We went green several years ago. We have not had a cold or the flu in 5 years. We got the gook out of your home and out of our bodies.
Love the green life!!

Like many others have said, I was SHOCKED at the companies listed under the Family Products section. MANY of these companies' products have KNOWN CANCER-CAUSING INGREDIENTS! When I first learned that Johnson's baby shampoo had formaldehyde in it, I immediately switched products. We had been using Johnson's "Naturals" baby shampoo, and through the skin deep website, discovered it was rated a 6 or 7 out of 10 on the toxicity scale! It makes me angry to learn about how companies can knowingly put cancer-causing ingredients (as well as other ingredients that cause birth defects, infertility, neurological diseases, etc.) in their products.

There ARE alternatives out there! Just do the research. I love the company I shop with b/c it's kind of a one-stop shop, but I've also compiled lots of other great resources for going green (I don't profit from these!), if anyone's interested.

From one Linda to another, you're VERY WELCOME hon.... Be sure to go to any search engine ( I use Google) and type in MSDS and ANY household chemical cleaning product name you have in your home and LOOK AT THE WARNINGS..... Scary stuff.....

If we can keep ONE family out of the ER like I saw over and over again, we've done a good job...

I ONLY bring Tea Tree Oil based household necessity cleaners into my home.......

Its amazing how many unsafe chemicals are in our every day products.

We run a horticultural business for our "day job" and we refuse to use any chemical products.

Nature was around far longer than man made synthetics... i think mother nature got it right the first time - why mes with perfection
