Changing the world begins with individual actions, and small changes can add up to big differences in our households and the Earth’s sustainability. Try implementing a few new habits to help reduce toxins at home.
One of the simplest ways to reduce toxic exposure is by filtering water. From washing produce to cooking to personal hygiene, clean water is essential in every household. Filter water to eliminate toxins such as pesticides and lead.
Plastic kitchen items can harm the environment and your body. Even BPA-free products often contain other additives that can be just as dangerous. Ditch the plastic and stick with glass or ceramic.
Furniture and upholstery can contain flame retardants, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and other harmful toxins. Vacuum with a HEPA filter to help eliminate toxins from upholstery and carpeting.
