It was last summer that I wrote this post. I found it interesting that one year later, the information is still spot-on and thus, I continue to share this message to anyone who will listen. I hope it will be beneficial to all of you:
For those of us who defied the Surgeon General’s warning on the cigarette package for all those years…. We all know,  how valid the warning was and still is.
And now,  research has proven that many products that families are using in our homes around their children …

We have reached the halfway point of 2011. As quickly as those first 6 months have passed, so too, have the years that I’ve been on this planet and can recall some memorable Independence Day, July 4th, celebrations.
But, no matter where or with whom I celebrated, each year I become more aware of the significance of this holiday. With age, I believe comes at least a little more wisdom and appreciation of my liberties and blessings.
I am very fortunate to have been born in an amazing country, these United States …

The Oregon BPA-Free Baby Bill (SB 695) is currently going through the Oregon House and is experiencing some serious roadblocks. If, the issue is not resolved by end of day today, Wednesday, June 1, 2011, it may never make it out of committee.
Oregon’s bill proposes removal of BPA from baby bottles, sippy cups and reusable water bottles. Toxic BPA has been linked to several increasing children’s developmental problems.
Representative Ben Cannon, a state legislative sponsor of the Oregon BPA-Free Baby Bill (SB 695) filed a “discharge petition” that will allow this …

I was reading one of my favorite green blogs, Non-Toxic Kids, where I’m always educated and inspired.  This weekend, Katy had posted some great info about Every Mother Counts, an advocacy and mobilization campaign to increase education and support for maternal and child health.

With good intentions back in 1976, Congress passed the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA). The purpose of this legislation was to enact laws intended to protect families from toxic chemicals in the products they are exposed to everyday.
The TSCA is long overdue for an overhaul, but several in Congress are working hard to pass the Safe Chemicals Act of 2011. The Safe Chemicals Act would overhaul the 35-year-old Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA), which is widely perceived to have failed to protect public health and the environment. Specifically the …

But, do not despair, spring cleaning doesn’t have to be noxious and difficult during the actual cleansing part of the process. There are safe and non-toxic cleaning products available that are economical and work really well.
My favorite (of course), are the Get Clean products from Shaklee. I first learned about them on Oprah’s Earth Day show in …

A recent study published in the Environmental Health Perspectives concludes that there really are no “safe” plastics, due to all the chemicals, additives, and processing aids that go into making plastic products. In a test of over 450 plastic containers, they discovered that nearly all exhibited some kind of estrogenic activity.
A large majority of plastic products contain bisphenol A or phthalates that have been proven to be an estrogen disruptor in our bodies. These chemicals are released when the plastics are heated and/or stressed. Numerous studies have shown links between …

This year, marks the 100′th anniversary of International Women’s Day. And, the month of March is nationally decreed as Women’s History Month.
Who do you think of when you recall women in history that made a difference? I know for myself, the list covers a wide range of famous women that I’ve never met, down to ladies that have personally touched my life in a positive way.
A local women’s organization that I have been involved with for over a year now, is the Idaho Business Women’s Network (IBWN). I have been …
