Why Go Green

Children are uniquely vulnerable to household toxins because of their higher metabolic rate. They require more oxygen, and they breathe in two to three times as much air, relative to body size, than adults. Additionally, children are more physically active, also increasing their breathing rate. Finally, children play on and close to the floor where many heavy pollutants settle. In short, our children breath in more toxins than adults.These toxins are suspected to be a factor in Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS). Also linked to toxins are allergies, asthma learning difficulties, and immune system disorders.Where are these toxins? They are in a wide variety of personal care and household products.
Do you know where toxins are lurking in your home that could pose a health hazard? Is there a link between many diseases and the chemicals we are exposed to? Do the chemicals we breath in cause health risks to our unborn babies? Do environmental toxins and formaldehyde pose a health hazard? What are environmental toxins? What about autoimmune diseases? Is Autism caused by environmental toxins? Is there a link between cancer and exposure to toxins in our homes? These are questions that more and more people are asking. We hope to give you information on this site that will help you to educate yourself and improve your family's health. Many of the steps we take today to go green or eco-friendly in our homes will improve our quality of life and save money.
