Here is a great site from the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency on reducing the toxic chemicals in your home and garden. The advice on this website is practical and easily achievable without a major effort or life change!
You don't need to run out and invest in a solar panel system for your home in order to impact the environment positively: Instead, why not start going green by improving the quality of the air and materials you breathe and touch everyday?
Take a simple step like choosing to buy products in spray pump containers instead of aerosol or buying a mercury free thermometer.Even taking off your shoes when you come into your house can have a significant impact on the level of pesticides, lead, cadmium and other chemicals in your home!
The site has a ton of great advice for cleaning with natural products, natural gardening, healthy eating and more. The advice is straightforward and fact filled, without selling you anything or pushing the point!
Hope you find this useful!
