[...] Leave a Comment // Yesterday we took a look at some new research that says America is Unprepared for Climate Change. In that post I pointed out that if you believe in global warming, if you don’t believe in global warming, if you think make-believe elves started the global warming issue, it really doesn’t matter.

Rebecca,

Nice to see you again. I think that cleaners are one of the most difficult switches to make. Going with companies that disclose their ingredients is always wise.

I have thought of myself as “green” for quite a while now, yet I have only recently begun converting to eco-friendly products. It’s difficult to make the switch when you go your whole life believing chemicals = wonderful germ killers. It’s even more difficult when mainstream products put “eco” in their names, as you discuss in the Palmolive article.

Once again we seem to be writing about similar topics . . . over at http://greenbabyguide.com, we’re asking readers to post their “toxic confessions.” Many of us still have a lot of toxic junk under our sinks. We’re giving away some nice, eco-friendly alternatives to our confessors!
