What will it take to getrepparttar American people concerned more about their health andrepparttar 114783 health of their loved ones? What will it take to get us to recognize that we are allowing hazardous chemicals into our households every time we bring major brands of household cleaners into our homes? What will it take to get people to want to further educate themselves on this particular subject? You tell me! Better yet, I will tell you. Chances are that, until something happens either directly to us, to our family members, or to our friends, we will more than likely let this issue go without further ado. The choice to research this matter more rest solely upon your shoulders. There are numerous sites that are dedicated to discussingrepparttar 114784 issues of household chemicals andrepparttar 114785 health risks that are associated with using these products. There are products, some of which are home remedies, and others that can be purchased, that are designed to be safer onrepparttar 114786 environment and safer for and on us as consumers. The fact ofrepparttar 114787 matter is that we use these types of products on a daily basis, and no matter what, we will continue to purchase these products for our use. I know and understand that we cannot eliminate all ofrepparttar 114788 chemicals and toxins in our homes, but we CAN REDUCE THE AMOUNTS OF TOXINS THAT WE ALLOW INTO OUR HOMES! I personally have switched my household cleaners and personal care products over to more natural products, and I can tell you that I absolutely loverepparttar 114789 products. I loverepparttar 114790 fact that I do not have to wear gloves or glasses or need to ventilate my home when I clean, and I loverepparttar 114791 fact that my family is using products that are designed to be safer and non toxic. I can also testify torepparttar 114792 fact thatrepparttar 114793 household cleaners work just as good asrepparttar 114794 major brands, if not better. I have done what I can to “open your eyes” or shed some light on this subject, and I can only hope that you will takerepparttar 114795 initiative to research this more forrepparttar 114796 sake of you and your loved ones. If you should have any questions and or concerns regarding either more information or where you can find natural and safer products to use, then email me at StnypntNc@aol.com, or feel free to call me at 704-873-1226, and I will be more than happy to assist you more.

I am a loving husband and father of two girls and a son, and I think that the American people have a right and need to further educate theirselves and loved ones on this topic. I am no expert on this matter, but I have been doing research on this for my families well being and safety.
