When most people think about pollution, they seldom think about indoor pollution, despite the fact that the air we're breathing inside our homes is often far more toxic than the air outside. This is, of course, because of all the dubious household chemical cleaning products most individuals use in their homes. As the authors of this important book suggest, many of our homes have been turned into test tubes by multinational corporations and their harmful, largely unregulated cleaning products which destroy the environment and endanger our health. Over time, many of these chemicals bioaccumalate in our bodies, causing cancer, asthma, hormone disruption, reproductive problems, developmental disorders, birth defects, and other serious health problems. Fortunately, there is a solution. Do not buy chemical cleaning products!!! As a longtime consumer of natural cleaning products, I can tell you that they clean just as well as their conventional counterparts, but without polluting your body, your landbase, or your local watershed. That said, beware of greenwash. Your best bet is to buy your cleaning products from your neighborhood natural food store, not a grocery store, and remember to always read the labels. When buying household cleaning products, I personally would choose Seventh Generation, Ecover, or Dr. Bronner's, as they're all non-toxic, biodegradable, cruelty-free, and very reliable. Thank you Seventh Generation and New Society Publishers for this excellent resource! I hope that many people read it and choose to buy all natural cleaning products!
