I love finding new ways to cut harmful chemicals out of our lives, too! Sounds like a great book!
ReplyDeleteThere was a study recently that showed how air fresheners can be carcinogenic, it's insane to think how much everyday products can affect our health, and it's only ever for the worse!
ReplyDeleteLaura, that is absolutely frightening!
ReplyDeleteI love my air fresheners and never even thought it could be a carcinogenic. We try and use more natural products when we clean...I react badly to strong chemical smells.
Looks like a great book. I was just thinking about how to use soap scraps this week. :)
