Easy tips just pick one a week to change & in a month you will be amazed at how easy it is!
Things you can do today-
*removing shoes at door to reduce pesticides coming into your home/floors where kids are
*stop using raid -bug killers and weed killers around and inside your house. if its poisonous to insects doesn't that indicate what it could do to a child?
*reduce indoor allergens from spray & plug in air fresheners, fabric softeners, candles( petroleum/parafin wax type-most are made with the same "oil" used for our cars hence the black smokey rim residue). soy and beeswax are natural safer alternatives
*Avoid plastics when possible by choosing paper plates instead of vinyl/plastic or Styrofoam,clothe tablecloths & napkins, fabric or paper bags for store purchases and lunch bags
*When microwaving-use a glass plate and a napkin to reheat food instead of a plastic dish with saran wrap over it.When some plastics are heated or frozen they excrete toxins into your food.
*Open the windows more to air out the toxins on the inside,especially on cleaning day if your using not using natural cleaning products
*clean floors with vinegar (the smell goes away after it dries) instead of smelly cleaners that create waxy buildups, which causes the stains on your grout
When shopping-
*instead of antibacterial hand soap just choose regular "moisturizing type" soaps not containing bleach, chlorine or "triclosan" which is a pesticide! and later if you want to step that up, buy soaps that are made with natural plant bases, if organic even better. I like JR Watkins natural hand soaps and Dr. Bonner's castile soap bars from Target and EO products from Whole Foods and Amazon.
*Go for the recycled paper products instead of big name brands that use bleach to make "white" paper towels. I like Publix brand recycled toilet paper and napkins.
FREE: try to use more old shirts as rags or newspaper when cleaning instead of creating more waste with paper towels.
