Six billion pounds. That’s the number of chemicals Americans use each year—in products that we put on our bodies and in our homes. But many of these chemicals are practically undetectable. Often, you can’t see, taste or even smell them. In fact, some of these chemicals are there specifically to mask the telltale smell of other chemicals!
That’s why Rachel Sarnoff (MommyGreenest.com), Tania Reuben (PureNaturalDiva.com), Paige Wolf (PaigeWolf.com) and Alicia Voorhies (EarthMamaAngelBaby.com) want to equip you crucial information about what we’re calling “silent but deadly” toxic chemicals. Information that you can not only incorporate into your life, but share with your readers.
Indoor air pollution can lead to serious health problems like allergies and asthma. Childhood asthma rates are now at epidemic levels, with nearly seven million children affected, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
According to the Environmental Protection Agency indoor air pollution can be as much as 100 times higher, than outdoor air pollution – a statistic widely attributed to chemicals. The agency reports poor indoor air quality as one of the top five health risks in the United States. All this while we spend more and more time indoors.
Where can these air-polluting chemicals be found? In cleaning products, personal care products and scented products. In short, they have permeated every facet of our lives.
Want to learn how to recognize them and what better options to choose? Come to this panel!
Our panel will cover:
- Better read personal care, baby and cleaning product labels to identify “red flags” linked to hidden toxic chemicals.
- Identify KEY toxic ingredients to avoid on product labels.
- Utilize online resources to better assess just what’s in your products.
- Use air filters and houseplants to clean your air.
- Find a safer way to clean clothes.
- Use a common sense test to identify synthetic fragrances – so you can begin to train your senses to identify chemical scents.
- DIY your own “grandma tested” household cleaners, baby and personal care products from a handful of pantry ingredients.
- Perfume your air and products with safe and natural scents.
- And so much more!
This panel has a combined total of over 31 years of experience in the green space. Years of experience and know how to share just how easy it is to shift to better cleaners (Alicia), baby products (Rachel) and cosmetics and fragrance (Tania), and help you move from information to ACTION to create a safer environment for you, your family and your readers!
If you think it’s just a little lotion, room spray or disinfectant – how much harm are we talking about? This panel is designed for you. Americans spend over 14 Billion dollars a year on chemically filled cleaning products. We’ll challenge beliefs and provide real life solutions so you and your readers can create a safer home environment and look fabulous – it’s simple with the right tools.
