Ruby is a Commerical Retail Designer with over 13 years of experience working at numerous international commercial retail projects across China and the Middle East. One of her most recent projects is the Changsha International Financial Square. “The reason inspired me to start No.2 Organics, is that when I realised how much waste and pollution has been producing from the construction industry.” In the meantime, she believes that nature is always the best healer, physically and mentally; however, somehow most of us have lost connection with nature and powerful ancient elements that are with us all times. "There are alternatives nowadays that are cheaper, easier but synthetic ways to fulfil our needs, but these dependencies and chemical desensitisation are the key factors in many physical and mental illnesses. The fact is that when toxic and chemical based products are applied to the skin, they are directly absorbed into the bloodstream. Also, when we choose toxic and chemical based products, they go through the water system and unfortunately some of the toxic and chemical can never be filtered and it becomes water pollution. The effects of this pollution can damage life in the ocean and freshwater, which continues up the global food chain. Limiting water pollutants is crucial because they find their way into our entire food supply, We can limit the effects of water pollutants by taking precautions on our daily life. We are exposed to high levels of many toxicants through foods, health problems include skin damage, problems with the circulatory system, and an increased risk of cancer.
