There are some things we just won’t try like, crossing the street without looking both ways or walking alone down a dark alley at three a.m.?
Why, because we have all become commercially brainwashed by the ‘cleaning’ products that claim there is no need to scrub or scour…really? One squeeze or spray gets rid of all the dirt, grease and bacteria…really?
As a Horticulture technology major, I understand all there is to know about the chemicals we live with on a daily basis. Oh, about those long stemmed roses we all swoon over? 1/4 of the chemicals used to fight pesticides on these beauties are listed as extremely and or "highly" toxic by the World Health Organization. So what happens when we use products that contain rose hips that are not organic? Or how about the ingredients in Lysol? The active ingredient in many of the Lysol products is benzalkonium chloride. This ingredient is highly toxic to fish, very highly toxic to aquatic invertebrates, moderately toxic to birds, and slightly toxic ("safe") to mammals.
I am sure by now you are all shaking your heads because, “who would eat roses or drink Lysol? That’s right but, where do you think the water from your floor washing bucket ends up? The roses? How many children, dogs and cats in your household are walking on those floors, touching those faucets, walls and appliances before putting their feet or hands in their mouths?
