Revolution in Progress
This discussion came up under one of the many laundry soap threads so I thought I would share this with everyone since we are all of a similar mindset.
I have a book by Lori Bongiorno called GreenGreenerGreenest- A Practical Guide to Making Eco-Smart Choices a Part of Your Life
For example- Nail Polish:
Green: Avoid using nail polish with the Toxic Trio ( dibutyl phthalate, formaldehyde and toluene)
If you are pregnant avoid polishing nails, if you must, do it outdoors or where there is good ventilation. Do not polish your kid's nails.
Greener:Limit nail polish use and only in well ventilated spots.
Greenest: Avoid nail polish entirely. Buff nails instead.
This book goes thru every part of your life, from food, beverages, personal care, babies & children, home building & improvement, energy & water conservation, apparel & furnishings, cleaning, pest control, backyard & garden, transportation, and the 3 Rs Reduce Reuse & Recycle.
I suggest it to anyone who would like a little help navigating thru the maze of greeness!
