About This Book

Asthma, skin conditions, ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder), even cancer – all of them are increasing in the population and the links between them and our modern chemical-laden way of living are becoming clearer every day. So are the links between these chemicals and the degradation of the environment and non-human population of our planet. Manufacturers keep on producing products using substances that research shows, again and again, are harmful, and it seems like our governments and lawmakers just stick their fingers in their ears and sing La la la and let big business get on with it.

If they’re not going to help us, we have to help ourselves.

This book will do that – help you make choices and decisions for that most sacred of places, your home. It’s going to arm you with the information you need about what is bad for you, but knowing what’s bad isn’t enough. So we’ll give you lots of advice and tips on how to make positive choices that make your home a greener and safer place. That includes how to furnish it and clean it with things that don’t harm us or the environment, because it’s not just about us, it’s about our planet too.
