Welcome to Earth Day

To bring it home, a friend of mine Mary Liz sent me an email today that outlined just how un-safe the average home is. To give you a little insight, I no longer eat processed foods, or conventional vegetables, fruits or meats. Sure it means I pay a hell of a lot more for my food, but it also has changed the way I feel and think about food.

For Earth Day, I'm making a pledge to rid my home of cleaning
products that contain harmful chemicals.  I encourage you to
do the same:

Purchase a 100% Natural home cleaning kit here:  http://store.eco-me.com/echoclkit.html

Why?

* The average home contains as much as 25 pounds of toxic
cleaning products. 

* Companies are not required by law to list the contents of their
products and testing for long-term health effects are not
enforced. Toxins, even trace amounts, can be absorbed into
your body and organs within seconds of exposure.

*The air in our homes is 3 to 7 times more chemically polluted
than outdoor air, pollution and all.

  • About The Author

  • This is the definitive blog for the musings of Brian Smith. I've been a programmer / sys admin for most of my life. I don't have much to say, I work, I enjoy my family, and every once in awhile I'll dump a little something I want to keep track of here.

    Currently I am the CTO of DNS.com where we provide geolocation based authoritative DNS services for the masses. I also have been working on drafts that are submitted to the IETF to the dnsext working group.

    In the past I have been involved with organizing various user groups, including an off and on again 2600 group. Also I have been involved with the development of Seclude, an open source secure instant messaging platform as well as Sliker, a project that later developed into plasma for the KDE desktop environment.

    Additionally I am an avid home brewer making my own beer. Everything else should be below or to the left.
