Home Products
Many products used in, around, or for the home pose a health hazard and contribute to pollution and the creation of a toxic environment. Traditional paints contain volatile organic compounts, mattressses contain polyurethane foam, glues or formaldehyde, and new carpets emit volatile organic compounds as well. And the list goes on! However, you can change that in your home and make sure you have a healthy and non-toxic home. The companies listed below provide some eco-friendly and healthier alternatives to solve the most common household toxicities.
