Houseplants Improve Sick Buildings: Reduce Formaldehyde and Toxins with plants

First to recommend

Description

Indoor air pollution is an increasing problem these days, but some plants naturally clean the air and make our homes healthier. The Spider Plants were the first plants shown to help clean the air. They work best against formaldehyde. These beloved hanging plants come in several varieties, all which make babies at the ends of their leaves. They prefer medium light and evenly moist soil.

Shaklee H2 All Purpose Green Cleaner

First to recommend

2 people recommended this item

Description

Once you realize how many harmful chemicals are in commonly used cleaning products, it's difficult to ignore the danger they pose to you, your family, and the planet. That's why I've been using "green" cleaning products in our home for some time now. But I only recently discovered the Get Clean line from Shaklee.

Both my housekeeper and I were initially skeptical about "all-purpose" cleaners. But we tried the Basic H2 product pictured above and love it. It does exactly what it promises to do. A 16oz bottle creates 48 gallons of safe (non-toxic, natural, and biodegradable), all-purpose cleaner. Use it for walls, windows, mirrors, countertops, floors, appliances, stoves, woodwork, and more. By making their products super-concentrated, Shaklee creates less waste: less weight to ship, less packaging to throw away. So it's better for both your family and the environment.

I am really proud of my new organic and fair trade maternity collection. Our organic and fair trade maternity tees are made with 100% organic pima cotton, renowned for its softness and and luxurious feel.

We designed our tees to be fitted and long, they will adapt to growing bellies all the way to 40 weeks thanks to the 100% stretch of baby rib cotton. They are also great to wear in your 4th trimester as a transition top after the baby is born.
