We all know that with warmer weather, BBQs, and campfires comes the pesky little insects we’ve grown to call bugs – an ironic name seeing how that’s all they seem to do. Unfortunately many of the insect repellents we purchase not only repel these pests, but also introduce harmful chemicals that can seep into our skin. A harmful ingredient like DEET, when absorbed into our skin, is linked to neurological damage, seizures, and death. And the worst part, people put this stuff on themselves and their kids. Naturalnews.com points out this worrisome statistic: each year approximately one-third of all Americans spray and slather on insect repellents containing central nervous system toxin DEET.
Fortunately there are replacements for the many brand name insect repellents that contain DEET and other harmful chemical ingredients.

In the past few 20 years, many health and beauty companies have begun utilizing “microbeads” as exfoliates in cleansing products. This is economical for the corporations but creates a large problem when these particles are rinsed off your body and into the wastewater stream. Many of these particles are too small to be filtered out in wastewater treatment screens. So, the final destination for these plastic microbeads is often our oceans. Keep reading →
Earth Day is the one time a year everyone comes together to help Mother Nature. At Izzit we like to think we help Mother Nature every day by providing you with really cool green stuff and by supporting our Green Partners like CarbonFund.org.
Today we are asking you to inspire a friend to live more sustainably by buying them a cool green gadget, or green up your kitchen with some eco-friendly kitchenware. All your support has inspired our little Green Sasquatch to donate 50% of our revenue generated by you on Earth Day to our partner CarbonFund.org so they can continue helping us all reduce the world’s carbon footprint.
