Even though we know that living within a toxic home reduces our chance for health and wellness, not everyone will make the change to non-toxic living. Yet every small change has a large effect upon the environment. Switching can be quite pleasing, as the air in your home feels fresh and pure, the taste of water has a dramatic change, health issues; like headaches, back aches, emotional issues seem to just slip away. Many people can fairly quickly see physical and mental changes in a short time after changing your home from a toxic to non toxic environment. This especially affects children whose bodies and brains are developing. We have paid dearly for the “ease” that went with the loss of natural cleaning supplies. They made our lives easier while our health and that of the earth declined. Is today the day you begin to bring your home into a non toxic health and wellness environment? If not now, when?

How Toxic is Your Home ~ Does that Lead to Health and Wellness

How Eco Friendly is YOUR Home?

Published by Tana Hamiter - Goes Green Mentor

We have much to learn and do something about the condition of our homes. That place of safty where we spend the major part of our lives. The place where we raise our children. Yet what do we really know ---

CHECK OUT THE FACTS - DID YOU KNOW?

* 150 chemicals found in the home are connected to allergies, birth defects,
cancer and psychological disorders. [Source:2006 Consumer Protection Agency (CPA)] Consider high quality Green Air Cleaners.

* Women who work in the home have a 54% higher death rate from cancer than women who work outside of the home. [Source:2006- 17- year EPA study]

We all have a choice to make. Time of talking is over, it is the time of action
and it begins in our home. Take the opportunity to be a part of changing the
world and make the environmentally conscious decision to preserve the PLANET we ive on so that our children and their children will also be able to enjoy its beauty for years to come. Eco Friendly with Homes Going Green!

What can YOU do to make your home a Goes Green Home and Safer for your health and that of your family? Health problems, both physical and emotional are rising to unprecedented heights in the US and the industrialized world. You can take many steps to safe guard your water, air and radically reduce the chemicals in your home. Consider a Pure Clean Water System for your family.

First suggestion is to make a family commitment to clear your home of toxic chemicals. But at what level?

There are many different reasons and ways in which people will make daily choices. Much of which in my opinion will not happen in America until people feel they have to. We have grown into a very national point of view rather than globel. That is starting to give way as we realize that the resources of the earth must be shared. Each family has to make that choice and it’s a difficult choice because it requires change and commitment to follow through. Change can be challanging even when we want to do it due to ingrained habits.

My husband and I, in ourhome took boxes, many boxes and went from room to room gathering ALL toxic and non environmentally friendly products: cleaning supplies, scented candles and incenses, personal care products that were made with fragrances or other chemical components, laundry supplies, etc. We were shocked when we were done at the number of boxes and the vast array of chemicals in our home. They were removed! We opened the doors and windows and aired out the house.

We were commited to non toxic cleaning supplies! But it does take viligance as things can creep back in a little here and a little there. Every once in a while we have to review each room and see if we find any hidden surprises.

Then as we replaced with products that were:

* Nontoxic - chemical free
* Natural
* Highly Concentrated
* Biodegradable
* No phosphates
* No chlorine
* Never tested on animals
* Fragrance Free

Our first surprise was how few products we needed to do the same tasks and
how much money we would and did save due to the fact that many ecofriendly products are very highly concentrated and a little dab will do ya (like grandma would say).

Second surprise was the high quality and convenience of not needing to drive to pick up things. They arrived either by auto ship in a timely manner at our home or some I ordered just as needed. I searched the net for companies that met my needs as well as suppoting our local Co-Op stores. Supporting local helps keep our friends and neighbors with a job. We especially noticed a big difference as we washed our clothing and got the chemicals and smells out of our clothing.

Health improved, attitudes improved and pocket book improved. Friends
commented (they didn’t know what we had done) on how … well…. Something just felt different in our home, lighter! Then we explained and several of them made changes to their homes. Goes Green is catching on all over the country. AND it does make a huge impact on your home, family and the environment. Environmently leading to a Goes Green Health and Welness home.
We already had the water filers in place so that was covered.

But the clean air was another issue to face. So step by step we changed our habits and have been the healthier for it. You too have a Goes Green Home but if the way we did it is too intimidating, then take one step at a time; one area of change perhaps each month.

Perhaps the laundry area first; then cleaning supplies and so on until your home is a safer and healthier home. has been the leader in the industry for natural cleaning, highly concentrated with so many uses that it stops the need for purchasing so many differnt cleaners.

Go for a Goes Green home for Health and Wellness.
