Sometimes it’s good to pause and take a look at how far you’ve come. Life is a long and often arduous journey and we often get so caught up in it that we forget that we’re making progress. On a personal level, it can be quite revealing to stop and remember where you’ve been. Who were you a year ago…three years ago…ten years ago? Who are you becoming? How did you respond to your environment then? What were your dreams and how have they changed? Most important, how have you evolved since then? As a culture or even as human beings, we can do the same thing.

One piece of evidence that we are making progress as a people is the increased awareness of conscious consumerism and the flood of organic, sustainable, recycled, and generally green products that are coming out each day…from bed sheets to batteries, from LED flashlights to soy shrimp that tastes and feels like the real thing. I’d like to take a moment to celebrate the success of conscious consumerism! We’ve literally pulled a myriad of products into the market and even created opportunities for the markets themselves. Superfood drinks, healthy coffee, pomegranate skin lotion…the list goes on and on. Here are a few great posts that highlight some of these wonderful products.
