1. Start by replacing a bunch of your cleaners (your general spray
cleaner, glass cleaner, counter top cleaner, floor and bathroom
cleaners) with a natural, nontoxic all-purpose cleaner.
This one product can replace almost everything….. Really! I recommend getting the whole Get Clean Kit though, it's amazing!!
2. Replace your laundry detergent with a natural nontoxic one so the clothes you wear and the sheets you sleep on have no fumes for you to breathe.
3. Go to your bathroom and read the shampoo, makeup and moisturizer
labels. Ask yourself, “Do I really need scent in these products?”
Take stock of all of your other products and try to replace one a week with a safer, greener choice.
4. Use BPA-free plastic baby bottles and fill them with breast milk or organic formula.
Choose powdered formula over canned formula to avoid BPA leaching from the can-lining.
5. Pay attention (without freaking out) to the toys you buy for your
kids. Avoid lead paint and soft plastics that contain phthalates.
6. Shop the perimeter of the grocery store and avoid processed food.
Even better, choose organic and locally grown meats, dairy, fruits, and
vegetables.
7. Try to get the plastic containers out of your kitchen and replace them with glass containers.
8. Make a vow to stop buying bottled water—NOW. Instead, buy a water filter pitcher and keep two in your fridge at all times.
9. For cleaner and healthier air, open your windows once a day when the outside temperature is comfortable.
10. When buying new stuff for your home, focus on green products especially mattresses and carpets.
Just remember...easy simple steps are all you need to take to start making changes! I'm slowly changing our house over to a Green home, and I'm loving the changes I'm seeing :)
