The cleaning supply business is a multi-billion dollar business. Society is convinced that they must use these toxic and environmentally destructive products for their home to be considered clean. However, are you aware of just how harmful common cleaning supplies are to your health, the health of your children and the environment? Many household cleaning supplies including laundry detergents, toothpaste and shampoo contain formaldehyde. Most common household cleaners stored in you home are considered hazardous waste by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Furthermore, the EPA has determined that indoor air quality is at least 100 times more polluted than outdoors due to the use of toxic cleaning products which leaves residue in the air and on the surface. Most common household cleaners are petrochemically derived or a synthetic thereof. These petrochemical products are literally produced from crude petroleum oil. When using these types of products the residue left in the air or on the surface is absorbed through the skin and thus enters the blood stream which is then absorbed into the fatty tissues. Studies have shown that these toxins can lead to a multitude of diseases such as asthma, allergies, and auto-immune diseases and even ADD. Ironically, over the past few decades, cases of cancer and asthma have grown significantly. Researchers have concluded that there is a direct correlation between petrochemical cleaning products and disease. Not only are common household cleaners detrimental to your health they are just as detrimental to the environment. In the U. S. we pour down 22 million pounds of household toxins down the drain. Most of the products are not adequately processed by sewage treatments or septic tanks. The long term effect of these toxins on our environment will offend our surface and ground water. Additionally, if every household in the United States replaced one 28 oz bottle of petroleum based cleaner with a bio-based product, we would save 118,700 barrels of oil per year. In order to protect the health of our families and the environment, there are safer alternatives for cleaning. Bio-based, degradable, and environmentally products are available. When purchasing green cleaning supplies be wary. Products claiming to be eco-safe, environmentally friendly and natural does not necessarily mean it is non-toxic. There is no regulation on the above terms and thus manufacturers add these terms to their product label and deceive the public into thinking they are purchasing safe cleaning supplies. This type of deceptive marketing is called greenwashing. If a product label indicates that it needs special handling or ventilation be forewarned that it is detrimental to your health and the environment. There is no need to expose yourself or your environment to these toxins. When purchasing cleaning supplies it is imperative that you read the label. The product label should identify true eco-friendly ingredients such as grain alcohol versus the toxin 2-butoxyethanol, a solvent. Disinfectant type products should contain plant oils derived from eucalyptus, rosemary or sage rather than a registered pesticide such as triclosan which is found in anti-bacterial soaps.

The report was minor, and they do not suggest that non-reusable , green bags may be used. However, according to the standard, special interest groups, ranging from plastics manufacturers, sawmills has handled cases much more. They began to promote the report torn from their context to serve their interests. Environment and Plastics Industry Council report is no need to worry at all. Reusable green bags are a much better paper and plastic for various reasons, from environmental toll of disposable bags in savings for businesses. These interest groups, including manufacturers of plastics and deforesters irresponsible germophobia to grow more swine influenza. What they failed to mention that simply washing reusable bag when they avoid contact with any contamination issues. The use of wood and plastic, to scare tactics to protect their interests, and they are both improperly and unethically. The reusable bags are no different from other improvements in consumer goods in the course of history. During the Second Industrial Revolution (1890) terry towels replaced by the base material for towels. Experienced users better and more enjoyable experience all around. Be aware, however, like all parents, if they are washed to unpack their luggage child summer camp must towels. It's now become second nature, and most people wash and dry towels regularly. This prevents mold, bacteria, and anything that can be a cause for concern. Simply wash your reusable green bag after it comes into contact with something suspicious has the same effect and to report on totally unfounded. The benefits outweigh the reusable bags and all concerns. Green bags are durable and do not fill landfill sites or to destroy forests, like their counterparts in plastic and paper. At last count, about using 203 billion (nine zeros), were this year. The effects of these were drastic and far-reaching. First, raw materials for the manufacture of plastic bags are used in the oil complex which poison rivers and streams. In addition, these plastic bags are not biodegradable, they degrade the image, which means, while the molecules can become smaller and smaller, they actually leave the ground. The reverse is true for reusable bags. They are often rpeters who not only use recycled paper manufactured products, but the safe return to earth when you're done with them. Jason Tunick, Factory Direct Bargains, an industry leader in environmentally friendly reusable bags, said: "For companies of all sizes to switch to reusable bags today. The environmental balance of single use bags made, is simply too large to avoid being arrested. Our bags are made from recyclable materials, durable and have a drastically smaller footprint on the earth. Not only do we enhance our customers' marketing and news. "His feelings are reflected by others in the industry. Environmentally friendly reusable bags are not only good for the environment, they also make economic sense. Business owners have discovered they can effectively use green bags to replace its entire stock of plastic. The green bags are very affordable, and allow their customers to promote their marketing message for years to come. Do not be sent to the victim, the ambiguous message of special interest groups, reusable bags are safe, environmentally friendly, and the only alternative to disposable bags. Go green today!
