At bare Earth we believe that we all must have a greater understanding of our impact on the earth in order to learn what we can do personally to live more eco-friendly lives.  So why buy sustainable products?

According to the EPA the air in our homes is often two to five times more poisonous than the air outside.  There are many sources of indoor air pollution: furniture or cabinets made of pressed wood products, damp carpets, pesticides, cleaners, and the list goes on.  These chemicals can cause and aggravate allergies, some have been linked to nervous system disorders, and some of them carcinogenic (cancer-causing).  Immediate effects can show up as sore throats, itchy eyes, headaches or fatigue.  Longer term effects can be much worse.  - Low Impact Living
