I love
seeing people take a stand and make a difference even if it's just
within their own world. It is empowering. We have incredibly talented
folks in this world who are striving to change both their lives and
ours for the best. And as we're becoming more environmentally
conscious, health consciousness is also on the rise.
Women's Voices for the Earth is
one such grass-roots organization. They're having parties to create
their own homemade cleaning products using safe ingredients. This is
taken from their website:
Women’s Voices for the Earth believes keeping a clean home shouldn't put you or your family at risk for asthma, birth defects or infertility. Until companies come clean about what’s in their products, we think you should make your own.
Can I hear an amen?? Really, all they are asking for is that manufacturers list and use harmless ingredients. Is that too much to demand to keep our families safe? These women don't think so, and count me among them.
Here a report by Women's Voices for the Earth on Household Hazards.
In this country, we always are looking for cures. A cure for a headache, back pain, cancer and many other ailments. I want to know the causes. Why are so many children and adults suffering with asthma, ADHD and autism? And that list of maladies could go on.
I've read that E. Coli comes from eating undercooked beef. Really? E. Coli is fecal contamination in our foods. Yes, eating undercooked beef that is contaminated with E. Coli will make you sick and possibly dead. However, cooking our food to a higher temperature is a cure; it will kill the E. Coli that is present in your yummy dinner. I think it's strange that we're accepting the presence of this bacterium in our safe food supply.
Last week a friend stopped by and came inside to chat. She stopped and looked around and asked why the RV looked different, and it smells so good, she said. That, my friends, is the difference that using natural cleaning products makes. Yes, I've used the manufactured scents to freshen the house but had never been able to achieve the freshness that we now enjoy. And, no more headaches for me while I'm cleaning.
