If you want to make a lifestyle change in order to live “greener” and healthier, it might help to do a little prelimnary research.

For instance, is that bottled water you want to use to replace the chlorine laden tap water you’ve been drinking up to this point going to have more in it than bottled tap water? Unfortunately, it is a distinct possibility that you might not be getting what you think you are getting.  The picture on the label may depict a mountain glacier, but the water in the bottle itself may not have come from anyplace anywhere near a mountain glacier.

Or how about your pressure canner?  It may be great to do some home canning, and a pressure canner is one of the safest and quickest ways of doing so.  But wouldn’t it be wise to find out before the purchase that this particular pressure canner is too big for the burners on, and not recommended for use on your ceramic top range?

If you’ve decided to try gardening for the first time, have you purchased the right seeds, bought the right tools, or determined whether or not you really do have the time and dedication to do all of the weeding, watering and processing that might be needed?

In other words, as the old saying goes, “look before you leap,” whether it’s a big leap or just a small one.
