You Are What You Breathe!!

There are many small changes we can make, one is going green in our homes. It is becoming common knowledge that the toxic chemicals in popular products are harmful to you, to your children, to your pets, to the planet.

Household sprays 'linked to one in seven cases of asthma'
Lewis Smith Environment Reporter
Using cleaning sprays and air fresheners while doing housework could account for up to one in seven cases of asthma in adults, a study has found.

Just spraying a cleaner once a week can trigger an attack, according to the research. The risk rose the more that the sprays were used.

Furniture sprays, glass-cleaners and air freshener sprays were associated with the highest risk of a person developing asthma after doing the housework.

... Over 80,000 chemicals have been introduced in the last 50 years. Thousands of these chemicals are now in our homes in the form of cleaning products.

... Recent tests show hundreds of chemicals in the core blood samples of pre-born babies.

... Common bleach is the #1 household chemical involved in poisoning.

... 1 in 13 school-aged children has asthma. Rates in children under five have increased more than 160% from 1980 – 1994

... If your home is anything like the average U.S. home, you generate more than 20 pounds of household hazardous waste each year (the EPA designates toilet cleaners, tub and tile cleaners, oven cleaners, and bleach as hazardous waste).

The question now is What's under YOUR sink?

We Haz A Vizit! or Let's CRASH at Jody and Phil's

Jody got a cryptic phone message from Rita, that her and Matt would be at our door in a day or two. Oh and don't call me back I am roaming. Well that set off a small house cleaning rush(easy since we live in a small house) and quick trip to the grocery store. Just as Jody was getting in the shower the phone rings again and they need a guide for the last mile, off I go to play pilot car and we get our first out of state visitors. We did some catching up, local site seeing, ate out a couple of times and played some Hold Em and a good time was had by all and like Matt and Rita, you are welcome too. Rita did literally crash at our place, but that's a topic for another post.
