As much as I don't like people telling me what to do, I need someone to just tell me what to do. All this crap about what is in this product, and avoid this because of this chemical, and avoid this because of this plastic that releases this, and look for these things in these types of products, but look out for this etc...
Can someone just say "This brand is safe." Use this "___" on your kid. Buy "___" kind of milk - it's safe. Use "___" kind of makeup.
I have found a few sites that do tell me some good information like: http://www.thegreenguide.com (they have pdf's and shoppers guides) and http://www.backtopure.com/2007/08/bisphenol-free-and-phthalate-free.htm and http://www.bisphenolafree.org/ and http://www.realmama.org/archives-winter-2005/chemicals-in-plastics.php.
It's a lot of research and a lot of work if you just want to buy your kid a sippy cup to put juice in so he won't spill it on the floor.
Why are we using all this crap that we know is bad? We know it's harmful, yet in order to NOT have it in your system, you have to research a product for an hour or more or even call someone to find out if it's going to hurt you or even leave something in your blood for 30 years or even forever!!
I'm going to make an effort to go more Green around the house. I am going to try cleaning products first. Seventh Generation seems the most reasonable. We'll see how easy this will be....
