Our homes are filled with plastics, and most of us don’t really know what they’re made of — or whether they’re safe.

Tired of being confused??
Making sense of plastics can be confusing and time-consuming: Can I recycle it? Can I microwave it? Can I drink out of it? And personally, I’m tired of wondering if I’m ditching plastics where it really matters, or not. A person can get a wee tired of it all.

So, rather than despair, throw it all out, or do nothing (all options I’ve considered), I’m going to follow my EWG colleagues’ advice to pick plastics carefully. It’s important to me that they rely on solid science and suggest safer choices that are truly do-able when it comes to my family’s environmental health.

Consultants will help you assess what you would save on a monthly basis by switching to compact fluorescents, and help you detect costly water leaks.   Did you know that Feng Shui professionals tell their clients that water leaks symbolize money going down the drain?  Even if you are not…
