Going Green??

Wellness Warehouse - Cape Town

The Wellness Warehouse is located on Kloof Street in Cape Town, for any of you lucky people who happen to be there go and check it out ;)

This is a brand that offers all kinds of wellness products and in essence offer a kind of lifestyle not only the kind of products that they have to sell physically. What really interests me personally is how 'Green' and 'Eco-Friendly' all products have gone, but the more 'Green' a product is, the more expensive it seems to be and the more exclusive the lifestyle seems to be.

In an ideal world, everyone should care for each other, whether you know the person or not, this includes animals and the very precious resources that the planet offers us. If everyone looked after each other and the planet and didn't want to make as much money as possible, then this kind of 'healthy lifestyle' would be more obtainable to everyone, because what is really important - how much money you can make or how you have made an impact in life??

This shop has a great feeling about it, clean, exclusive and upmarket, which is fabulous, but is this really where being Green is going??

Us as consumers always are influenced by the global trends and everyone has seemed to jump on the green bandwagon, what does it really mean to go Green for you? Is just buying organic food enough, or is it challenging the wrapping and the containers that that organic food comes in? 

Don't get me wrong, this is a fabulous shop, but just using it to challenge whoever reads my blog, what does going green mean to you - or do you think it is just a phase?
