Being earth-friendly means being animal-friendly, too. That's why many eco-conscious people are interested in products that aren't tested on animals. Today it's not just mice that are used as human surrogates to test products from shampoo to cosmetics—even dogs and rabbits are sometimes test subjects.

The Coalition for Consumer Information on Cosmetics (CCIC) and Earth911 both offer consumer guides.

Changes must be made, people must pay attention. We will be sorry, I think we are already witnessing the effects of our past neglects - I,personally, am very sorry, this is addressed to all living things - wake up people!!
