Our family is simplifying and living greener...we are looking at hair and body care products, and removing toxic substances like flouride and sodium laurel sulphate. A great way to do this is to go back to way our forefathers used to live. Washing our hair with home-made or simple, natural shampoos. Brushing our teeth with water and killing germs in our mouths with hydrogen peroxide mouthwash.
My goal is for us to only put products down our drains that are non-toxic and eventually edible. Because the water treatment plants are taking the solid waste materials (also known as sewage sludge), composting them with dirt, and giving them back to people for use as compost in their gardens or shipping the waste to remote areas and dumping them. This means that all the waste medicine, cleaning products, petroleum products including mercury, antibiotics and more from all the hospitals, automtive shops and homes can all be found in sewage sludge.
The solution to our toxic waste problem is to stop using toxins to clean our homes and bodies and stop putting them down the drains. If this idea resonates with you, a GREAT place to start is to read the book, "Green Goes With Everything" by Sloan Barnett.
