Something to consider

A year or so ago I began to be concerned (and annoyed) when I frequently had headaches

 or commonly just felt 'off' 

 

Then I began to correlate it to the times I used various cleaning products.

I started to research 'old fashioned ways' of cleaning on the Internet and found a treasure trove!

As I migrated to nearly exclusive use of natural/non-toxic products the symptoms dissipated.

Then they disappeared all together.

(and I saved significantly on my shopping costs as a secondary bonus)

I didn't think a great deal more about the value (and far reaching impact) of these seemingly small changes in my cleaning routine and products common around the house until I noticed these articles:

In the NEW YORK TIMES by Diane Lewis is a physician and the founder of the Great Healthy Yard Project

and

In the Journal of Environmental Health Perspectives - 17 chemicals to avoid

I'm not (at all!) inclined to the 'chicken little/sky is falling' approach to life

but rather the 'do what is reasonable and live your life' approach to life.

Still, two facts stand tall - no doubt about it. Facts I share with you here, from my life:

1) I see a profound decrease in bees - they are in trouble (and science points to pesticides as an issue)

2) I have seen, currently see and fear for more cases of cancer than I even want to talk about say.

 

I know this isn't a happy, chirpy post, but I'd rather risk the down side of sharing such info *hopefully*

  you'll take a few moments to read these two articles and consider the possibility of using less (or no) chemicals in your home/garden/yard. 

Consider it for the bees, for the water, for your pets, for everything and everyone you love

Consider it for yourself....
