Can we be making better environmental choices for own bodies and home? You bet!
Any positive change begins with the most local of awarenesses and starting within our own body-mind and without in our own homes and living spaces. Anyone that really wants to grok the true health or dangerous toxicity of consumer products found within most homes will want to be familiar with ‘Environmental Working Group’ (EWG) as an indispensable resource (http://www.ewg.org/about-us). E.g., check out their information on toxic home cleaners: http://www.ewg.org/guides/cleaners .
Here, http://static.ewg.org/…/cleaners_h…/cleaners_hallofshame.pdf, is an informative summary PDF titled “EWG Cleaners Database Hall of Shame”
Beyond home cleaning products, EWG covers a wide range of other consumer product markets.
Search out reputable sources of essential oils and DIY stainless steel cleaners, window cleaners, wood cleaners, granite cleaners, bathroom cleaners and more. E.g., http://livesimply.me/2014/10/14/diy-all-in-one-glass-and-stainless-steel-cleaner .
These healthy home cleaning alternatives are amazing, work perfectly, and being open to the switch by experimenting with these non-toxic cleaners in your own home will bring new heights to your green home cleaning savvy and are a simple must!
As for the practical divinity delivered in making such “small” choices in selecting and using healthy home cleaning products….When you resolve and demand a a non-toxic home, over time you resolve and demand this all the way through to a non-toxic community, non-toxic state, non-toxic country, non-toxic continent, non-toxic earth, non-toxic space, non-toxic universe! It’s all relative, the yin/yang of things, and yet still true nonetheless…
