I'm slowly changing my cleaning habits to be more "green". My reasons are mainly the health of myself, family and pets but of course I care about the earth too. I've always been disturbed about the list of chemicals found in everyday cleaners and even detergents. I'm learning a lot about making my own cleaners and finding out that many household items such as baking soda, soda water and vinegar are great cleaners and disinfectants. In the long run I know it'll make for a healthier environment to live in. I have a sneaking suspicion that many poisons we openly use in our home environments could be to blame for the increased rate of issues in children like autism, behaviors, etc. Anyway, that's my soap box. My plant-based, biodegradable soap box. :0)
