“Over the past couple of years I’ve really gotten into being healthy and giving a lot of consideration to trying to be more natural in so many aspects. We do a lot around the house to recycle etc. but the biggest thing for me is slowly switching over to mostly natural beauty products. Its a long process as there are many, many beauty products that contain chemicals and toxins, and I can’t give them up as easily as I can say, recycle my water bottles and cans. …

There’s Helen Hunt 49, wearing an eco-friendly H&M gown at the Oscars, Meryl Streep 63, promoting environmental food awareness, Bette Midler 67, greening up with her New York Restoration Project and Darryl Hannah 52, chaining herself to trees.  All I’m doing is recyling, buying organic, doing yoga and worrying obsessively about climate change, polar bears, whales, bushfires, earthquakes, the next tsunami, and carbon pollution in the daily news. I don’t have a hybrid or solar panels, let alone a dehydrator. Like most women 50+ I admit the concept of “green” beauty sounds like a more eco-friendly choice but give up my delish hi-tech creams, hair products and gorgeous makeup? For following a week of conscience-stricken investigative beauty, here are the three things you and I need to know: …
