It seems counter-intuitive, or even hypocritical when the products being sold here, or even the way the products described here seem to be similar with the lot of what is being done out there that Uncle Tee is against.
However, under the layers of marketing and main-stream strategies to capture market attention, there are hidden attempts to plant seeds of awareness and education, as well as to trigger discourse that in turn may lead to understanding and wisdom.
Here are Uncle Tee's Secret Advocacy to bring about:
Human Beings evolved to have bodies that respond to naturally occurring materials and chemicals found in nature. Man made chemicals often have properties that disrupt our biochemistry and may cause long term harm.
"I hope to promote the basic understanding of physiology, biochemistry and mechanisms of action with regards to the products that we use in everyday life."
We use too many things in our daily lives, and much of it adds to resource depletion. Not to mention, some of it is toxic, and some of the goods are also poorly distributed to needy people around the world. Also when these man-made chemicals are released indiscriminately into the environment when we wash our hands or throw into our our refuse, may move up the food chain and fuel ecological disasters.
"I hope to fuel better contextual understanding of the social and environmental impact of the products that we use in our daily life"
In order to sell products, many manufacturers and shops create fancy write-ups and make claims based on sophistry or take false positives and exaggerated results. The heavy handed use of scientific knowledge, using words like 'organic' or play around peoples' untrained understanding of science, like 'bacteria is bad' often creates misunderstanding of what is based on scientific evidence vs what is based on perception or bias.
"I hope to promote scientific literacy and media literacy."
In our modern society, many of us subject ourselves to the notion that we should work to earn lots of money so that we can buy and accumulate more stuff. However, we can learn to lead more care-free lives by being more responsible for the things we use everyday. How much more meaningful and money you save, and good you do for your health and environment if you grow some of your own food, share it with the community, and take part in a positive impact movement?
"You and I can do good, learn and earn together!"
