I saw this article on Yahoo today..
Here are ten toxic products, in no particular order, that you don’t need. And, once you read about them, you probably won’t want them either. Be aware that different homes may have different products that are more toxic than these. This is just a basic list of some of the most commonly purchased products that are almost entirely unnecessary, but pose significant risks.
- 1. Air fresheners
- Drain, oven and toilet bowl cleaners
- Canned food
- Pesticides
- Dry-cleaning
- Bottled water: Most people buy bottled water thinking they’re avoiding any contaminants that may be present in their tap water. For the most part, they’re wrong. Bottled water can be just as, or even more, contaminated than tap water. In fact, some bottled water IS tap water – just packaged (in plastic that can leach chemicals into the water) and over-priced. Also, from manufacture to disposal, bottled water creates an enormous amount of pollution – making our water even less drinkable. Do yourself and the world a favor and invest in a reusable stainless steel water bottle and a water filter. Try the ecoflowater filter bottles in Stainless and BPA free plastic. Each bottle filters 750 bottles of plastic water bottles..
- Rubber duckies
- Perfume and cologne
- Oil-based paints and finishes
- Couch cushions
