GO GREEN!!

Now that we are more aware of the effects of these products on our health and environment, more and more green products have hit the market. Green products are non-toxic, biodegradable, and made from renewable resources. Below are a list of some of the best we have found on the market.

Seventh Generation Products-A Vermont based company that has been the leader in green cleaning. They have committed to deep green, and transparency about the ingredients in their products.
Mrs. Meyers Products- These products are based on aromatherapy and are ammonia, chlorine bleach, phosphate, and paraben free, and not tested on animals.
Dr. Bronner's Products-These products are made of naturally derived ingredients that are not tested on animals, and biodegrade rapidly after doing the job. 
The Honest Co.-A company that offers green baby products, bath and body products, and cleaning products. Their cleaning products are biodegradable, non toxic and pH neutral.
Make it yourself-Baking soda and Vinegar can be used around your house to clean almost anything. Mix either of those with a little warm water, and BAM you have a homemade all-purpose cleaner.





 Bottom line is this, we only get one life and one earth. Both are endangered by the products we use around the house, using green products can help to keep our bodies health and our earth healthy!!
