Shower Chlorine Filter – Economy

Shower Chlorine Filter – Economy

Our skin can absorb as much chlorine from one shower as our stomachs absorb by drinking chlorinated water all day! If you are filtering your drinking/cooking water, it makes sense to also filter your shower water. Chlorine can also make skin dry and flaky. It can make hair dry and brittle, and ruin hair coloring.

Even in places with “good water,” what comes out of our faucets is often contaminated with a wide range of toxins, heavy metals, and trace pharmaceuticals. The sheer volume of water-treatment options is staggering. We offer only a limited number of filtration systems in our online store because most folks need only one of a…

Automatic Toilet Cleaners: Searching for Good Stuff

Automatic Toilet Cleaners: Searching for Good Stuff

When we moved into our new apartment this fall, I noticed that the bathrooms each had a clip-on automatic toilet cleaner, like this: I, of course, removed them immediately, partially because it somehow felt gross to pee on the thing the prior family peed on (not rational, but just icky), but also because I assumed…

While sometimes I indulge in a really luxurious soak, with magazines, candles, and face masks (this is my current fave), often…

I hate to rain on your parade, but gear like raincoats, rain pants, rain boots and umbrellas can be made with toxic materials that are bad for consumers, workers, and the environment. In the past, some studies have found worrisome stuff like heavy metals and phthalates in kids’ rain gear….

Sneaky Toxin #2: Organic & Grass-Fed Dairy

Sneaky Toxin #2: Organic & Grass-Fed Dairy

This series of blog posts is all about hidden and surprising sources of toxins, and this one REALLY surprised me when I learned about it a few years ago. It also scared me: as a quasi-vegetarian, I eat a lot of dairy—dairy that I assumed was healthful, since it is always organic and often comes…

Why Organic Dairy is Toxic

Why Organic Dairy is Toxic

This post originally appeared a guest blog for Dr. Alan Greene’s website.
