interests of humanity with those of the environment in which we live. This is a goal for urban dwellers to work towards, not just those living in rural areas.

Preserving biodiversity and keeping the environment in good condition are equally important whether you live in Sydney, New York City, or a tent in the mountains somewhere. All people are affected by the quality of the environment around them and we all have a stake in the health of the environment in which we live. Humanity is coming to the realization that we must all work together towards this goal of greener living.

Despite the strength in the green movement, there are still many corporations who profit by harming the environment. There are organic product manufacturers though who are beginning to use multi-level marketing to promote their products and therefore providing business opportunities for those who support the green movement.

With more and more investors paying attention to how green a given company is, going green is now big business. Even the busy housewife or working mother can prosper "the natural way" from going green.

Using (and more to the point, selling) organic products is a great thing for the environment and your back pocket at the same time.

Organic products are naturally biodegradable if they get thrown out. When used, organic products naturally harmonise with and nourish the human body, the habitat of people, animals, and plants, and the atmosphere. Organic products do not pollute rivers and streams, they don't drive animals out of their natural niche environments, they are not part of the "chemical haze" that slowly poisons us and takes us to early graves by putting unnatural synthetic substances on our skin and into our bodies, and they are made from resources that are readily renewable. Organic products make it a prosperous and economically sound practice to sustain the natural environment and allow it to flourish, as opposed to running rough shod over it.

There are a lot of different organic products on store shelves these days and not all of them are equally, well, organic. There are certification organizations for organic products, however many manufacturers play on the lack of distinction many people make between "natural" and "organic". Look for certified organic products - there are offerings for skin care, hair products, cosmetics, health supplements and personal care products available.

These products provide: clean and potent plant extracts of high vitality; more vitamins, nutrients, and cancer-fighting anti-oxidants than in non-organic counterparts; significant quantities of bio-available nutrients to literally feed your skin; No synthetic functional ingredients (including pH adjusters, colours, pearlisers, consistency modifiers, and preservatives); no chemical emulsifiers; and no chemical preservatives. Instead you get tested and proven all-natural shelf life.

If you happen to have an interest in health and environmental matters, you can get involved by taking up one of the home based business opportunities out there selling organic products. This is a line of work which can be lucrative, yet ethical. Being a representative for organic products lets you take advantage of this growing market without taking advantage of Mother Nature.

This is a truly flexible opportunity - you can work on your own schedule, full or part time. Instead of hard sell sales tactics, you need only the ability to listen to people and communicate with them about their needs. In short, all you need is a passion for green living.
