I thought it was nutty at first, but I really like how I can spray it on kitchen counter tops and not worry if a little accidentally sprays on something I'm going to drink/eat from that's on the counter top. I use it to clean windows, counter tops, and the bathroom. I have a lot of green cleaning and money saving tips on my blog which might be helpful or just email me if you have any questions.

I love him! The best thing we can do is increase awareness of potential toxins in our environment, and hopefully new govt. regulations along with the shift in purchasing power away from products containing these harmful chemicals will make it a safer place for us all to live! Its frustrating when Pediatricians/OB's do not seem genuinely concerned with this issue. I have shifted towards buying European toys for my little baby, as they currently have stricter standards than the US. It's a shame that the US is no longer the leader in safety standards. I hope you have a happy and healthy rest of your pregnancy! Thank you so much for your interview with Dr. Harvey Karp and your post. I love him!

How awesome. There is good news in that I just got back from the ABC Kids trade show and there is a decided move away from BPA. Everyone was talking about it, and more and more manufacturers are using better processes and better materials - whether they believe in it or simply because there's consumer demand now. Yeah!

It puts it all in perspective. I know, that was my favorite part of our conversation. It puts it all in perspective.

I'm slowly trying to rid our household of as many of these chemical-laced products as I can as well be more picky when it comes to buying groceries. The video linked in this article http://www.cbc.ca/documentaries/doczone/2008/disappearingmale/ really got me thinking about toxins and chemicals and the long-term effects that they will have on us and our children. I suppose it kind of lit a fire under me. Dr. Karp's answer to your last question really hit home...I really like the idea that making these important changes now is an investment in our children's future. Pretty powerful stuff.
